Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) gametophytes grow endophytically in red macroalgae: Implications for kelp restoration

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests have declined by 95% in Australia since the 1970s due to climate change. Despite expanding restoration efforts, long‐term recovery is still lacking. Factors influencing recruitment by the microscopic gametophyte phase may represent a key mechanism underpinning the successful recovery and restoration of

Mass Die‐Off Events in Swarming Hyperiid Amphipods: Potential Drivers

Ecology and Evolution
Beach mass stranding events of marine organisms, widely documented worldwide, are triggered by a range of biotic and abiotic environmental factors, often unexplained. Such occurrences among pelagic crustaceans are less frequent, yet not uncommon. Here we

Innervation of an amphipod heart [PDF]

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1954
SummaryIn the heart of Marinogammarus marinus three systems of nerve elements have been found, viz. (1) a local system consisting of a ganglionic trunk situated on the dorsal surface of the heart and sending branches to the muscle fibres, (2) two paired nerves, termed the 1st and 2nd cardiac nerves, connecting the local system with the central nervous ...

Overlooked components of lipid metabolism: Odd‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract This mini‐review examines odd‐carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (odd‐PUFAs), a rare but biologically significant group of fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms. Odd‐PUFAs are straight‐chain fatty acids containing an odd number of carbon atoms and two or more methylene‐interrupted double bonds. They typically account for less than 1% of

Sponge-Associated Amphipod Communities as Bioindicators for Pollution

, 2020
Pollution negatively impacts organisms across all marine ecosystems. Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to pollution due to their proximity to human settlements.

Amphipod susceptibility to metals: Cautionary tales [PDF]

, 2009
Heavy metals accumulated by aquatic crustaceans in environmental studies are normally investigated using the whole body burden, with little regard paid to uptake in different tissues, to potential gender of life stage differences, or to the influence of ...

From darkness to twilight: Morphological divergence between cave and surface‐subterranean ecotone Niphargus species

Ecology and Evolution
Subterranean and surface habitats are in stark contrast in several environmental factors. Therefore, adaptation to the subterranean environment typically impedes the (re)colonisation of surface habitats.

Vicariance and dispersal in the Aegean Archipelago: Molecular phylogeography reveals the origin and divergence times of Hydropsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Divergence times of Greek Hydropsyche lineages fall mostly within the Pliocene‐Pleistocene, rejecting ancient vicariance. Widespread species show shallow divergences consistent with dispersal, while island endemics exhibit deeper isolation patterns supporting a mixed vicariance‐dispersal model.

Maximal Swimming Speed Explains Differences in Habitat Use Among Invasive Ponto‐Caspian Dikerogammarus Species (Crustacea, Amphipoda)

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The three invasive Ponto‐Caspian Dikerogammarus species (D. bispinosus, D. haemobaphes, and D. villosus) show niche differentiation along the current velocity gradient. In the present study, we experimentally measured their maximal swimming speeds to test whether they coincide with their tolerances for currents.
