A pre-zygotic barrier to hybridization in two con-generic species of scleractinian corals [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/1uz]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
Hybridization is often cited as a potential source of evolutionary novelty in the order Scleractinia. While hybrid embryos can be produced in vitro, it has been difficult to identify adult hybrids in the wild.

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.

Longevity of Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks Rhizoprionodon terraenovae and Blacknose Sharks Carcharhinus acronotus in the western North Atlantic Ocean based on tag-recapture data and direct age estimates [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/4fj]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2015
Longevity of Rhizoprionodon terraenovae and Carcharhinus acronotus in the western North Atlantic Ocean was examined using direct age estimates from vertebral sections and tag-recapture data.

Denitrification in freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems: Ecological and geochemical significance [PDF]

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, 1988
Denitrification occurs in essentially all river, lake, and coastal marine ecosystems that have been studied. In general, the range of denitrification rates measured in coastal marine sediments is greater than that measured in lake or river sediments. In various estuarine and coastal marine sediments, rates commonly range between 50 and 250 µmol N m−2 h−

Metabarcoding-based fungal diversity on coarse and fine particulate organic matter in a first-order stream in Nova Scotia, Canada [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2015
Most streams receive substantial inputs of allochthonous organic material in the form of leaves and twigs (CPOM, coarse particulate organic matter). Mechanical and biological processing converts this into fine particulate organic matter (FPOM).

Observations on spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) captured in late spring in a North Carolina estuary [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/4dj]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
Five spiny dogfish were captured in early-mid May during gillnet and longline sampling targeting juvenile coastal sharks in inshore North Carolina waters.  Dogfish captures were made within Back Sound and Core Sound, North Carolina.

Multi-species consumer jams and the fall of guarded corals to crown-of-thorns seastar outbreaks [version 2; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2018
Outbreaks of predatory crown-of-thorns seastars (COTS) can devastate coral reef ecosystems, yet some corals possess mutualistic guardian crabs that defend against COTS attacks.
