TL;DR: A quantitative synthesis of longterm biodiversity trends across Europe is reported, showing how, despite overall increase in biodiversity metric and stability in abundance, trends differ between regions, ecosystem types, and taxa.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the variation of physicochemical parameters, biomass and growth of green macroalgae collected between January 1993 and January 1997 in the Mondego Estuary (western coast of Portugal) with the aim to identify the factors that control opportunistic macroalgal abundance in the system.

TL;DR: It is proposed to explore the assumption that the dimension of active genomes, which are primarily a function of the required genetic information to build up an organism, are proportional to the relative contents of DNA in different organisms.

TL;DR: An extensive literature review to find relevant research on the occurrence, fate and effects of azoxystrobin, the first patent of the strobilurin compounds, in aquatic ecosystems in order to identify strengths and gaps in the scientific database revealed that analytical reference standards for the most relevant environmental metabolites of az Oxystrobin are needed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of rooted macrophytes on nutrient dynamics, by comparing bare bottom sediments with eelgrass covered sediments, primary production and the development of organic detritus, was examined.
