—
in EcologySingle-cell flow cytometry analysis of silver nanoparticle toxicity effects on natural phytoplankton assemblages from contrasting trophic lake environments.
Forest degradation reduces scavenger diversity but not carrion removal
—
in EcologyForest degradation alters vertebrate scavenger assemblages in neotropical dry forests, replacing specialized species with generalists like the Sechuran fox, reducing biodiversity while maintaining.
