Relationships of temperature and biodiversity with stability of natural aquatic food webs
Temperature and biodiversity changes occur in concert, but their joint effects on ecological
stability of natural food webs are unknown. Here, we assess these relationships in 19 …

Evolution of large eyes in Stromboidea (Gastropoda): impact of photic environment and life history traits
Eyes within the marine gastropod superfamily Stromboidea range widely in size, from 0.2 to
2.3 mm—the largest eyes known in any gastropod. Despite this interesting variation, the …

How plastic litter sunk by biofouling recovers buoyancy-The role of benthic predation
J Pinochet, M Thiel, M Urbina - Science of The Total Environment, 2024 - Elsevier
Estimates suggest that the amount of plastic litter discarded in the ocean is several times
greater than what remains floating at the sea surface, raising questions about the fate of this …
