2D to 3D: Exploring Variation of Niche Dimensionality Across Consumers in a Coastal Arctic Ecosystem and Implications on Interpretation [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Each species occupies a distinct ecological niche, defined by a specific set of environmental conditions and resource requirements necessary for its survival and reproduction.

First joint morphological and molecular detection of Watersipora subatra in the Mediterranean Sea presented in an updated genus phylogeny to resolve taxonomic confusion [PDF]

Aquatic Invasions, 2023
Introduced species constitute a critical bio-security issue worldwide and the precise monitoring of their spread is crucial for their management. For species forming cryptic complexes this may remain difficult.

Models of benthic bipedalism

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2021
Walking is a common bipedal and quadrupedal gait and is often associated with terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Inspired by recent evidence of the neural underpinnings of primitive aquatic walking in the little skateLeucoraja erinacea, we introduce a theoretical model of aquatic walking that reveals robust and efficient gaits with modest requirements ...

Population genetic differentiation of the ubiquitous brooding coral Pocillopora acuta along Phuket Island reefs in the Andaman Sea, Thailand

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Background The widespread Indo-Pacific coral species Pocillopora acuta Lamarck, 1816 displays varying levels of asexual versus sexual reproduction, with strong repercussions on genetic diversity, connectivity and genetic structuring within and among ...

Simulated Heatwaves Lead to Upregulated Chemical Defense of a Marine Foundation Macrophyte Against Microbial Colonizers

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Climate change is characterized not only by an increase in mean temperature, but also an increase in the variability around the means causing extreme events like marine heatwaves.

Structural Characterization of Maitotoxins Produced by Toxic Gambierdiscus Species

Marine Drugs, 2022
Identifying compounds responsible for the observed toxicity of the Gambierdiscus species is a critical step to ascertaining whether they contribute to ciguatera poisoning.

Broad Thermal Tolerance in the Cold-Water Coral Lophelia pertusa From Arctic and Boreal Reefs

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Along the Norwegian coasts and margins, extensive reefs of the stony coral Lophelia pertusa act as hotspots for local biodiversity. Climate models project that the temperature of Atlantic deep waters could rise by 1–3°C by 2100.

Artisanal Fisher Association Leaders’ Estimates of Poaching in Their Exclusive Access Management Areas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
In marine environments, poaching can become a key threat to marine ecosystem conservation. Poaching can occur in marine protected areas and/or in fishery management areas.

Chemically Mediated Microbial “Gardening” Capacity of a Seaweed Holobiont Is Dynamic

Microorganisms, 2020
Terrestrial plants are known to “garden” the microbiota of their rhizosphere via released metabolites (that can attract beneficial microbes and deter pathogenic microbes). Such a “gardening” capacity is also known to be dynamic in plants.
