Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

EFFECT OF GRAPHENE COATINGS AND WATER TEMPERATURE ON MARINE BIOFOULING SYSTEMS

, 2022
This work investigated two strategies for controlling marine biofouling. One method involved the use of graphene-enhanced coatings to mitigate biofilm growth. The second study assessed the influence of water temperature on biofouling.

Metagenomic Resolution of Functional Diversity in Copper Surface-Associated Marine Biofilms

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
We used metagenomic sequencing combined with morphological and chemical analyses to investigate microbial taxa and functions related to copper-resistance and microbiologically influenced corrosion in mature copper-associated biofilms in coastal seawater ...

From distant shores to an emerging island: the role of surface and subsurface transport in modeling seed dispersal

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Bryozoa, Cheilostomata: first records of two invasive species in Australia and the northerly range extension for a third [PDF]

Check List, 2012
Biofouling of international marine vessels is one of the most important mechanisms for the transfer of non-native-invasive species around the world. Bryozoan species are some of the commonest of these marine biofouling organisms found worldwide.

Phase‐Change‐Activated Slippery Organogel Composite for All‐in‐One Anti‐Corrosion, Antifouling, and Self‐Cleaning

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A super‐slippery liquid‐infused composite organogel is engineered by localized interfacial grafting between hydrogel and oleogel networks, endowing the coating with a durable, multifunctional marine‐protective interface. Dynamic antifouling surfaces have emerged as a promising alternative, offering the potential for eco‐friendly and high‐performance ...

Optimization of plastic polymers for shellfish aquaculture infrastructures: in situ antifouling performance assessment

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Biofouling poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture affecting both the target culture and/or the immersed infrastructure. In suspended bivalve cultures (e.g., oysters and scallops), biofouling accumulation leads to additional labor demands ...
