Using environmental DNA to detect Microseira wollei (Oscillatoriales), a benthic harmful algal bloom, in Lake St. Clair (Michigan, USA)

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Microseira wollei is a benthic cyanobacterium that can cause harmful algal blooms (HABs) and often requires management. However, a pervasive challenge for M. wollei management is characterizing the spatial and temporal extent of an impacted area, which can be time and resource intensive.

Lessons learned from mesocosm experiments with curcumin: Pilot studies of a harmful algal bloom mitigation technique

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Curcumin, a natural plant product derived from Curcuma longa, was assessed as a mitigation technique against the toxic bloom‐forming dinoflagellate Karenia brevis in two mesocosm experiments taking place in 2022 and 2024. In these experiments, curcumin was applied at a dosage of 5 mg L−1 to K.

The need for advancing algal bloom forecasting using remote sensing and modeling: Progress and future directions

Ecological Indicators
Algal blooms are often major drivers of environmental and economic challenges. As these blooms increase in frequency and size, there is an increasing need for forecasting models to accurately predict their occurrence and progression.

Selective algicidal action of peptides against harmful algal bloom species.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Recently, harmful algal bloom (HAB), also termed "red tide", has been recognized as a serious problem in marine environments according to climate changes worldwide. Many novel materials or methods to prevent HAB have not yet been employed except for clay

Investigation of Growth, Lipid Productivity, and Fatty Acid Profiles in Marine Bloom-Forming Dinoflagellates as Potential Feedstock for Biodiesel

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Microalgae-based biodiesel is increasingly recognized as an alternative to crop-based biodiesel. In this study, 10 local strains of dinoflagellates collected from Hong Kong waters, including a monoculture and field sample of Scrippsiella sp.

Genome evolution and host‐microbiome shifts correspond with intraspecific niche divergence within harmful algal bloom‐forming Microcystis aeruginosa

Molecular Ecology, 2019
Intraspecific niche divergence is an important driver of species range, population abundance and impacts on ecosystem functions. Genetic changes are the primary focus when studying intraspecific divergence; however, the role of ecological interactions ...

Quantifying the contribution of community trait mean and diversity to ecosystem functioning

Oikos, EarlyView.
Hundreds of experiments conducted over the last decades demonstrate a positive relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functions. Following good experimental practice, most of these studies have manipulated species richness artificially by assembling communities randomly. Yet, natural communities along ecological gradients often show niche‐

Will biodiversity actions yield healthy places? A systematic review of human health outcomes associated with biodiversity‐focused urban greening

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There is growing interest in using urban greening projects to support biodiversity. While there are many potential co‐benefits, the health outcomes resulting from biodiversity‐supporting activities have yet to be synthesized. We conducted a systematic review of health outcomes associated with seven biodiversity‐supporting elements, including ...
