Exploitation, secondary extinction and the altered trophic structure of Jamaican coral reefs [PDF]
Coral reef communities of the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean have a long history of anthropogenic disturbance, driven by the exploitation for food of both vertebrate and invertebrate species.

Horizontal gene transfer contributes to plant evolution : the case of Agrobacterium T-DNAs [PDF]
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can be defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism without being its offspring. HGT is common in the microbial world including archaea and bacteria, where HGT mechanisms are widely understood and ...

Abstract Predicting the effect of increased thermal unpredictability, for example in the shape of heatwaves on phytoplankton metabolic responses is ripe with challenges. While single genotypes in laboratory environments will respond to environmental fluctuations in predictable and repeatable ways, it is difficult to relate rapid evolutionary responses ...

The concept of chromists, at its most expansive, includes the heterokonts (stramenopiles), alveolates, rhizarians, heliozoans, telonemians, haptophytes and cryptophytes. There is mounting evidence that this grouping is not valid.

Abstract Climate change increases the magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events. This includes severe summer storms altering lake physical structure, biodiversity and ecosystem processes. However, insights into lake responses to extreme storms and the underlying mechanisms primarily rest on unreplicated and observational case studies, without ...

Abstract Estuaries are critical for land‐ocean carbon exchange, but coupling mechanisms between air–sea CO2 fluxes (FCO2) and phytoplankton gross primary productivity (GPP) remain poorly understood. This study used high‐frequency underway monitoring in the Lingdingyang Estuary to resolve spatiotemporal interplays between FCO2 and GPP.

Pelagic metabolism of the Douro estuary (Portugal) - Factors controlling primary production [PDF]
The pelagic metabolism of the Douro estuary (Portugal) and the factors influencing primary production (PP) and community respiration (CR) in this system were studied during an annual cycle (December 2002 - December 2003). Sampling surveys were conducted

The seasonal cycle of ocean-atmosphere CO2 Flux in Ryder Bay, West Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]
Approximately 15 million km2 of the Southern Ocean is seasonally ice covered, yet the processes affecting carbon cycling and gas exchange in this climatically important region remain inadequately understood.

Sulfur-Oxidizing Symbionts without Canonical Genes for Autotrophic CO2 Fixation [PDF]
Many animals and protists depend on symbiotic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria as their main food source. These bacteria use energy from oxidizing inorganic sulfur compounds to make biomass autotrophically from CO2, serving as primary producers for their hosts.
