Ontogenetic and spatial variation in the trophic ecology of the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) in temperate eastern Australia

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) is a fast‐swimming pelagic shark of global ecological and socioeconomic importance, yet it is relatively understudied in temperate eastern Australian waters. This study investigated the trophic ecology of mako sharks using stable isotope analysis (SIA) of nitrogen (δ15N), carbon (δ13C) and sulphur (δ34S ...

Finding the sweet spot: An exploration of environmental factors to optimize Ulva carbohydrate content and composition

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Green macroalgae from the Ulva genus are rich in polysaccharides of interest, including ulvan, starch, and cellulose. However, their content and structure are impacted by environmental factors, which poses challenges for industrial applications, especially in the context of climate change.

Macroalgae respond to consumer‐mediated nutrient cycling in a temperate ecosystem

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Primary production in coastal upwelling regions has often been presumed to be supported primarily by allochthonous nutrients, but inconsistent nutrient delivery and the metabolic cost of nitrate assimilation can leave producers nitrogen limited during the growing season. As a potential supplement for insufficient allochthonous supply, nutrient

Genome‐wide association study of morphometric and metabolic characteristics in European populations of the sugar kelp Saccharina latissima

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a promising candidate for sustainable aquaculture in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, but genetic improvement has been hindered by a limited understanding of the genetic basis of economically important traits.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Biogas from Macroalgae: is it time to revisit the idea?

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2012
The economic and environmental viability of dedicated terrestrial energy crops is in doubt. The production of large scale biomass (macroalgae) for biofuels in the marine environment was first tested in the late 1960’s.

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Synergistic effect of abalone and macroalgae on carbon storage in a co-culture ecosystem

Communications Earth & Environment
Shellfish are vital food sources that fix carbon within the shell and potentially remove marine dissolved carbon dioxide. Bivalves accelerate atmospheric carbon dioxide absorption at low and medium stocking densities, while the role of gastropods fed ...
