Herbivore regulation of plant abundance in aquatic ecosystems. [PDF]
Herbivory is a fundamental process that controls primary producer abundance and regulates energy and nutrient flows to higher trophic levels. Despite the recent proliferation of small-scale studies on herbivore effects on aquatic plants, there remains ...

Reduced sediment accumulation rate enhances early marine diagenesis of periplatform sediments
The influence of reduced sediment accumulation rate on early marine burial diagenesis was investigated in sediments collected by ODP Leg 133. Results show that low sediment accumulation rates can produce substantial and asynchronous shifts in stable carbon isotope ratios across a slope transect without the development of sedimentological indicators of ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Calcium-induced asymmetrical beating of triton-demembranated sea urchin sperm flagella [PDF]
Asymmetrical bending waves can be obtained by reactivating demembranated sea urchin spermatozoa at high Ca2+ concentrations. Moving-film flash photography shows that asymmetrical flagellar bending waves are associated with premature termination of the ...

Ecosystem Impacts of the Landing Obligation for Unwanted Catch in Thermaikos Gulf (Greece)
ABSTRACT Discards by marine commercial fisheries have been an issue of major concern to the scientific community in recent years. We modeled the ecological and trophic consequences of a mandatory landing obligation (LO) regulated by the reformed Common Fisheries Policy [Regulation (EU) 1380/2013] on the Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem (northwestern Aegean ...

ABSTRACT The American Lobster (Homarus americanus) is the target of an extensive fishery in the Northwest Atlantic, yet there is no systematic method for evaluating relative performance of baits for the fishery. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to assess lobster attraction to commercial baits versus natural prey.

The Axial Organ and the Pharynx Are Sites of Hematopoiesis in the Sea Urchin
Background: The location of coelomocyte proliferation in adult sea urchins is unknown and speculations since the early 1800s have been based on microanatomy and tracer uptake studies.

Marine Flora and Fauna of the Northeastern United States Echinodermata: Crinoidea [PDF]
The crinoid fauna of the continental margin (0-1500 m) of northeastern North America (Georgia to Canada) includes 14 species in 13 genera and 5 families. We introduce the external morphology and natural history of crinoids and include a glossary of terms,
