‘It's not much, but it's honest work’: The status of environmental DNA analyses of fish biodiversity in southern Africa

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) biodiversity surveys have the power to transform the detection of species in natural environments, which is crucial for the conservation and management of freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Globally, eDNA‐based analyses have increased significantly, with fishes being the most widely studied aquatic ...

Resource use by threatened, native Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the presence of two non‐native salmonids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction of non‐native species contributes to the global decline of freshwater fishes by disrupting the diet and resources of native species through competition. Despite the potential for non‐native trout (Family: Salmonidae) to compete with native trout, non‐native trout species have been widely introduced worldwide to support ...

Food selectivity and grazing responses of the Lawnmower Blenny (Salarias fasciatus) to nutrient enrichment and ammonia exposure

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nutrient enrichment can alter the nutritional quality of the epilithic algal matrix (EAM) and modify the feeding environment of herbivorous and detritivorous reef fishes. However, wastewater inputs can also elevate ammonia concentrations, which may disrupt fish physiological processes, yet the effects of ammonia exposure on grazing activity ...

Euglena sp. and its associated prokaryotic community degrade light crude oil

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Oil enters the environment through natural and anthropogenic sources and poses a serious threat to water and soil. We hypothesized that algae and their associated prokaryotic communities from natural oil seeps are robust systems capable of surviving and degrading anthropogenic oil spills. We isolated Euglena sp.

Earlier spring may explain dominance of the slow‐growing dinoflagellate Naiadinium polonicum over the cyanobacterium Microcystis during a heatwave

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global warming and extreme weather events have been linked to a rise in cyanobacterial blooms, which threaten water quality and ecosystem services. However, during an extreme hot and dry summer, Microcystis was outcompeted by a dinoflagellate, Naiadinium polonicum, in a drinking water lake in southern Sweden.

Extending the limits of algal growth and stress resilience – the desert alga Chlorella ohadii as an emerging model

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Multiple facets of Chlorella ohadii biological properties and potential as a research model and biotechnology platform. Summary Since its isolation from the sand dunes of the Negev Desert over a decade ago, the unicellular green alga Chlorella ohadii has turned into a reference organism for studying photosynthesis, metabolism, and abiotic stress ...

Photoprotective potential of gadusol against ultraviolet B radiation in melanocytes

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Gadusol protects melanocytes from ultraviolet B (UVB)‐induced damage without cytotoxicity. Abstract The increasing incidence of skin cancer, including melanoma, combined with the need for ultraviolet (UV) filters that are safe for human health and marine ecosystems, is driving the search for new photoprotective agents.

Gaining ground: survival of native estuarine fauna exposed to recycled glass sand, a potential material for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The aim of this research is to develop an understanding of the potential for using recycled glass sand as a resource for restoring Louisiana's coastline by testing the effects of exposure of native estuarine fauna to recycled glass sand and other sand treatments in a laboratory environment.
