Discovery: pollutant (surfactant) inhibits water filtration by daphnia (seconds ago)
review/evaluation by Professor_K.:
This is a first paper to report the discovery: chemical pollutant (a surfactant) decreases the water filtration by zooplankton, namely, daphnia. This toxic effect took place at a relatively low concentration of the chemical (a surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate, or SDS). This discovery is in agreement with the previous publications and discoveries of Dr. Sergei O. (Moscow State University). His previous research demonstrated that the same chemical pollutant decreased (inhibited) water filtration by some other water invertebrate animals, namely, bivalve mollusks. The new discovery is important. The new fact demonstrated a new hazard from the chemical pollutants even at their low concentrations.
The new fact confirmed the conclusions of the previous publications of Dr. S. O. The new data added additional evidence on serious environmental hazards from synthetic surfactants. These chemicals pollute water ecosystems.
Conclusion: This paper presented important new facts. These facts are really relevant. The publication is of outstanding interest to many scientists who study ecology, environmental pollution, environmental toxicology, aquatic ecotoxicology. I recommend this excellent article.

Review of the paper:
The role of biodetritus in accumulation of elements in aquatic ecosystems
( the paper under review)
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/225471572
Article
First paper: gold, uranium, other chemical elements in biodetritus
(seconds ago)
review/evaluation by Professor_K.:
This is the first paper to report concentrations of gold, uranium, other valuable chemical elements in biodetritus (i.e., biological detritus) in sediments in aquatic system. The author, a Fulbright Award winner, conducted innovative and unique experiments. For a number of months, he has created a biological detritus in an experimental water ecosystem.
This detritus was generated by both plant and animal aquatic organisms in this water ecosystem. After several months, he collected the detritus and measured the concentrations of a number of chemical elements including gold, uranium and some others (some interesting rare earth elements among them).
As a result, he obtained absolutely new and unique data on the biogeochemical role of biological detritus in aquatic ecosystems.
The chemical elements that were found and measured in the biological detritus were:
Ca, Zn, Ba, Br, Ce, Se, Nd, La, U, Hf, Sb, Th, Sm, S, Cs, Au.
This article is absolutely innovative. I recommend it for reading and citation. It will be very useful to all who study chemical ecology, aquatic ecology, biobeochemistry, sediments in water systems.

New ideas on nature conservation. (seconds ago)
review/evaluation by Professor_K.:
Excellent book. New useful system of facts, ideas on nature conservation. The full and more correct reference is:
Levels of Living Nature Conservation. 1985. Nauka Press. Moscow. 176 p.
DOI: 10.13140/2.1.1679.9366.
The book presented a fresh, unique and innovative approach to analysis of issues of nature conservation. The authors invented a new productive conceptualization of the new science of conservation biology. They proposed and used a very efficient approach. This approach is based on the concept of levels of organization of living systems. As a result, the authors, prominent biologists, transformed a huge mass of facts on anthropogenic effects on nature (man-made impact on living organisms, the biota, the biosphere) into a well-organized system of scientifically treated data.
The book presented also a unique system of axioms of nature conservation.
The book was translated into some other languages.
The citation of this book is excellent.
This unique, innovative book was ahead of its time, it will be useful to many who are involved and interested in nature conservation and environmental protection. It is really very useful and recommended to scientists, professors and students.
The full text of the book is available: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263891524 ;

I would like to give this book my very strong recommendations.
