The Pearson correlations between biochemical traits of Phragmites australis. The colors in the heatmap (a) denote the correlation r. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.

📖 Intraspecific elementome variation of the clonal grass #PhragmitesAustralis reflects environmental variation more than genetic and epigenetic variation.

Urban aquatic species adapt to environmental stress in human-altered habitats • Muser Press Urban environments present unique challenges for wildlife, yet some species appear to thrive under these conditions.

Aquatic species in urban waters show greater resilience to environmental stress, a new study finds. While this adaptation may aid conservation, it also raises concerns about invasive species. Ecology Letters. DOI: doi.org/10.1111/ele....
