EDITORIAL 12 May 2020 The pandemic is devastating economies. As countries look to revive growth, recovery must go with — not against — the grain of nature. Governments must resist supporting carbon-intensive industries such as coal-fired power in the dash for growth.Credit: Florian Gaertner/Photothek/Getty “The problem with the notion that nature is indestructible is this: […] More

Our study demonstrates that microplastic contamination affects both composition and function of sediment microbial communities. We report changes in the sediment communities between the control and plastic treatments, as well as differences owing to polymer type. These sediment communities encompass both the sediment in proximity to the microplastics, as well as the biofilms thereon. This […] More

Absolute phototactic behaviour depends on wavelength and past experience In its simplest form, phototaxis consists in making a choice between light and no light – what we called “absolute phototaxis”. Does absolute phototaxis depend on wavelength? And can it be modulated by exposure or aversive training against a specific wavelength? To answer these questions, we […] More
