Nesting ecology of hawksbill turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata, in an extreme environmental setting
(
Public Library of Science
, 2018 , Article)
Relatively few details of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting ecology exist within the Arabian Gulf. Moreover, little is known about how their nesting dynamics compare to nesting populations throughout the ...
Validation of Total Mercury in Marine Sediment and Biological Samples, Using Cold Vapour Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
A method for the measurement of total mercury (T-Hg) in environmental samples using
cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV AAS) has been validated yielding a dynamic range
(0.04–10.00 g/kg) and high certified ...
Consequences of marine barriers for genetic diversity of the coral-specialist yellowbar angelfish from the Northwestern Indian Ocean
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Ocean circulation, geological history, geographic distance, and seascape heterogeneity play an important role in phylogeography of coral‐dependent fishes. Here, we investigate potential genetic population structure within ...
Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ...
Attenuation of wave energy due to mangrove vegetation off Mumbai, India
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Coastal regions of India are prone to sea level rise, cyclones, storm surges, and human-induced activities, resulting in flood, erosion, and inundation, and some of these impacts could be attributed to climate change. ...
New insights about the introduction of the Portuguese oyster, Crassostrea angulata, into the North East Atlantic from Asia based on a highly polymorphic mitochondrial region
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Article)
It is commonly presumed that the Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata was introduced into the North East (NE) Atlantic from Asia. The analysis of the nucleotide sequence of a highly polymorphic non-coding mitochondrial ...
Modern problems in marine biodiversity records-illustrated by the case of the Caribbean Pelia mutica (Gibbes, 1850) confirmed in Brazil
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2016 , Article)
This report confirms the presence of Pelia mutica in Brazil, extending its range by approximately 4000 km south to the southwestern Atlantic Ocean from its most southerly recorded distribution. The presence of this small ...
Short-term behavioural responses to thermal stress by hawksbill turtles in the Arabian region
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
We present a previously unrecorded short-term behavioural response by hawksbill sea turtles to elevated sea surface temperatures in the Persian/Arabian Gulf. Surface waters typically exceed 30°C for sustained periods during ...
Identification of Important Sea Turtle Areas (ITAs) for hawksbill turtles in the Arabian Region
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
We present the first data on hawksbill turtle post-nesting migrations and behaviour in the Arabian region. Tracks from 90 post-nesting turtles (65 in the Gulf and 25 from Oman) revealed that hawksbills in the Arabian region ...
Epibenthic assemblages on vertical artificial substrates: recruitment and succession patterns in offshore Qatari waters
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Artificial structures get introduced into the marine environment by accident (e.g., shipwrecks) or intentionally, for logistical (i.e., coastal protection), industrial (i.e., oil exploitation) or biological habitat enhancement ...
