Abstract Oil spills pose severe threats to marine ecosystems and coastal communities. Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2, a marine bacterium with superior hydrocarbon‐degrading capabilities, emerges as a promising agent for bioremediation. This study identified an economical growth substrate for A.

The presence of dust in quasar absorbers, such as damped Lyman alpha (DLA) systems, may cause the background QSO to appear reddened. We investigate the extent of this potential reddening by comparing the optical-to-infrared (IR) colors of QSOs with and ...

Indonesian inquiry: A narrative of biocultural teaching on Sulawesi Utara
Abstract Using phenomenology, narrative inquiry and autoethnographic approaches, this study analyses a program of faculty development conducted alongside the delivery of an international field school. Through this study, we explore the value and benefits of inter‐cultural field programming and how these might serve to complement or to redress ...

Genetic parallels in biomineralization of the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum and stony corals
The rapid emergence of mineralized structures in diverse animal groups during the late Ediacaran and early Cambrian periods likely resulted from modifications of pre-adapted biomineralization genes inherited from a common ancestor.

The Effects of Anthropogenic Stressors on Reproduction and Recruitment of Corals and Reef Organisms
The persistence of populations of marine organisms depends on the success of the dual processes of reproduction and recruitment. The production of offspring alone is inconsequential unless larvae and propagules can recruit, which often entails a period ...

ATP Supply May Contribute to Light-Enhanced Calcification in Corals More Than Abiotic Mechanisms
Zooxanthellate corals are known to increase calcification rates when exposed to light, a phenomenon called light-enhanced calcification that is believed to be mediated by symbionts' photosynthetic activity.
