Ecosystems and organisms were considered as two types of entities involved in life phenomena at two levels of organization of living systems. The parameters that were considered included: the main functions, the main prerequisites for those functions, discreteness and continuity in space,  discreteness and continuity in time, the boundaries, the ability to control the physical and chemical parameters of the environment, the ability to decrease entropy in energy-dependent way, etc.	Ostroumov S.A.

Hg. The average Hg concentration in the soft tissues of freshwater bivalves Unio pictorum from a river (the Moscow region) was 181.2  ng/g  (dry weight), in the shells  160.0 ng/g.  The concentration  of Hg of the same order of magnitude was found in bivalves from some (but not all) marine ecosystems.

Daphnia were fed with algae Scenedesmus quadricauda. After filtration for 6–24 h in the presence of SDS (5 and 10 mg/l), the abundance of S. quadricauda  cells in water was higher than in the control.
