Insights Into the Microbiology of the Chaotropic Brines of Salar de Atacama, Chile

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Microbial life inhabiting hypersaline environments belong to a limited group of extremophile or extremotolerant taxa. Natural or artificial hypersaline environments are not limited to high concentrations of NaCl, and under such conditions, specific ...

Climate‐Driven Mangrove Dieback and Recovery: A Case Study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Insights Into Halophilic Microbial Adaptation: Analysis of Integrons and Associated Genomic Structures and Characterization of a Nitrilase in Hypersaline Environments

, 2021
Hypersaline environments are extreme habitats that can be exploited as biotechnological resources. Here, we characterized a nitrilase (NitraS-ATII) isolated from Atlantis II Deep brine pool.

Active and resting stages of zooplankton and its seasonal evolution in a hypersaline temporary pond of the Mediterranean coast (the Vecchia Salina, SE Italy)

Scientia Marina, 2004
The species composition of zooplankton and its variability were studied with an integrated water-sediment analysis for a period of two years in a hypersaline temporary pond in SE Italy.

Ophiuroids Discovered in the Middle Triassic Hypersaline Environment

PLoS ONE, 2012
Echinoderms have long been considered to be one of the animal phyla that is strictly marine. However, there is growing evidence that some recent species may live in either brackish or hypersaline environments. Surprisingly, discoveries of fossil echinoderms in non-(open)marine paleoenvironments are lacking.

Environmental Contaminant Accumulation in Freshwater Turtles Inhabiting Three Rivers of the Permian Basin, New Mexico, USA

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are valuable sentinels of aquatic systems due to their long lifespans and resilience in environments impacted by contaminants. The Permian Basin, dominated by the oil and gas sector, spans western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, USA, including the Pecos River and its tributaries, the Delaware and Black Rivers.

Halotolerant Bacillus diversity in hypersaline environments

, 1998
A total of 99 Gram-positive aerobic endospore-forming halotolerant rods were isolated from different hypersaline sources in Spain (salterns as well as saline soils).

An integrative taxonomic characterization of extremophile fish Aphanius almiriensis (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes) in a hypersaline geothermal system (NW Anatolia)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The small killifish Aphanius almiriensis (Kottelat, Barbieri & Stoumboudi, 2007) inhabits from brackish springs to estuaries and coastal lagoons in the eastern Mediterranean basin. This study focused on the detailed characterization of Aphanius almiriensis from a hypersaline geothermal spring (Tuzla, Çanakkale, NW Anatolia), where extreme ...

Endocranial anatomy of the earliest Cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...

The effects of bioturbation on porewater chemistry and early marine diagenesis: Evidence from a modern intertidal zone in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early marine carbonate cements generally form in CaCO3‐supersaturated seawater at the seabed or shallow burial depths, resulting in syn‐sedimentary cemented firmgrounds and hardgrounds. The processes controlling early marine diagenesis are complex, particularly in coastal environments where geochemistry is influenced by different water sources
