A pH Dependant Switch in DHP Oxidation Mechanism [PDF]
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) is a multifunctional enzyme found in Amphitrite ornata, a sediment-dwelling marine worm. This enzyme possess the structure of a traditional hemoglobin enzyme and serves as the primary oxygen carrier in A.

Diets of shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis and cormorants P. carbo in Norway and possible implications for gadoid stock recruitment [PDF]
The diets of shags and cormorants were studied in Norway through analyses of regurgitated pellets. Although this method has many limitations, indications were that both species rely heavily on small gadoids (Gadidae) and sand eels (Ammodytidae) for food ...

Our results suggest that pressures in marine ecosystems often arise from numerous seemingly minor activities that collectively contribute to substantial habitat degradation. They underscore the urgent need to develop more targeted, local management measures that address detrimental small‐scale activities.

ABSTRACT Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) have emerged as a powerful tool for resolving deep evolutionary relationships due to their low DNA quality requirements and broad taxonomic applicability. While their utility for intraspecific and shallow‐divergence studies is growing, only a few studies have explored their performance in marine taxa, some of ...

Influence of bioturbation by the polychaete Nereis diversicolor on the structure of bacterial communities in oil contaminated coastal sediments [PDF]
Patterns of change in the structure of bacterial communities monitored by ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA) in oil contaminated sediments inhabited or not by the marine polychaete Nereis diversicolor were studied during 45 days under laboratory

Biogeochemical and physical feedbacks are well known to prevent ecosystem recovery even after initial disturbance factors are mitigated. However, multi‐trophic interactions that may maintain disturbed areas have received less attention, despite their potential importance in mediating restoration success. In this study, we surveyed stingray feeding pits

Does the invasive plant Elymus athericus modify fish diet in tidal salt marshes? [PDF]
The invasion of Mont-Saint-Michel Bay salt marshes (France) by a grass species (Elymus athericus) has led to important changes in vegetation cover, which is likely to modify the habitat for many invertebrates.

High-resolution vision in pelagic polychaetes [PDF]
High-resolution object vision - the ability to separate, classify, and interact with specific objects in the environment against the visual background - has only been conclusively shown to have evolved in three of the thirty-five animal phyla: chordates, arthropods, and mollusks (cephalopods)1.
