Nitzschia captiva sp. nov. (Bacillariophyta), the essential prey diatom of the kleptoplastic dinoflagellate Durinskia capensis, compared with N. agnita, N. kuetzingioides and other species
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-03-13)
Durinskia capensis is a kleptoplastic dinoflagellate species from high intertidal marine rock pools, which can use a variety of diatoms for photosynthesis. However, very few of the diatoms permit ...
Early life stages of the invasive Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus in the Western Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2023-12-11)
The early life cycle of the Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus includes seven zoeal stages that develop in coastal waters, and a later megalopal stage that colonizes estuaries. Although these stages ...
Maximising environmental pressure-response relationship signals from diatom-based metabarcoding in rivers
(Elsevier, 2023-12-28)
DNA metabarcoding has been performed on a large number of river phytobenthos samples collected from the UK, using rbcL primers optimised for diatoms. Within this dataset the composition of non-diatom ...
Non-perennial segments in river networks
(Springer Nature, 2023-11-23)
Non-perennial river segments — those that recurrently cease to flow or frequently dry — occur in all river networks and are globally more abundant than perennial (always flowing) segments. However, ...
Paleolimnological responses of Ecuadorian páramo lakes to local and regional stressors over the last two millennia
(Springer Nature, 2023-01-11)
Increasing surface air temperatures and human influences (e.g., agriculture, livestock grazing, tourism) are altering lacustrine ecosystems in the South American Andean páramo, and these influences are ...
Disentangling drivers of soil organic carbon storage in deltaic rice paddies from the Ebro Delta
(Elsevier, 2023-04-17)
Paddy farming can potentially sequester carbon. However, agricultural practices may alter the stability of the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and thereby increase carbon mobilization in the topsoil ...
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 ...
Evaluating the extent and impact of the extreme Storm Gloria on Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows
(Elsevier, 2023-11-07)
Extreme storms can trigger abrupt and often lasting changes in ecosystems by affecting foundational (habitat-forming) species. While the frequency and intensity of extreme events are projected to increase ...
Multipathogen infections and multifactorial pathogenesis involved in noble pen shell (Pinna nobilis) mass mortality events: Background and current pathologic approaches
(SAGE Publications, 2023-07-17)
Disease outbreaks in several ecologically or commercially important invertebrate marine species have been reported in recent years all over the world. Mass mortality events (MMEs) have affected the noble ...
Enhanced diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate predators and biological pest control but reduced crop establishment in organic rice farming
(Elsevier, 2023-08-10)
Organic farming has been adopted as the main alternative to reduce the environmental impact of intensive agriculture by banning the use of synthetic inputs and bolstering key ecological functions such ...
