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 ...

ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Polychaete assemblages in the Argentinean Biogeographical Province, between 34° and 38° S
Polychaete assemblages were studied from samples taken in the Southwestern Atlantic, between 34°S and 38°S (Argentinean Biogeographical Province) during 1993, 2001 and 2002 from a series of oceanographic cruises in mixohaline to oceanic waters ...

Feeding ecology of 0-group sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax in salt marshes of Mont Saint-Michel bay (France) [PDF]
0-group sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, colonize intertidal marsh creeks of Mont Saint Michel Bay, France, on spring tides (e.g., 43% of the tides) during flood and return to coastal waters during ebb.

This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

Expression of Distal-less, dachshund, and optomotor blind in Neanthes arenaceodentata (Annelida, Nereididae) does not support homology of appendage-forming mechanisms across the Bilateria [PDF]
The similarity in the genetic regulation of arthropod and vertebrate appendage formation has been interpreted as the product of a plesiomorphic gene network that was primitively involved in bilaterian appendage development and co-opted to build ...

The end stage of barrier estuary infill: Insights from Jack Smith Lake, Southeastern Australia
Infill model for the saline coastal lake estuary, Jack Smith Lake. Abstract Jack Smith Lake in southeastern Australia is an infilled saline coastal lake, disconnected from the ocean by a foredune barrier. This study explores the Holocene infill history of this estuary in order to understand the end‐stage evolution of barrier estuarine systems with ...

Estimating ecological thresholds for good status using natural variation in reference conditions
The framework outlined here presents a transparent, robust, scalable and pressure‐independent approach to estimate the probability of an ecosystem component being in good status for a range of marine systems. This straightforward and easily understood approach can be used to estimate thresholds for good status where they are missing for ecological ...

The position of graptolites within Lower Palaeozoic planktic ecosystems. [PDF]
An integrated approach has been used to assess the palaeoecology of graptolites both as a discrete group and also as a part of the biota present within Ordovician and Silurian planktic realms.
