Nitrate, water temperature, conductivity, and transparency drive littoral phytoplankton species composition and biovolume in two reservoirs in the Xingu river

Water Biology and Security
Ecological interactions in the littoral zone maintain water quality, biodiversity, and ecological services in freshwater ecosystems. Phytoplankton occupy a central position in the ecosystem due to their sensitivity to environmental changes and ecological

Synthetic pelagic biomass size spectra of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic

Ecosphere
Synthetic normalized biomass size spectra (NBSS) comprising non‐synoptically sampled phytoplankton, meso‐ and macrozooplankton, and micronekton including mesopelagic fishes were explored to analyze pelagic community structure in seven regions of the ...

Lack of correlation between in vitro and within patient measures of P. aeruginosa biofilms in cystic fibrosis

Heliyon
Current in vitro biofilm modelling of the opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) is limited in its ability to mimic the complexities of the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung environment.

Study on primary production with emphasis on phytoplankton biovolume and chlorophyll-a in the southern Caspian Sea-Goharbaran region

‬‭Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2017
Phytoplankton biovolume and concentration of chlorophyll a are of major concerns in estimating the primary production in aquatic ecosystems. The objective of the present study was to estimate the concentration of chlorophyll a and its relation to ...

Isolation, Screening and Identification of Diatoms from Kermanshah Oil Refinery Wastewater Treatment Systems

Biological Journal of Microorganism, 2014
Introduction: There are many oil refineries in Iran, so waste water should be treated. Algal remediation is one of the best methods. The class of Bacillariophyta (diatoms) has distinct ecological preferences and tolerances, making them useful indicators ...

Polyp size predicts metabolic rates across diverse tropical coral species

Communications Biology
Body size is a fundamental driver of metabolism, yet it remains unclear whether colonial organisms such as corals conform to the universal ¾-power scaling law. As climate change accelerates metabolic demands, characterizing these scaling relationships is
