Meta-analysis of Nekton Utilization of Coastal Habitats in the Northern Gulf of MexicoSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 43 - Trang 1722-1745 - 2019

Estuaries in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) provide habitat for many ecologically, commercially, and recreationally important fish and crustacean species (i.e., nekton), but patterns of nekton abundance and community assemblages across habitat types, salinity zones, and seasons have not been described region-wide. Recognizing the wealth of information collected from previous and ongoing field s...... hiện toàn bộ
Threat of Predation Does Not Affect Crassostrea virginica FiltrationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 41 - Trang 293-298 - 2017

Biotic interactions can structure ecological communities and influence ecosystem functioning. As ecosystem engineers and filter feeders, bivalves often have disproportionately large effects on ecosystem functioning. They also utilize numerous morphological and behavioral responses to reduce predation, which can include changes in their filtration rates. To test the response of Crassostrea virginic...... hiện toàn bộ
Feeding and Diet Overlap of Six Estuarine Fishes (Family Carangidae) from the Mexican Pacific RegionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 45 - Trang 302-313 - 2021
Luisa Elena Velasco-Reyes, Consuelo María Aguilar-Betancourt, Gaspar González-Sansón, Juan Ramón Flores-Ortega, María Fernanda Ambriz-Casillas
Caranx caninus, C. sexfasciatus, Chloroscombrus orqueta, Selene brevoortii, S. peruviana, and Selar crumenophthalmus are species with economic importance for local artisanal fisheries and are regular components of the fish assemblage at Barra de Navidad coastal lagoon in the Pacific coast of Mexico. The working hypothesis was that carangid species in the lagoon share a common food base but the pro...... hiện toàn bộ
Localized Water Quality Improvement in the Choptank Estuary, a Tributary of Chesapeake BaySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 44 Số 5 - Trang 1274-1293 - 2021

AbstractChesapeake Bay has a long history of nutrient pollution resulting in degraded water quality. However, we report improvements in chlorophyll a in surface waters and dissolved oxygen in bottom waters at one of three estuarine stations in the Choptank tributary of Chesapeake Bay. We updated a previous nutrient budget for the estuary ...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring the Functional Strategies Adopted by Coastal Plants Along an Ecological Gradient Using Morpho-functional TraitsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 45 - Trang 114-129 - 2021
Daniela Ciccarelli, Cleusa Bona
Coastal dunes are characterised by strong interactions between biotic and abiotic factors along a short gradient from the shoreline to the inland region. We carried out an ecological analysis of the vegetation in a protected area of the Italian coast to evaluate the relationships among species abundance, the occurrence of morphoanatomical traits related to leaves, stems, and roots, and soil variab...... hiện toàn bộ
Oxygen and Triple Oxygen Isotope Measurements Provide Different Insights into Gross Oxygen Production in a Shallow Salt Marsh PondSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 43 - Trang 1908-1922 - 2020

The metabolism of estuarine environments is often estimated by measuring changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations. A central assumption of common oxygen-based approaches is that oxygen consumption rates (primarily respiration) are similar under light and dark conditions. Evaluating this assumption is critical, especially in benthic-dominated systems, because differences between daytime and night...... hiện toàn bộ
