Inter-seasonal phytoplankton dynamics in the UAE coastal waters
Phytoplankton are key indicators of marine ecosystem health and drivers of biogeochemical processes, yet their seasonal patterns in the southern Arabian Gulf are insufficiently understood.

Numerical Evidence of Invariance of Turbulence Dissipation Rate in Breaking Waves
Abstract We perform direct numerical simulations to verify the hypothesis of invariance of the turbulence dissipation rate, proposed by Deane, Stokes, and Callaghan (2016, https://doi.org/10.1175/jpo‐d‐14‐0187.1) based on their laboratory breaking wave experiments.

High Grazing Rates on Cryptophyte Algae in Chesapeake Bay
Cryptophyte algae are globally distributed photosynthetic flagellates found in freshwater, estuarine, and neritic ecosystems. While cryptophytes can be highly abundant and are consumed by a wide variety of protistan predators, few studies have sought to ...

ABSTRACT Abalone are economically, ecologically and culturally significant marine molluscs, with both wild and farmed populations under pressure due to intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. Abalone performance and health are centred on a highly specialized digestive system supported by a diverse gut microbiome, which enables nutrient assimilation ...

A schematic outline of chloroplast DNA tethered to two stacked thylakoids that contain the components of photosynthetic electron transport. Green shapes represent proteins encoded in chloroplast DNA; brown shapes represent proteins encoded in the cell nucleus. ABSTRACT A chloroplast is a subcellular organelle of photosynthesis in plant and algal cells.

A review of mechanically stimulated bioluminescence of marine plankton and its applications
Bioluminescence is ubiquitous in marine ecosystems and found in uni- and multicellular organisms. Bioluminescent displays can be used to deter predators, attract mates, and lure and hunt prey.

ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Biennial variations of marine palynomorph concentrations mirrored oceanographic conditions in the Magdalena Basin, Baja California Sur (Mexico), in the period from 1811 to 1907 (common era, CE), for which the sea surface temperature index (SSTI) showed ...
