Extending deep-sea benthic biodiversity inventories with environmental DNA metabarcoding
Inventories of biodiversity are crucial for hel** support conservation and management efforts, yet the deep-sea, which is the largest biome on...

Linking prokaryotic genome size variation to metabolic potential and environment
While theories and models have appeared to explain genome size as a result of evolutionary processes, little work has shown that genome sizes carry...

Are there distribution patterns and population structure differences among demersal fish species in relation to Antarctic benthic communities? A case study in the Weddell Sea
Despite the general belief that the Southern Ocean harbors low fish biodiversity, the Weddell Sea hosts one of the richest fish communities in the...

Spatial patterns and drivers of benthic community structure on the northern Adriatic biogenic reefs
The northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) hosts numerous biogenic subtidal reefs that are considered biodiversity hotspots. Several studies have already...

Estimating Pelagic Fish Biomass in a Tropical Seascape Using Echosounding and Baited Stereo-Videography
The pelagic ecosystem is the ocean’s largest by volume and of major importance for food provision and carbon cycling. The high fish species diversity...

Tributaries create habitat heterogeneity and enhance fish assemblage variation in one of the largest reservoirs in the world
The Three Gorges Reservoir is one of the largest reservoirs in the world. Previous studies uncovered longitudinal changes in fish assemblages among...

Caught in the middle: bottom-up and top-down processes impacting recruitment in a small pelagic fish
Understanding the drivers behind fluctuations in fish populations remains a key objective in fishery science. Our predictive capacity to explain...

The role of chemical cues in locating the host pelagic Sargassum spp. by the symbiotic fish Stephanolepis hispidus
Pelagic Sargassum spp. is important in the life histories of many economically and ecologically important associated organisms, which collectively...

Fisheries and Marine Conservation in Chilean Patagonia
The Patagonian fjords and channels system has been subjected to intense fishing pressure over the last 50 years. There are currently more than 40,000...

Corresponding planktivore and predator spatial distributions in an oceanic coral reef system
Understanding the drivers of food web community structure is a fundamental goal in ecology. While studies indicate that many coral reef predators...

Seasonal trends in benthic macrofauna communities and their relationship with environmental factors in an Atlantic lagoonal system
We studied benthic communities with different types of habitats in the Moulay Bousselham lagoon during the winter and summer of 2019. We aimed to...

Responses of Phytoplankton Benthic Propagules to Macronutrient Enrichment and Varying Light Intensities: Elucidation from Monsoon-Influenced Mandovi and Zuari Riverine System
The ecological importance of phytoplankton-benthic-propagules (PBP) from coastal sediments, except tropical monsoon-influenced rivers and estuaries,...

Parallel evolution of morphological traits and body shape in littoral and pelagic brook charr, Salvelinus fontinalis, along a gradient of interspecific competition
The parallel evolution of similar ecotypes in response to comparable environmental conditions is believed to reveal the importance of divergent...

Phylogenomic analysis and morphological data suggest left-right swimming behavior evolved prior to the origin of the pelagic Phylliroidae (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia)
Evolutionary transitions from benthic to pelagic habitats are major adaptive shifts. Investigations into such shifts are critical for understanding...

The dispersal potential of benthic macroinvertebrates is influenced by factors acting at small spatial scales in tropical estuaries
This study aimed to assess the dispersal patterns of macroinvertebrates at local and regional scales within typical tropical and semi-arid estuaries...

Lake Food Webs
The warm monomictic thermal regime of Lake Alchichica largely influences the carbon stocks type, amount, and available for the food webs, but also...

Walleye and yellow perch resource use in large lakes invaded by spiny water fleas and zebra mussels
Walleye ( Sander vitreus ; WAE) and yellow perch ( Perca flavescens ; YEP; collectively percids) are freshwater fishes threatened by multiple stressors,...
-
Evolutionary History and Relationships of Shrimps
The evolutionary history of shrimps can be determined or inferred by various techniques. This history is best expressed by their classification and...

Sluggish methane discharge and biological traits of benthic invertebrates in Lake Baikal
The biological traits of invertebrates inhabiting freshwater methane seeps are poorly understood. We analysed the relationship between invertebrate...

Shifts in maternal foraging strategies during pregnancy promote offspring health and survival in a marine top predator
The success of maternal foraging strategies during the rearing period can greatly impact the physiology and survival of dependent offspring....
