Wastewater-based estimation of the prevalence of gout in Australia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Allopurinol, a first-line gout treatment drug in Australia, was assessed as a wastewater-based epidemiology biomarker of gout via quantification of the urinary metabolite, oxypurinol in wastewater. The in-sewer stability ... -
Water browning controls adaptation and associated trade-offs in phytoplankton stressed by chemical pollution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The acquisition of tolerance to an environmental stressor can result in organisms displaying slower growth after stress release. While well-grounded in the theory, empirical evidence of the trade-off between stress tolerance ... -
Water Flow Requirements of Post-smolt Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) Reared in Intensive Seawater Flow-through Systems: A Physiological Perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Environmental challenges related to open sea cage production of Atlantic salmon have sparked interest in developing commercial-scale semi-closed sea systems for post-smolt Atlantic salmon (100–1000 g). Determining the ... -
Water-borne pharmaceuticals reduce phenotypic diversity and response capacity of natural phytoplankton communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Chemical micropollutants occur worldwide in the environment at low concentrations and in complex mixtures, and how they affect the ecology of natural systems is still uncertain. Dynamics of natural communities are driven ... -
Weathering impacts the uptake of polyethylene microparticles from toothpaste in Mediterranean mussels (M. galloprovincialis)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were exposed over 21 days to polyethylene (PE) particles (0.01 mg ml−1; 50–570 μm) isolated from toothpaste. PE was deployed in the Outer Oslofjord (Norway) for 21 days, ... -
Weight of evidence tools in the prediction of acute fish toxicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acute fish toxicity (AFT) is a key endpoint in nearly all regulatory implementations of environmental hazard assessments of chemicals globally. Although it is an early tier assay, the AFT assay is complex and uses many ... -
Weir building: A potential cost-effective method for reducing mercury leaching from abandoned mining tailings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)To mitigate mercury (Hg) pollution and reduce Hg transportation downstream, a weir was designed across a river system impacted by leachate from the slagheap of the Yanwuping Hg mine in Wanshan Hg mining area. A whole ... -
What Are Lake Beaches Made of? An Assessment of Plastic Beach Litter on the Shores of Como Bay (Italy)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Plastic waste dispersion is a well-recognized environmental threat, despite continuous efforts towards improving waste disposal management over the last few decades. Plastic litter is known to strongly impact upon water ... -
What Is Marine Biodiversity? Towards Common Concepts and Their Implications for Assessing Biodiversity Status
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Biodiversity’ is one of the most common keywords used in environmental sciences, spanning from research to management, natureconservation, and consultancy. Despite this, our understanding of the underlying concepts varies ... -
What is the impact of kelp forest density and/or area on fisheries?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Kelp forests are highly productive ecosystem engineers of rocky cold-water marine coastlines, providing shelter, habitat and food for a variety of associated organisms. Several factors have been related with an observed ... -
What Is the Role of Agro-Met Information Services in Farmer Decision-Making? Uptake and Decision-Making Context among Farmers within Three Case Study Villages in Maharashtra, India
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Scientific studies of climate and meteorology focusing on India show significant increase in the variability and frequency of extreme precipitation events. The increased variability of weather patterns places a huge ... -
Whole-Organism Transcriptomic Analysis Provides Mechanistic Insight into the Acute Toxicity of Emamectin Benzoate in Daphnia magna
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is an antisea lice chemical widely used in the aquaculture that may also unintentionally affect nontarget crustaceans in the environment. Although the adverse effects of this compound are well ... -
Whose knowledge counts in nature-based solutions? Understanding epistemic justice for nature-based solutions through a multi-city comparison across Europe and Asia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There is increasing advocacy from academics, international agenda-setting organisations, and cities themselves for expert- and evidence driven approaches to multiple aspects of urban climate change and sustainability, ... -
Why do regional biogeochemical models produce contrasting future projections of primary production in the Barents Sea?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Projected future changes in primary production in the Barents Sea vary among different regional biogeochemical models, with some showing an increase, some a decrease, and some no change. This variability has been attributed ... -
Why is the Biotic ligand model so scarcely applied in Brazil? A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Brazil boasts of large hydrographic basins, numerous lentic environments, and an extensive coastal region. These aquatic environments are susceptible to the presence of metals originated from both natural and anthropic ... -
