Studies of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) and near-ridge seamounts have shown large sub-ridge mantle compositional heterogeneity on various scales. Their origin has been highly debated, with interpretations including source region addition of recy...
01 26, 2022Tintinnids (Ciliophora: Spirotrichea: Choreotrichia) are planktonic ciliates with loricae around their body. They play an important role in material circulation and energy flow from the microbial food web to traditional food chain. Because of thei...
01 25, 2022Iron concentration limits the growth of phytoplankton in extensive high nutrient low chlorophyll (HNLC) regions of the ocean, even though it is very abundant on land. Accordingly, a proposal was raised to mitigate increasing atmospheric CO2 and "c...
01 25, 2022The increasingly serious global environmental pollution has brought serious problems to the cultural development of human society. Up to now, a large number of photocatalysts have been studied in terms of environmental pollution and bacterial infe...
01 24, 2022Planktonic ciliates consist of tintinnid and aloricate ciliates, which taxonomically belong to Oligotrichia and Choreotrichia (phylum Ciliophora, class Spirotrichea). Ciliates, especially tintinnids, grow rapidly, sensitive to environmental chang...
01 21, 2022Temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) are two important aquatic ecological factors. When the water temperature increased, the solubility of oxygen decreased. Heat commonly accompanied hypoxia. Heat and hypoxia stresses could affect a series of phy...
