Connectivity and biological valuation : tools to assess the ecological coherence of networks of marine protected areas Universiteit Gent
The use of multiple biological traits in marine community ecology and its potential in ecological indicator development Universiteit Antwerpen
Biological traits offer valuable approaches to understand species distributions and underlying mechanisms. Their use has received a growing interest in marine community ecology, for both fundamental and applied purposes. The need of ecological indicators as part of marine directives and conservation programmes has promoted the use of multiple traits for indicator development, but in a questionable context regarding the state of fundamental ...
Perfluoroalkyl acids and sulfonamides and dietary, biological and ecological associations in peregrine falcons from the Laurentian Great Lakes Basin, Canada Universiteit Antwerpen
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large, diverse group of chemicals and several perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are known environmental contaminants. Wildlife exposure to PFAAs and precursors has been shown, but less is known regarding replacements such as shorter-chain PFAS. In the present study, exposure to a suite of PFAAs and associations with dietary, biological and ecological factors were investigated in populations of a sentinel apex ...
Biological and ecological traits of marine species Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
This paper reviews the utility and availability of biological and ecological traits for marine species so as to prioritise the development of a world database on marine species traits. In addition, the status of species for conservation, that is, whether they are introduced or invasive, of fishery or aquaculture interest, harmful, or used as an ecological indicator, were reviewed because these attributes are of particular interest to society. ...
Economical and ecological optimization of renewable energy solutions for thermal demands of livestock farms Universiteit Gent
Economical and ecological removal and/or recuperation of organic matter and ammonium from landfill leachate: a full scale case study of Flemish landfills Universiteit Gent
Historical, geological and ecological aspects of transmission of intestinal schistosomiasis in Maniema, Kivu Province, Zaïre Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
CO2 sequestration by the ocean via the biological pump: is man's interference ecologically warranted and economically senseful? Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Air-sea exchange of heat and greenhouse gases including CO2 are determining factors setting the climate on earth. The mechanisms controlling these exchanges need to be well understood for proper reconstruction of past climate change and for establishing realistic prognoses of climate change in the future. In what follows we will focus on carbon biogeochemistry in the ocean and on the sequestration capacity of the ocean for CO2, as controlled ...
A comprehensive evaluation of sulfur isotopic analysis (δ34S and δ33S) using multi-collector ICP-MS with characterization of reference materials of geological and biological origin Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Sulfur isotope ratios are often used as biogeochemical tracers to gain understanding of abiotic and biological processes involved in the sulfur cycle in both modern and ancient environments. There is however a lack of matrix-matched well-characterized isotopic reference materials that are essential for controlling the accuracy and precision. This study therefore focused on expanding and complementing the currently available sulfur isotope ratio ...
