Air temperature is a critical regulator of ecosystem functions, including the release of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) that mediate biosphere‐atmosphere interactions. Among these, sesquiterpenes (SQTs) stand out for their dual role as ecologically significant compounds and highly reactive atmospheric constituents. Despite the inherently complex relationship between temperature and biogenic emissions, global emiss...

Due to the increasing challenge of meeting human demands for metals from land-based resources, interest in extracting mineral ores from the deep sea has gained momentum in recent years. Targeted mining of deep-seabed minerals could have adverse effects on the associated ecosystems, but knowledge on the biological communities found there, their structure and functions is still limited. The focus of this study is to provide an o...

In order to elucidate the distinction of Atyaephyra desmarestii subspecies (A. d. desmarestii, A. d. orientalis, A. d. stankoi and A. d. mesopotamica ) and investigate their geographical distribution in Greece, the main morphological features and somatometric ratios were studied in numerous specimens collected from a dense station network of Greek fresh waters. Specimens from Belgium, Portugal, Albania and Turkey were also exa...
