New Steroids from the Soft Coral Nephthea chabrolii

Marine Drugs, 2013
A new cytotoxic 19-oxygenated steroid, nebrosteroid Q (1) and two new cytotoxic 19-norergosterols, nebrosteroids R and S (2 and 3) were isolated from the soft coral Nephthea chabrolii collected at San-Hsian-Tai. The structures of nebrosteroids Q–S (1–3) were elucidated by spectral analysis, and their cytotoxicity against selected cancer cells as well ...

Comparative Proteomics of Salinity Stress Responses in Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluctuating salinity is symptomatic of climate change challenging aquatic species. The melting of polar ice, rising sea levels, coastal surface and groundwater salinization, and increased evaporation in arid habitats alter salinity worldwide. Moreover, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as rainstorms and floods increase,

Flowing in History: Reflecting on Past Practices and Their Influence on the Health of Richmond River Catchment, New South Wales, Australia

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Richmond River forms part of the coastal region of New South Wales (NSW) Australia, and is of great environmental, social, and economic importance. The history of the river reflects its role in providing the needs upon which human life depends—water, fertile soil, and food.

An epoxysterol and other constituents of Tanzania soft corals

International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences, 2010
Three biologically active Lobophytum species, L. crassum von Marenzeller (1886), L. rotundum Tixier- Durivault (1957) and L. venustum Tixier-Durivault (1957) and one Sinularia species were phytochemically investigated. Lobophytum rotundum afforded an epoxysterol (1), cembraolide (2), and fatty acid ester (4), and ether glycerols (6 and 7).

Bridging the gap in deep seafloor management: Ultra fine‐scale ecological habitat characterization of large seascapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
To achieve the UN's goal of protecting 30% of oceans by 2030, effective management and detailed seafloor mapping are essential, especially in the mesophotic zone. We present a new workflow combining high‐resolution synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) and bathymetry surveys for efficient habitat characterization. In 6 h, we mapped ~5 km2 of a mesophotic reef,

Benthic habitat mapping in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary: Classification of side scan sonar data from survey HMPR-108-2002-01: Version I [PDF]

, 2006
In September 2002, side scan sonar was used to image a portion of the sea floor in the northern OCNMS and was mosaiced at 1-meter pixel resolution using 100 kHz data collected at 300-meter range scale.

Recovery at Morvin: SERPENT final report [PDF]

, 2010
Recovery from disturbance is poorly understood in deep water, but the extent of anthropogenic impacts is becoming increasingly well documented. We used Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) to visually assess the change in benthic habitat after exploratory ...

Recognising Seaweeds: Addressing Gaps in International Biodiversity Frameworks for Global Seaweed Conservation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As anthropogenic pressures increasingly impact marine ecosystems and the biodiversity they support, governance mechanisms for international biodiversity conservation have emerged. Seaweed habitats are important repositories for marine biodiversity, and they provide crucial ecosystem services that support both ocean and human health.
