Tested algae and culture conditions Two freshwater microalgal species, P. subcapitata (strain CCAP 278/4) and C. vulgaris (strain AG40003), were acquired from the Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (CCAP, Scottish Marine Institute, UK) and the Korean Collection for Type Cultures (Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Korea), respectively. Both algal species were maintained […] More

This study is the first to provide information on the edaphic and temporal patterns associated with T. melanosporum FB traits. Our results indicated that each of the examined traits was differently affected by environmental factors. Furthermore, FB weight and Leiodes infestation were subject to interactions among these factors. The number of FBs per dig varied […] More

We collected a total of 296 samples to assess bacterial colonization, shedding, transmission, and detection relative to the experimental inoculation of two groups of ring-billed gulls, each inoculated with a different strain of mcr-1 positive E. coli and housed in separate rooms with contact controls. These samples included 240 swab samples (237 fecal samples and […] More

Literature search strategy, case-study qualifications and dataset The literature search used three electronic databases, namely the University of Southampton’s DelphiS interface, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Prospective case-studies were recognised by individual cases or combinations of the following key terms appearing within either the article title or abstract: regime shift, critical shifts, shift, abrupt […] More
