In this research we developed an experimental assay for the identification of the invasive blue crab and applied it to the detection through targeted eDNA and NGS in marine‐coastal ecosystems of the Adriatic Sea. We demonstrated the feasibility of monitoring this species' presence using eDNA analysis, and our results indicate a genetic homogeneity ...

Salinity Tolerance Thresholds and Acclimation Potential in the Invasive Macrophyte Crassula helmsii
Crassula helmsii tolerates 15 g/L salinity for 21 days without experiencing mortality, and gradual exposure to high salt concentration may increase its salt tolerance. Therefore, shallow ponds that experience salt pulses are particularly vulnerable to this invasive species.

A three-dimensional water quality-macrophyte interaction model for shallow lakes
A dynamic three-dimensional water quality model for macrophyte-dominated shallow lakes was proposed and tested. The proposed model is capable of simulating macrophytes and its interactions with water quality constituents such as dissolved oxygen (DO ...

Estuarine benthic diversity declines with temperature across a tropical–temperate gradient
Estuarine benthic sediments are important habitats that support ecosystem health and productivity, but the drivers of large‐scale patterns in benthic diversity are not well documented. Using 18S amplicon sequencing of 425 sediment DNA samples from estuaries spanning 20° of latitude along Australia's east coast, we assessed tropical–temperate patterns ...

Clonal variation in the thermal response of the submerged aquatic macrophyte Potamogeton pectinatus [PDF]
Broadly distributed plants have to cope with dramatic differences across latitude in the prevailing environmental temperature. We investigated the effect of water temperature on plant morphology, biomass accumulation and oxygen-exchange for five clones ...

In situ degradation of kelp detritus: Implications for coastal carbon cycling
Abstract Marine macroalgae (i.e., seaweeds) are crucial components of coastal carbon cycles and may be important contributors to marine carbon sequestration. Understanding the fate of macroalgal‐derived carbon in marine systems requires an understanding of the degradation dynamics of macroalgae across environmental gradients. Therefore, we conducted an

Utilization of aquatic plants: a method to enhance the productivity of water in seasonal tanks in the Anuradhapura District [PDF]
Heavy infestations of aquatic plants in a water body cause considerable economic and ecological losses. Many seasonal tanks in the Anuradhapura District suffer from this problem and cannot be neglected in water resource development and management schemes.
