Comparative ecology of marine and freshwater phytoplankton1 [PDF]

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, 1988
Examination of models of nutrient‐limited growth and uptake, nutrient patchiness, resource competition, and r‐ and K‐selection with respect to marine and freshwater phytoplankton indicates that organisms from both habitats are ecologically similar. However, there are differences in the physiology and ecology of phytoplankton within a given habitat ...

Ecological commonalities among pelagic fishes: comparison of freshwater ciscoes and marine herring and sprat [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Biology, 2012
Systematic comparisons of the ecology between functionally similar fish species from freshwater and marine aquatic systems are surprisingly rare. Here, we discuss commonalities and differences in evolutionary history, population genetics, reproduction ...

The model marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana likely descended from a freshwater ancestor in the genus Cyclotella [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Publication of the first diatom genome, that of Thalassiosira pseudonana, established it as a model species for experimental and genomic studies of diatoms. Virtually every ensuing study has treated T.

Ecological consequences of invasion across the freshwater–marine transition in a warming world [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
AbstractThe freshwater–marine transition that characterizes an estuarine system can provide multiple entry options for invading species, yet the relative importance of this gradient in determining the functional contribution of invading species has received little attention. The ecological consequences of species invasion are routinely evaluated within

On the methodology of feeding ecology in fish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Feeding ecology explains predator’s preference to some preys over others in their habitat and their competitions thereof. The subject, as a functional and applied biology, is highly neglected, and in case of fish, a uniform and consistent ...

Infochemicals structure marine, terrestrial and freshwater food webs: Implications for ecological informatics

open access: yesEcological Informatics, 2006
Here we consider how information transfer shapes interactions in aquatic and terrestrial food webs. All organisms, whether they are dead or alive, release certain chemicals into their environment. These can be used as infochemicals by any other individual in the food web that has the biological machinery to sense and process such information.

Contribution of anadromous fish to the diet of European catfish in a large river system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Many anadromous fish species, when migrating from the sea to spawn in fresh waters, can potentially be a valuable prey for larger predatory fish, thereby efficiently linking these two ecosystems. Here, we assess the contribution of anadromous fish to the

Comparative ecology of the macrofauna of freshwater and marine muds1 [PDF]

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, 1988
There are many striking similarities between the benthic macrofauna inhabiting marine and lacustrine sediments. Most of the same trophic/functional groups are well represented in both habitats. There is no obvious difference between the types of particulate food sources available for microphagous animals.

Assessing the species composition of tropical eels (Anguillidae) in Aceh Waters, Indonesia, with DNA barcoding gene cox1. [version 1; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the species diversity of eels native to Aceh waters based on genetic data. Sampling was conducted in western coast waters of Aceh Province, Indonesia, from July to August 2016.
