Abstract The presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment has generated global concerns. However, explicit assessment effect multiple anthropogenic activities on existence MPs freshwater system is scarcely reported. This study quantified and analyzed their relationship with a organism: midge larvae (Diptera: Chironomidae). took place an urban river consisted comparing abundance types MPs. Our results highlight that, while industrial area was most important variable contributing to...
1. An understanding of how biodiversity confers ecosystem stability is crucial in managing ecosystems under major environmental changes. Multiple drivers can stabilize functions over time. However, we know little about local conditions influence these drivers, and consequently they indirectly shape the ecological ecosystems. 2. We hypothesized that factors have opposite influences (i.e., not necessarily either positive or negative) on temporal communities different ranges depending involved....
Abstract The aim of this paper was to study the physical–chemical composition watermelon seed oil extracted by a mechanical process using an expeller and chemical hexane as solvent. had high concentration unsaturated fatty acids. two primary sterols were stigmasterol β‐sitosterol, which corresponded approximately 47 30% total phytosterols. low tocopherol content (65.19 mg/kg for S 73.19 E). Comparing extraction methods, produced superior quality with respect oxidative stability, carotenoids...
Abstract Chemical interesterification of different lipid materials has considerable potential for the production a wide variety special fats with improved functional and nutritional properties. The present study aimed to evaluate chemical blends high‐oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) fully hydrogenated palm (FHPO) in ratios (% w/w) 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 50:50. were characterized triacylglycerol composition, melting point, solid fat content crystallization behavior, some applications food products...
1. Worldwide concern about the consequences of climate change has prompted efforts to understand and predict responses populations changes in temperature. 2. A heat wave can adversely affect organisms, may different life stages differently, could decrease populations. In this study, green peach aphid [ Myzus persicae (Sulzer) ] nymphs, reproductive adults, late‐reproductive adults were exposed a wave, defined as 5 °C above control temperature regime for five consecutive days. 3. The negative...
Summary 1. The effects of flooding on top predators are poorly understood globally, but particularly in monsoonal streams. We therefore attempted to assess how inter‐annual and intra‐annual variations flood magnitude affected an obligate riverine predator, the brown dipper ( Cinclus pallasii ), its invertebrate prey, mountain Tachia River, Taiwan. Major one study years (2005) allowed insight into abnormally large flows. 2. abundance biomass insects, dippers, decreased steadily from 2003 2005...
1. Due to climate change, contemporary scenarios forecast an increase in extreme weather, which may have considerable impacts on the world's riverine ecosystems. Because flow regime is a primary determinant of structure and function lotic ecosystems, changes weather could fundamentally alter these ecosystems through hydrologic disturbance regimes. 2. In this paper, we use abundance/biomass comparison (ABC) method, based r / K selection theory, event probability distribution characterise...
The formation and stabilization of fat crystals in palm oil (PO) by the templating effects sorbitan tristearate (STS) sucrose stearate (S-370) were examined. We observed that crystallization mechanism occurred via heterogeneous nucleation, which was induced co-crystallization or seeding, after addition STS S-370, respectively. Overall, both emulsifiers, caused an increase hardness PO, related to changes microstructure. In addition, intensity this effect shown be dependent on emulsifiers...
The species-area relationship (SAR) is a well-established, globally recognized ecological pattern, and research on SAR has expanded to include the phylogenetic diversity-area (PDAR). However, this generally been limited terrestrial systems. Using data freshwater macroinvertebrates, log–log form of PDAR power models were compared between Lhasa River Niyang Tibetan Plateau in China. study reveals that there significant difference slopes two rivers, with having considerably higher slope. beta...
As a renewable energy source, small hydropower (SHP) is an essential component of sustainable development. However, the importance not well expressed in either scientific research or policy development nor it clearly defined United Nation's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This study conducted review and bibliometric analysis based on 1108 published articles from 1990 to 2022 field research. provides overview present state worldwide hydropower, visualizing results with mapping,...
The predicted effects of global climate change include altered patterns precipitation and more extreme weather events, leading to an increase in the severity frequency episodic disturbances such as floods. These changes may affect lotic prey communities, which could indirectly aquatic riparian predators through trophic linkages. We assessed whether flooding affected apparent survival Brown Dippers C inclus pallasii T aiwan using mark–resighting data data. probability was negatively...
Abstract To estimate the net effect of climate change on natural populations, we must take into account positive and negative effects temperature oscillations variability. Warming because will likely exceed physiological optima tropical insects, which currently live very close to their thermal optima. Tropical insects be negatively affected if are exceeded otherwise warming may affect them positively. We evaluate demographic responses cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora , summer in subtropical...
