On the Multifunctional Role of the Biota in the Self-Purification of Aquatic Ecosystems
Principles of the theory of the ecological mechanism of water self-purification based on multiple functions of the biota in freshwater and marine ecosystems are formulated. In developing this theory, the resul...- Article
Inhibitory analysis of top-down control: new keys to studying eutrophication, algal blooms, and water self-purification
Top-down control is an important type of interspecies interactions in food webs. It is especially important for aquatic ecosystems. Phytoplankton grazers contribute to the top-down control of phytoplankton pop... - Article
Some aspects of water filtering activity of filter-feeders
On the basis of the previous publications, our new data and the existing scientific literature, we have formulated some fundamental principles that characterize the pivotal roles of the biodiversity of filter-... - Chapter

Inhibition of Mussel Suspension Feeding by Surfactants of Three Classes
Effects of three surfactants on the filtration rates by marine mussels were studied. The xenobiotics tested represented anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, a repre... - Chapter
Suspension-Feeders as Factors Influencing Water Quality in Aquatic Ecosystems
Suspension-feeders are found in both pelagic and benthic systems. They function as an important part of an ecosystem's biomachinery that maintains water quality in aquatic systems. They remove suspended matter... - Article
Studying effects of some surfactants and detergents on filter-feeding bivalves
Effects of several surfactants and chemical mixtures on marine bivalves were studied. An anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), and a cationic surfactant, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA)... - Chapter

On the concepts of biochemical ecology and hydrobiology: Ecological chemomediators
Earlier, the author published two books and some papers, in which he described conceptual foundations of new scientific disciplines — biochemical ecology and biochemical hydrobiology. These trends in research ... - Article
Basics of the molecular-ecological mechanism of water quality formation and water self-purification
The paper formulates some basics of the modern ecological theory of the polyfunctional role of biota in the molecular-ecological mechanism of water quality formation and self-purification of aquatic ecosystems... - Article
The role of biodetritus in accumulation of elements in aquatic ecosystems
Biodetritus that formed over a 7-month period in microcosms with Viviparus viviparus, Unio pictorum, andCeratophyllum demersum contained a number of elements. This is the first study to determine concentrations ... - Article
Polyfunctional role of biodiversity in processes leading to water purification: current conceptualizations and concluding remarks

Problems at the Ecosystem Level
To analyze conservation problems at the ecosystem level it is necessary to investigate inter alia problems of changes in their structure, disturbances of interspecies interactions, breakage of information flow... - Chapter
Problems at the Ontogenetic Level
Next to the molecular and genetic level of the organization of living matter is the ontogenetic one. At this ontogenetic level individual organisms are considered as the units of life. - Article
Effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the growth dynamics and physiological state of the microalga Dunaliella salina (Chlorophyta)
This study deals with the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (0.1, 1, and 10 mg/l) on the growth dynamics and physiological state of the microalga Dunaliella salina Teod. (Chlorophyta). The effects of SDS in... - Article
Contribution of biological processes to self-purification of water with respect to petroleum hydrocarbon associated with No. 0 diesel in Changjiang Estuary and Jiaozhou Bay, China
Mesocosms in 25-m3 ethylene vinyl acetate or 4-m3 polyethylene bags were performed at two sites in China: Changjiang Estuary in spring–summer 1998, and Jiaozhou Bay in autumn 1999 and spring–summer 2000. The expe... - Chapter
Problems at the Species-Population Level
A population is a basic elementary unit at the species-population level. In the sense of evolution genetics, as population is designated a minimum self-propagating group of single-species individual animals wh... - Article
Water Quality of Effluent-dominated Ecosystems: Ecotoxicological, Hydrological, and Management Considerations
In arid and semi-arid regions of the southwestern United States and other parts of the world, flows of historically ephemeral streams are now perennially dominated by municipal and/or industrial effluent disch... - Chapter
Need for Ecologization of Society’s Activities
In the 20th century, industrial production, commodity consumption and other development indices are going up the exponential curve. Neither the Earth’s biosphere, nor economy, nor man as a biological species w...
