Aerobic methane production in marine ecosystems
Abstract Oceans are considered significant methane sources, but the origin of methane in oxic surface seawaters remains unknown. Here, we collected seawater from the Jiulong River Estuary, Taiwan Strait, and Arctic Ocean to explore the potential for aerobic methane production.

Marine epibiosis. III. Possible antifouling defense adaptations in Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard) (Didemnidae, Ascidiacea) [PDF]
Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard), a colonial tunicate of the western Mediterranean, seems to be well-protected against epibiosis. Out of several thousand potential colonizers estimated, only one kamptozoan species, Loxocalyx sp., is found with some ...

Successional changes of epibiont fouling communities of the cultivated kelp Alaria esculenta: predictability and influences [PDF]
There has been an increase in commercial-scale kelp cultivation in Europe, with fouling of cultivated kelp fronds presenting a major challenge to the growth and development of the industry. The presence of epibionts decreases productivity and impacts the
