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
Algal Blooms of Heterosigma akashiwo and Mugilidae Gill AlterationsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 45 - Trang 1674-1687 - 2022
Eugin Bornman, Janine B. Adams, Nadine A. Strydom
Harmful algal bloom events (HABs) of the raphidophyte, Heterosigma akashiwo, have increased in frequency and severity in some South African estuaries and have been observed in conjunction with substantial fish kills. The impact of H. akashiwo on wild fish populations is still unclear, despite being responsible for massive economic losses in the aquaculture industry globally. Thus, histopathologica...... hiện toàn bộ
How Waterlogged Microsites Help an Annual Plant Persist Among Salt Marsh PerennialsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 300-312 - 2008
Alison K. Varty, Joy B. Zedler
Annual plants that coexist among perennial dominants might persist in microsites that are stressful to their competitors. In Californian salt marshes, where cover of annual and perennial Salicornia species are negatively correlated, we hypothesized that waterlogged depressions support the annual (Salicornia bigelovii) but not the region’s dominant perennial (Salicornia virginica). In a large resto...... hiện toàn bộ
Differences in Soft-Sediment Infaunal Communities Between Shorelines with and Without SeawallsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 42 - Trang 1127-1137 - 2019
Lincoln P. Critchley, Melanie J. Bishop
Seawalls are an increasingly conspicuous component of coastlines, which may modify ecological communities through their effects on physical and biological processes. Effects of seawalls on ecological communities may vary spatially according to environmental conditions at the site of seawall placement, the local species pool, and the characteristics of the seawall itself. In the Austral Spring of 2...... hiện toàn bộ
Interactions between Volatile Reduced Sulfur Compounds and Metals in the Seine Estuary (France)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 1063-1071 - 2008
Amandine Cozic, Eric Viollier, Jean-François Chiffoleau, Joël Knoery, Emmanuelle Rozuel
Concentrations of volatile hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbonyl sulfide (OCS), methane thiol (MeSH), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the Seine estuary (France) were investigated in spring 2005 using samples collected from the first meter beneath the surface. Levels of dissolved metals (Ag, Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Pb), suspended particulate matter, and particular organic carbon wer...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Submerged Macrophytes in Three Hydrologically Altered Mediterranean Coastal LagoonsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 36 - Trang 414-429 - 2012
Patricia Prado, Nuno Caiola, Carles Ibáñez
Rice cultivation in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia, Spain) has inverted the natural hydrological cycles of coastal lagoons and decreased water salinities for over 150 years. Adjustments in the water management practices—in terms of source and amount of freshwater inputs—have resulted in changes in the diversity, distribution and productivity of submerged angiosperms. Between the 1970s and late 1980s, a...... hiện toàn bộ
Distribution of a Coastal Delphinid Under the Impact of Long-Term Habitat Loss: Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins off Taiwan’s West CoastSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 40 - Trang 594-603 - 2016
Leszek Karczmarski, Shiang-Lin Huang, Wai-Ho Wong, Wei-Lun Chang, Stephen C.Y. Chan, Mark Keith
For the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, Sousa chinensis, an obligatory shallow water inshore species, the degradation of coastal habitats can have major consequences for population persistence and distribution. Off Taiwan’s west coast (TWC), these animals are predominantly seen in two areas separated by a stretch of coast with only sporadic sightings, suggesting that either (a) only two sectors of ...... hiện toàn bộ
