However, these ecosystems are under threat from rapidly spreading non-native aquatic plants, climate change, and dam regulation. Northern pike, native predators in the St. Lawrence River, have been forced to spawn in less optimal, deeper nearshore areas due to the invasive hybrid cattail (Typha x glauca) and water level regulation.

Promethium鈥檚 short half-life and lack of stable isotopes makes it difficult to study. In addition, promethium is difficult to separate from other lanthanide elements because of these elements鈥� similarity. In this study, scientists created a pure sample of the isotope promethium-147 and used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to examine the way it chemically bonds.
