Thermal elevation and residual chlorine pollution are two anthropogenic stressors that co-occur in estuarine waters affected by coastal power plant effluents. A 30-day exposure experiment was established with six treatment combinations comprising three temperatures (27 °C, 28 °C, and 30 °C) and two residual chlorine concentrations (0 mg/L and 0.02 mg/L) on Meretrix meretrix. Sampling was conducted on days 0, 10, 20 and 30 of t...

The plateau pika, a keystone species of the Tibetan Plateau, is also widely poisoned as an agricultural pest. An intriguing observation is that pika are more abundant where their main competitor (domestic yak) is also most abundant. A recent study showed that this may be because pika supplement their diet in winter by consuming yak feces. Here we used quantitative fatty acid signatures analysis to explore pika diet and detect...
