An environmental biologist investigates the impacts of actions, pollutants, and conditions on wild communities. [He or she] usually [focuses] on ecosystems rather than a particular species. For example, [he or she] may study "indicator species" like worms that live at the bottom of rivers, lakes, and streams to assess overall ecosystem health. 1, record 2, English, - environmental%20biologist

El seminograma básico no es suficiente para un estudio de infertilidad, por lo que en reproducción siempre tiene que complementarse con el denominado recuento de espermatozoides móviles(REM). Esta prueba, muy parecida a la que el biólogo realiza en la "capacitación" del semen para llevar a cabo una inseminación artificial o una fertilización "in vitro", tiene por objeto identificar el número real de espermatozoides que son capaces de poder fecundar un óvulo(una vez desechados los espermatozoides muertos, inmóviles, con morfología anormal o con movilidad alterada). 1, record 3, Spanish, - recuento%20de%20espermatozoides%20m%C3%B3viles
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La capacidad reproductora de los varones españoles ha descendido en más de un 20% en los últimos diez años, debido a la menor movilidad y a un elevado número de malformaciones en los espermatozoides que limitan la penetración en el óvulo. [...] El estudio, que comparó la calidad espermática de cerca de 16.000 muestras de semen recogidas [...] mostró un descenso significativo en el recuento de espermatozoides móviles aptos para la reproducción humana. 2, record 3, Spanish, - recuento%20de%20espermatozoides%20m%C3%B3viles
