Consistency of Targeted Metatranscriptomics and Morphological Characterization of Phytoplankton Communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The composition of phytoplankton community is the basis for environmental monitoring and assessment of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems. Community composition studies of phytoplankton have been based on time-consuming and expertise-demanding light microscopy analyses.

Physical constraints on phytoplankton in estuaries and shallow coastal waters

, 1998
Highly dynamic aquatic systems have often been reported to support actively growing populations of phytoplankton. The partially-mixed, macrotidal, temperate estuary Southampton Water is no exception, with reports of frequent temporal patterns of spring ...

Phytoplankton community structure and water quality assessment in Xuanwu Lake, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Phytoplankton community structure influences the water quality of freshwater lakes and attracts the attention worldwide. The physicochemical parameters including dissolved oxygen (DO), total nitrogen, total phosphorus, NH4+-N and CODMn and biological ...

Valuing local water quality in Ontario using revealed preference data

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract Improving water quality is an important goal for policymakers, yet understanding the economic benefits people receive from changes in water quality is challenging because many of the benefits are non‐market in nature. We use spatially explicit lake Secchi disk depth measures and information on over 320,000 property sales to provide the most ...

Mesoscale Oceanographic Processes Drive the Seasonal Abundance of the Seabob Shrimp Xiphopenaeus spp. on the Eastern Brazilian Shelf

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seabob shrimp (Xiphopenaeus spp.) is a primary fishery resource in Brazil, with considerable economic and social importance along the coast. While environmental drivers of its life cycle are well‐documented for southeastern and southern populations, the factors modulating populations in the Eastern Brazilian Shelf remain poorly understood,

Biodiversity Increases the Productivity and Stability of Phytoplankton Communities

PLoS ONE, 2012
Global biodiversity losses provide an immediate impetus to elucidate the relationships between biodiversity, productivity and stability. In this study, we quantified the effects of species richness and species combination on the productivity and stability of phytoplankton communities subject to predation by a single rotifer species.

Contrasting Food Web Dynamics Across Oceanographic Boundaries in Subarctic Pelagic Ecosystems

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the structure of pelagic food webs across multiple trophic levels is critical for elucidating species interactions, energy flow, and anthropogenic impacts on production. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the eastern North Pacific pelagic food webs, focusing on the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) during late winter of 2019.

Weathering the Storm: Effects of a Hurricane‐Induced Thermal Disturbance on a Juvenile Atlantic Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) Hotspot in Nova Scotia, Canada

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic Halibut has recently become the most valuable groundfish in Atlantic Canada following population recovery, and the benthic habitat characteristics of their aggregation areas have been identified as a key outstanding ecological knowledge gap for the species. In 2022, during a multi‐year acoustic tracking study in a key juvenile hotspot

Under the cover of darkness: Foraging behaviour increases on cloudy, new moon nights in a pelagic seabird

Ibis, EarlyView.
While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...
