There is considerable evidence for endocrine disruption from aquatic ecosystems, but knowledge is lacking with regard to the interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Acoustic telemetry has quickly become a powerful tool for ecological research in aquatic systems, yet our knowledge of in situ transmitter performance remains limited.
It can be shown that the availability of advanced characterization techniques offers the potential for predicting the functionality of aquatic NOM without precise knowledge of the chemical structures present in the macromolecular complex.
For example, students using ecological knowledge explained that aquatic animals belonged in the same group (Halverson et al. 2011).
Our knowledge about how aquatic communities react to, and recover from, pesticides, particularly in relation to their residues, is deficient, despite the importance of such information for realistic environmental impact assessment of pesticides.
In this perspective, we introduce the concept of movement ecology for aquatic-breeding amphibians, summarize our knowledge on amphibian movement, identify critical gaps, and provide a context for how understanding movement will help develop solutions for more effective amphibian conservation.
A comprehensive compilation of current knowledge about infochemicals in aquatic ecosystems was published by Brönmark and Hansson in 2012 [7].
This exercise prompted student recall of their knowledge and awareness of aquatic birds and how those features may be similar or different from the now-extinct Hesperornis and with non-aquatic birds.
To the best of our knowledge, miRNAs encoded by aquatic animal viruses have not been experimentally identified yet.
To our knowledge, direct estimates of aquatic hyphomycete population sizes, census sizes as opposed to relative measures, do not exist in the literature.
