Oligotrophication and Metabolic Slowing-Down of a NW Mediterranean Coastal Ecosystem

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Increased oligotrophication is expected for oligotrophic areas as a consequence of ocean warming, which reduces diffusive vertical nutrient supply due to strengthened stratification.

Remobilization of Heavy Metals by Mangrove Leaves

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Several studies have been carried out on heavy metal pollution in mangrove ecosystems. However, the role of mangroves in heavy metal remobilization is still relatively unknown.

Microbial planktonic communities in the Red Sea: high levels of spatial and temporal variability shaped by nutrient availability and turbulence

Scientific Reports, 2017
The semi-enclosed nature of the Red Sea (20.2°N–38.5°N) makes it a natural laboratory to study the influence of environmental gradients on microbial communities.

Transcriptomes and expression profiling of deep-sea corals from the Red Sea provide insight into the biology of azooxanthellate corals

Scientific Reports, 2017
Despite the importance of deep-sea corals, our current understanding of their ecology and evolution is limited due to difficulties in sampling and studying deep-sea environments.

The growth and reproductive biology of the coral gall crab, Hapalocarcinus marsupialis Stimpson, 1859 (Crustacea: Cryptochiridae) from Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, Egypt

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2018
Background Gall crabs were described 150 years ago, but little is known about their biology, ecology, and taxonomy. Studying the breeding season can facilitate the understanding of the adaptive strategies and reproductive potential of gall crab and its ...

Association of coral algal symbionts with a diverse viral community responsive to heat shock

BMC Microbiology, 2017
Background Stony corals provide the structural foundation of coral reef ecosystems and are termed holobionts given they engage in symbioses, in particular with photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium.

Dynamics of Sea-level Changes in the Red Sea

, 2022
Abstract: Under the recent global climatic changes, the information on sea-level changes is very important for the proper understanding of upper-ocean processes. The information on sea-level changes in the Red Sea is significantly lacking, especially the information on interannual variability, long-term trends, and associated dynamics.

Near complete local extinction of iconic anemonefish and their anemone hosts following a heat stress event

npj Biodiversity
A fundamental question in modern-day ecology is: How will populations and their interactions respond to a rapidly changing climate? Documenting local collapses of ecologically and economically important populations can offer insight into broader patterns

Dietary partitioning among three cryptobenthic reef fish mesopredators revealed by visual analysis, metabarcoding of gut content, and stable isotope analysis

Environmental DNA
Understanding how mesopredators partition their diet and the identity of consumed prey can assist in understanding the ecological role predators and prey play in ecosystem trophodynamics.

White islands in a sea of red

IDCases
Dengue is a viral disease caused by a single-stranded RNA virus from the Flaviviridae family, primarily transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, although Aedes albopictus also plays a role as a vector. Clinical features of dengue range from nonspecific symptoms to severe forms like dengue shock syndrome.
