From Ecological States to Trajectories: Revealing Ecological Dynamics Through Environmental Nucleic Acids

open access: yesBiological Diversity, EarlyView.
Environmental nucleic acids (eNA) observations integrate temporal and ecological information across multiple dimensions of an ecological state. Repeated and complementary observations extend biomonitoring from state assessment toward reconstruction of ecological trajectories, including their direction, rate, pathways, progression, recovery, and ...

Variations in 5S rDNAs in diploid and tetraploid offspring of red crucian carp × common carp

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2017
Background The allotetraploid hybrid fish (4nAT) that was created in a previous study through an intergeneric cross between red crucian carp (Carassius auratus red var., ♀) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., ♂) provided an excellent platform to ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Optimization of Ultrasound-assisted Extraction of Fish Oil from Snakehead Viscera and Its Quality Analysis

open access: yesShipin gongye ke-ji
In this work, the crude fish oil was extracted from snakehead viscera by ultrasound-assisted n-hexane extraction, and the process conditions were optimized through single factor experiments and orthogonal experiments. Then, the physicochemical indexes as

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
