Mining activities have significantly affected the Neotropical freshwater ichthyofauna, the most diverse in the world. However, no study has systematized knowledge on the subject. In this review, we assembled information ...
Characterisation of the effect of a simulated hydrocarbon spill on diazotrophs in mangrove sediment mesocosm
(SPRINGER, 2009)
An analysis of the effect of an oil spill on mangrove sediments was carried out by contamination of mesocosms derived from two different mangroves, one with a history of contamination and one pristine. The association ...
Levels of hydrocarbons and toxicity of water-soluble fractions of maritime fuels on neotropical invertebrates
(Springer, 2021-10-07)
Accidents involving fuels and oil spills are among the main sources of hydrocarbons to the marine ecosystems and often
