Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Modeling Non‐GM Segregation Strategies at the Grain Elevator

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective As new opportunities arise for non‐genetically modified (non‐GM) products in grain markets, segregation becomes crucial but challenging in commodity‐friendly infrastructures such as grain elevators. This study developed probabilistic models using Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate three segregation strategies ...

Predicting Interactions between Common Dolphins and the Pole-and-Line Tuna Fishery in the Azores.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) are responsible for the large majority of interactions with the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores but the underlying drivers remain poorly understood.

Goofy/123Cre lineage tracing differentiates olfactory and vomeronasal neurons from GnRH‐1 and terminal nerve neurons during neuronal migration and reveals additional olfactory placode‐derived cells in the brain

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract The olfactory placode (OP) generates a broad array of chemosensory neurons in the nasal region, including olfactory sensory neurons, vomeronasal sensory neurons, neurons of the septal organ, and Grueneberg ganglion. During invagination, the OP also generates migratory neuronal populations, including gonadotropin‐releasing hormone‐1 (GnRH‐1 ...

Cetacean Strandings along the Bulgarian Coast of the Black Sea in 2010–2022

Oceans
Cetacean strandings are valuable sources of data about their life history, health status, population trends, and impact of threats. We examined the strandings along the Bulgarian coast of the Black Sea for a period of 13 years from 2010 to 2022.

Habitat preferences among three top predators inhabiting a degraded ecosystem, the Black Sea

Scientia Marina, 2017
This study investigated whether there is evidence of widespread niche partitioning based on environmental factors in the Black Sea and tested the hypothesis that physiographic factors may be employed as predictors.

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

Food 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 ...

Conceptualizing the Street‐Level Bureaucrat Construct

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Differences among street‐level bureaucrats—across professions, institutional settings, regions, and countries—are largely overlooked in research. We propose conceptualizing the street‐level bureaucrat construct as a general variable that varies across institutional settings, professions, cultures, times, and locations. We analyze variations in

Parasite (Anisakis spp.) Load and Its Relationship with Diet in Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) Along the Coast of Galicia (NW Spain)

Animals
The common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is one of the most abundant small cetaceans along the Galician coast and a definitive host for the nematode parasite Anisakis, which is transmitted to cetaceans through the food chain.

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...
