Microbial communities and functional diversity in seafood

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional diversity encompasses ecosystem processes that enhance adaptability to environmental change. This study explores the diversity of microorganisms associated with seafood. In this paper, we present our knowledge of microbial diversity in relation to seafood.

Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...

Land use and land cover changes and spatiotemporal dynamics of anopheline larval habitats during a four-year period in a highland community of Africa [PDF]

, 2009
Spatial and temporal variations in the distribution of anopheline larval habitats and land use and land cover (LULC) changes can influence malaria transmission intensity.

Aquatic Diversity and Fishing Practices at Tell Tayinat (Türkiye) in the Iron Age

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While agrarian societies of the Iron Age Eastern Mediterranean relied predominantly on crops and herding of domestic stock for subsistence, local wild aquatic fauna offered a welcomed enrichment, and when opportunities occurred, it could have been a staple in the human diet.

Persistence of an Endangered Amphibian in a Fully Anthropogenic Forested Pondscape

Ecology and Evolution
Anthropogenic habitats can play a pivotal role in species persistence within human‐modified landscapes. We examined aquatic habitat use by Bombina variegata, an endangered amphibian that relies entirely on a dense network of 157 human‐made temporary ...

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

Oikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Ranavirus risk depends on host community characteristics more than the presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Oikos, EarlyView.
Novel parasite introductions are threatening wildlife communities globally. The degree of threat depends on the ecological context, namely host community characteristics and the presence of other parasites. How these two factors interact to shape the outcomes of parasite introductions is not known. We experimentally investigated how infection following

Trait‐mediated thermal responses and multi‐axis spatiotemporal niche partitioning between coexisting top predators in ponds

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how physiological constraints scale up to realized niche differences remains a central challenge in functional ecology. Temperature strongly influences metabolic performance, activity, and habitat selection in ectotherms, yet few field studies quantify how thermal responses interact with diel and habitat structure to shape predator ...

Mass larval rearing technology of marine finfish in Japan [PDF]

, 1996
With economic development and increased demand for high price fish, industrial scale marine finfish culture in Japan was started in 1960-1965 for yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata. Sustainable supply of wild juvenile and development of floating cage with

SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, restores pyrethroid efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetle but negatively impacts its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.
