Ichthyocotylurus erraticus Rudolphi 1809 infecting the heart of the whitefish Coregonus lavaretus Linnaeus 1758 in Lake Sevan, Armenia

Abstract Metacercariae of Ichthyocotylurus erraticus Rudolphi 1809 have historically shown high prevalence and infection intensities in Sevan whitefish Coregonus lavaretus Linnaeus 1758. However, recent data on parasite infection levels in this introduced fish species in Lake Sev...

Groundwater connectivity driven watershed boundary evolution leads to lake shrinkage in the Inner Mongolia Plateau

While extensive research has explored the responses of lakes to climate change and human activities, the process of watershed evolution driven by altered hydrological connectivity, and the mechanisms by which it drives lake shrinkage, remain poorly understood. We reconstructed gr...

Experimental study on the evolution of mesoscopic structure and macroscopic mechanical properties of typical karst fillings soil under dry-wet cycles

Jinan in Shandong Province is a typical karst development zone in northern China. When buildings are constructed above filled karst caves, the water environment of the karst fillings may be altered, and their mechanical properties gradually deteriorate under alternating dry-wet c...

Bibliometric analysis of groundwater remediation research in China and the United States: a comparative insight

The United States and China were the two most productive countries in global groundwater pollution remediation research, having accumulated substantial findings and practical experience through sustained funding and long-term scientific investment. However, a comprehensive compar...

Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Variations in Fish Diversity Across the Yangtze River Basin and the Effects of the Three Gorges Dam

It is imperative that freshwater fish biodiversity research incorporates diverse components, encompassing taxonomy, phylogeny and function, alongside multifaceted facets, including richness, divergence and regularity. This comprehensive approach is essential to facilitate a more...

The Influence of Immersion Duration on Erosion Differentiation Along Riverbanks in the Middle Yangtze River

ABSTRACT The middle reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the Jiujiang region with unconsolidated soil, suffer frequent erosion‐induced collapses, yet the mechanism by which immersion duration regulates soil properties and drives differential erosion remains unclear. To addres...

Seasonal variations of soil water vapor distribution transport and phase transition in the loess unsaturated zone from fixed volume monitoring

Abstract Water vapor is a crucial yet often overlooked water resource in the soil’s unsaturated zone of arid and semi-arid regions. Understanding water vapor behavior in the soil’s unsaturated zone is crucial for research on soil and energy balance, vegetation water stress, and w...
