Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Bryozoan‐Rich Carbonate Units of the Erfoud Area (SE Morocco) Record Latest Katian to Early Hirnantian Interglacial Intervals

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we re‐examine the depositional architecture of the Erfoud limestone in Morocco. Introducing new biostratigraphic constraints from chitinozoan assemblages, we show that Katian to Hirnantian bryozoan‐pelmatozoan meadows reflect flooding events linked to a series of interglacial transgressions known to have occurred immediately prior to the

Mercury cycling during the last glacial period in Arctic Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Russia

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tectonic processes play a key role in the global mercury (Hg) cycle on geological timescales, by mobilising Hg from deep Earth reservoirs to the surface. These natural fluxes also introduce a dynamic component to the terrestrial Hg cycle that can interact with other environmental signals and influence Hg delivery to sedimentary records.

Carbon isotope geochemistry of organic matter in volcanic paleosols constrains paleo‐environmental variations

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Fiorano quarry paleosol developed within the Colli Albani volcanic district (Italy) in the time interval bracketed by the deposition of the Pozzolanelle pyroclastic‐flow unit (365 ± 4 ka) and the emplacement of the Capo di Bove lava flow (277 ± 2 ka).

Effects of interactions among primary and secondary foundation species on biodiversity and associated community structure

open access: yesEcosphere
A key foundation species, red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), and secondary foundation species (oysters, sponges, and barnacles) that reside on mangrove prop roots are abundant along the coastline in subtropical Florida.

Benthic microbial communities of coastal terrestrial and ice shelf Antarctic meltwater ponds

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The numerous perennial meltwater ponds distributed throughout Antarctica represent diverse and productive ecosystems central to the ecological functioning of the surrounding ultra oligotrophic environment.

Paleogene benthic foraminifer biostratigraphy and paleoecology at Site 647, Southern Labrador Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Benthic foraminifers were examined from the Paleogene of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 647 and Deep Sea Drilling Program (DSDP) Site 112 in the southern Labrador Sea.

Warming modifies trophic impacts of invading shrimp with impact varying among primary producers

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Environmental change drivers, such as climate change and species invasions, can disrupt biological networks and weaken ecosystem stability. Acting together, these drivers may interact and alter the effects on the ecosystem. However, few studies have examined the interactive effects of climate change and species invasions, particularly in aquatic ...

River influence on mercury bioaccumulation in the coastal food web of Eeyou Istchee, James Bay, Canada

open access: yesFACETS
Spatial patterns of bioaccumulated mercury were evaluated in coastal marine food webs of east Hudson Bay and east James Bay in the boreal subarctic of Canada. Two marine species, blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and common eider ducks (Somateria mollissima)
