The Manufacture of Rochia nilotica rings: The chaîne opératoire Identified for Lapita Sites in Vanuatu

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rings made on marine shell are a conspicuous artefact form found throughout cultural sequences for much of the Pacific over millennia. Despite their importance in both recent and ancient times, in‐depth consideration of the manufacturing processes involved in shell ring production are limited.

Distinct Host-Specific Bacterial Assemblages in Four Congeneric Pocillopora Corals Reveal a Minimal Core Microbiome and Probiotic Partitioning

Microorganisms
Coral reefs, essential yet increasingly threatened marine ecosystems, rely on coral–microbiome symbioses for resilience against environmental stressors. This study investigates host-specific influences on bacterial communities in four Pocillopora species

The Dynamics of Coral-Algal Interactions in Space and Time on the Southern Great Barrier Reef

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Globally, tropical coral reefs are being degraded by human activities, and as a result, reef-building corals have declined while macroalgae have increased.

A Novel Neutral and Mesophilic β-Glucosidase from Coral Microorganisms for Efficient Preparation of Gentiooligosaccharides

Foods, 2021
β-glucosidases can produce gentiooligosaccharides that are lucrative and promising for the prebiotic and alternative food industries. However, the commercial production of gentiooligosaccharides using β-glucosidase is challenging, as this process is ...

Deforestation and economic growth trends on oceanic islands highlight the need for meso-scale analysis and improved mid-range theory in conservation

Ecology and Society, 2020
Forests both support biodiversity and provide a wide range of benefits to people at multiple scales. Global and national remote sensing analyses of drivers of forest change generally focus on broad-scale influences on area (composition), ignoring ...
