Foraging behaviour and diet of Brown boobies Sula leucogaster from Tinhosas Islands, Gulf of Guinea
Seabirds are a highly threatened group, yet the foraging ecology of several species remains poorly understood. Brown boobies breed in all oceans in...

Osseous Structures and Their Response Repertoire
Circumferential bone growth is periosteum-derived; longitudinal growth is endochondralEndochondral in nature and dependent on vascular channels... -
Impact of petroleum hydrocarbon and heavy metal pollution on coral reefs and mangroves: a review
Pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and chromium is impairing marine ecosystems. Here, we review the...

Fishes of the Arabian Sea Coasts of Oman: Checklist and Biodiversity Analyses
The southern coasts of Oman bordering the Northwest coasts of the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean. They are located at the boundary of several... -
Fish community diversity in a coastal zone at southeastern Gulf of California, Mexico
Although the southeast region of the Gulf of California has a high fish diversity, due to the high biological productivity, the coastal area of...
