2010, 29(5): 44-51. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0062-7
Abstract:
Nonylphenol (NP) and bisphenol A (BPA) are endocrine disruptors causing harmful effects including feminization and carcinogenesis to various organisms, and consequently, their contamination in natural environment has received wide concerns. This stud...
Depositional environment in the southern Ulleung Basin, East Sea (Sea of Japan), during the last 48 000 years
LIU Yanguang, SHA Longbin, SHI Xuefa, SUK Bong-Chool, LI Chaoxin, WANG Kunshan, LI Xiaoyan
2010, 29(5): 52-64. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0063-6
Abstract:
The present study is based on the sedimentological data from a piston core KCES1 off the southern Ulleung Basin margin, the East Sea (Sea of Japan). The data include sediment color (L*), X-ray radiographs, grain size distribution and AMS14C date. Fou...
Phylogenetic diversity of bacteria associated with the marine sponge Agelas robusta from South China Sea
SUN Wei, DAI Shikun, WANG Guanghua, XIE Lianwu, JIANG Shumei, LI Xiang
2010, 29(5): 65-73. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0064-5
Abstract:
It is well known that marine sponges harbor large numbers of bacteria, some of which have been proved to be sponge-specific. The diversity of bacteria in marine sponges distributed along the coast of South China Sea has been previously studied but th...
