Sedimentary ancient DNA and HBI biomarkers as sea‐ice indicators: A complementary approach in Antarctic fjord environments

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 785-795, December 2024.
Abstract Reliable high‐resolution, pre‐observational‐period sea‐ice datasets are rare but critical for contextualizing recent sea‐ice declines and future scenarios. We combine sedimentary ancient DNA of the sea‐ice dinoflagellate Polarella glacialis (Pgla‐sedaDNA) with selected highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) biomarkers alongside other indicators to ...

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF A POPULATION OF Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) KUNTZE IN A FLOODPLAIN FOREST OF THE AMAZON ESTUARY1

open access: yesRevista Árvore, 2018
We analyzed the spatial distribution pattern of Pentaclethra macroloba to assist in the development of management plans and conservation of this species in estuarine floodplain forests. The study was conducted in an area of floodplain forest of 55.94 ha,

Prey specificity of predatory venoms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.

Root foraging strategies and niche segregation of three mediterranean shrub species

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.
Shrubs are usually adapted to stressful environments in which soil resources are limited, and thus, roots are fundamental for their biological success. However, root measures are challenging to collect, especially in field conditions and at the individual level.

Fish species ecology in spanish freshwater ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The life strategies of the Iberian ichthyofauna, poor in species and with a high number of endemisms, are the result of the functioning of the aquatic systems (streams and reservoirs).

Feeding habits of Thoracocharax stellatus (Characiformes: Gasteropelecidae) in the upper rio Tocantins, Brazil

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology
The silver hatchetfish Thoracocharax stellatus is one of the approximately 200 fish species recorded for the upper rio Tocantins, in the region where it was impounded by the Serra da Mesa hydroelectric dam.

Feasting in mussel farms fattens up snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) compared to snapper in adjacent natural habitats

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract The presence of wild fish in and around aquaculture habitats is often assumed a response to food resources within these habitats, either from input feed, the presence of cultured species, and/or the assemblage of biofouling that naturally colonises aquaculture structures.

Baseline for ostracod-based northwestern Pacific and Indo-Pacific shallow-marine paleoenvironmental reconstructions: ecological modeling of species distributions [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2019
Fossil ostracods have been widely used for Quaternary paleoenvironmental reconstructions, especially in marginal marine environments (e.g., for water depth, temperature, salinity, oxygen levels, pollution).

Phylogeography and climate shape the quantitative genetic landscape and range‐wide plasticity of a prevalent conifer

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 94, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract The contribution of genetic adaptation and plasticity to intraspecific phenotypic variability remains insufficiently studied in long‐lived plants, as well as the relevance of neutral versus adaptive processes determining such divergence. We examined the importance of phylogeographic structure and climate in modulating genetic and plastic ...
