Spatial habitat partitioning enables coexistence of three Gobiidae species in estuarine environments
Abstract This study examines resource partitioning (feeding morphology, diet and habitat partitioning) among three gobiid species, the Knysna sandgoby Psammogobius knysnaensis, the prison goby Caffrogobius gilchristi and the river goby Glossogobius callidus, within an estuarine environment.

ABSTRACT Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite that infects the skeletal muscle of various teleost fish species globally. Severe infections lead to ‘soft flesh’ in fish fillets, resulting in food spoilage and subsequent discard. While K. thyrsites has previously been identified in migratory Atlantic mackerel in the northern Northeast Atlantic Ocean,

Morphogenesis along the animal-vegetal axis: fates of primary quartet micromere daughters in the gastropod Crepidula fornicata. [PDF]
BackgroundThe Spiralia are a large, morphologically diverse group of protostomes (e.g. molluscs, annelids, nemerteans) that share a homologous mode of early development called spiral cleavage.

Abstract Despite the importance of the seasonal timing of events in the life cycle for understanding population dynamics, we lack information on the phenology of most macroalgal species. The red macroalga Gracilaria vermiculophylla has become common in both hard‐ and soft‐bottom habitats following its invasion throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

Mechanical Properties Of Sediment Determine Burrowing Success And Influence Distribution Of Two Lugworm Species [PDF]
We apply new perspectives on how organisms burrow by examining the association of in situ variation in sediment mechanical properties with burrowing ability and species distribution of two sympatric lugworms, Abarenicola pacifica and Abarenicola ...

Abstract The invasion of the red macroalga Gracilaria vermiculophylla provided an opportunity to investigate the influence of benthic habitats on the reproductive mode, population structure, and colonization dynamics in haploid‐diploid life cycles.

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries
Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.
