Genetically engineered (GE) crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt)(mainly Cry proteins) have become a major control tactic for a number of …

Surface freshwaters—lakes, reservoirs, and rivers—are among the most extensively altered
ecosystems on Earth. Transformations include changes in the morphology of rivers and …

Algae biofuels may provide a viable alternative to fossil fuels; however, this technology must
overcome a number of hurdles before it can compete in the fuel market and be broadly …

The role of allochthonous organic matter in lotic ecosystems has been an important research
topic among aquatic ecologists since the seminal work by Lindeman was published in 1942 …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) microbial pesticides have a 50-year history of safety in agriculture.
Cry proteins are among the active insecticidal ingredients in these pesticides, and genes …

Rivers are a major source of microplastic particles (< 5 mm) to oceans, but empirical
measurements of microplastic movement in freshwater ecosystems are rare. The hard …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a central role in the dynamics of stream and river
ecosystems, affecting processes such as metabolism, the balance between autotrophy and …

The ubiquitous nature of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a Gram-positive bacterium capable of
producing crystal proteins with insecticidal activity during sporulation, is now being mirrored …

The number of anthropogenic compounds that occur in aquatic ecosystems today is in the
thousands, many at trace concentrations. One group of compounds that has captured the …

Food and feed has been produced from genetically modified (GM) crops for 25 years. It is
timely to review whether this technology has globally delivered the expected benefits and …
