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.

Marine biofouling resistance rating using image analysis
Journal of Coatings Technology and Research, 2022 Biofouling on ship hulls can cause increased fuel consumption and the global spread of nonindigenous species. The shipping industry utilizes fouling control coatings (FCC) to prevent biofouling from occurring on the ship hull. The evaluation standards for the performance of FCC are based on manual inspections, which unavoidably induce some degree of ...
