Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Food web pathways for fish communities in small tropical streams

, 2020
It is often assumed that invertebrate consumers in small tropical streams are dependent on allochthonous sources, although recent studies indicate that algae can form the base of food webs in tropical streams.

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Prioritising tropical river sub-basins using a geospatial sediment export index for aquatic ecosystem management

Discover Geoscience
Land use and land cover (LULC) changes are closely associated with accelerated soil erosion and sediment transfer to stream networks, contributing to soil fertility loss and degradation of hydrological and aquatic systems.

Short-Term Feeding with Hesperozygis ringens Essential Oil Modulates Transportation-Induced Physiological Responses in Colossoma macropomum

Fishes
Hesperozygis ringens essential oil (HREO), rich in pulegone and limonene, has potential application in aquaculture due to its beneficial properties. This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with HREO (0.0, 0.75, 1.0, and 2.0 g HREO kg ...

Genetic investigation of the large-scale escape of a tropical fish, barramundi Lates calcarifer, from a sea-cage facility in northern Australia

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2014
Expansion of sea-cage aquaculture has increased incidences of large-scale escapes of farmed fish. Whilst escape events are relatively well-characterised for temperate fish species, such as salmonids, there are no studies that report the occurrence and ...

Tropical fishes vanished after the operation of a nuclear power plant was suspended in the Sea of Japan.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Thermal discharge from a nuclear power plant (NPP) provides an opportunity to foresee changes in faunal communities that may be induced by ocean warming.

Soil Inorganic Electron Acceptors and Carbon Substrates Hierarchically Govern Wetland Methanogenesis Temperature Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wetlands constitute Earth's largest natural methane (CH4) source, yet projections of their climate feedback remain uncertain due to poorly constrained temperature sensitivity (Q10‐CH4) of microbial methanogenesis. While water table dynamics have been demonstrated to regulate wetland methanogenesis by altering key soil conditions such as ...

Comprehensive analysis of coding-lncRNA gene co-expression network uncovers conserved functional lncRNAs in zebrafish

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Zebrafish is a full-developed model system for studying development processes and human disease. Recent studies of deep sequencing had discovered a large number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in zebrafish. However, only few of them had been

Diversity of planktonic fish larvae along a latitudinal gradient in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean estimated through DNA barcodes [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Mid-trophic pelagic fish are essential components of marine ecosystems because they represent the link between plankton and higher predators. Moreover, they are the basis of the most important fisheries resources; for example, in African waters.
