Ecosystem-level effects of re-oligotrophication and N:P imbalances in rivers and estuaries on a global scale
(Wiley, 2022-11-11)
Trends and ecological consequences of phosphorus (P) decline and increasing nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (N:P) ratios in rivers and estuaries are reviewed and discussed. Results suggest that re-oligotrophication ...
Negative impacts of dominance on bee communities: Does the influence of invasive honey bees differ from native bees?
(Wiley, 2021-09-01)
Invasive species can reach high abundances and dominate native environments. One of the most impressive examples of ecological invasions is the spread of the African subspecies of the honey bee throughout ...
Evaluation of Toxicity Equivalency Factors of Tetrodotoxin Analogues with a Neuro-2a Cell-Based Assay and Application to Puffer Fish from Greece
(MDPI, 2023-07-29)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent marine neurotoxin involved in poisoning cases, especially through the consumption of puffer fish. Knowledge of the toxicity equivalency factors (TEFs) of TTX analogues is ...
Toxicity characterisation of Gambierdiscus species from the Canary Islands
(MDPI, 2020-02-21)
In the last decade, several outbreaks of ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) have been reported in the Canary Islands (central northeast Atlantic Ocean), confirming ciguatera as an emerging alimentary risk ...
Exchange of volatile organic compounds between the atmosphere and the soil
(Springer, 2024-03-06)
Background
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a crucial role in understanding soil ecology and the atmospheric environment. However, the biochemical cycles of VOCs in soil systems and their ...
Capacity of the potentially toxic diatoms Pseudo-nitzschia mannii and Pseudo-nitzschia hasleana to tolerate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(Elsevier, 2021-03-12)
This study investigates the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on two potentially toxic Pseudo-nitzschia hasleana and P. mannii, isolated from a PAH contaminated marine environment. Both ...
Phylotranscriptomics reveals the reticulate evolutionary history of a widespread diatom species complex
(Wiley, 2022-07-21)
In contrast to surveys based on a few genes that often provide limited taxonomic resolution, transcriptomes provide a wealth of genomic loci that can resolve relationships among taxonomically challenging ...
Ripe for reassessment: a synthesis of available molecular data for the speciose diatom family Bacillariaceae
(Elsevier, 2020-10-13)
The Bacillariaceae is a very species-rich family of raphid diatoms and includes the large and taxonomically difficult genus Nitzschia, whose species are often small-celled and finely structured and have ...
Modeling soil accretion and carbon accumulation in deltaic rice fields
(Elsevier, 2023-07-17)
Rice cultivation is popular in low-lying areas such as deltas, but climate change threatens the viability of the crop. In recent decades, the resilience of deltas to sea level rise (SLR) has been ...
Prey preference in a kleptoplastic dinoflagellate is linked to photosynthetic performance
(Springer Nature, 2023-06-30)
Dinoflagellates of the family Kryptoperidiniaceae, known as “dinotoms”, possess diatom-derived endosymbionts and contain individuals at three successive evolutionary stages: a transiently maintained ...
