The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Biochemistry of Barnacle Adhesion: An Updated Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Barnacles are notorious marine fouling organisms, whose life cycle initiates with the planktonic larva, followed by the free-swimming cyprid that voluntarily explores, and searches for an appropriate site to settle and metamorphoses into a sessile adult.

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.
