Suspect screening and prioritization of chemicals of concern (COCs) in a forest-water reuse system watershed
Science of The Total Environment, 694, 133378.
author keywords: HRMS; Suspect screening; Wastewater; Forest; Exposome
TL;DR:
Assessing chemical features in ground- and surface waters from a watershed where secondary-treated wastewater is irrigated onto 900 ha of temperate forest offers a more holistic view of chemicals that contribute to the exposome, suggesting that though wastewater may be a source of chemicals to ground and surface Waters on-site, dissipation of wastewater-derived features likely occurs with limited off-site surface water export by the forested land treatment system.

Quantifying shape and ecology in avian pedal claws: the relationship between the bony core and keratinous sheath
Ecology and Evolution.
author keywords: claw; individual variation; morphometrics; phylogenetic comparative methods
TL;DR:
The bony claw core and keratinous sheath are significantly correlated, and the degree of functional integration does not differ across ecological groups; however, some separation between ecological groups is evident and a gradual shift from the claw shape of ground‐dwelling birds to those of predatory birds is evident.
