Is metal contamination responsible for increasing aneuploidy levels in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum?
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The present study assessed the metal genotoxicity potential at chromosome-level in the bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum collected along different areas of the Tagus estuary. Higher levels of aneuploidy on gill cells were ...
Decapod assemblages in subtidal and intertidal zones—Importance of scuba diving as a survey technique in tropical reefs, Brazil
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Decapods play a crucial role within the reef ecosystem and the development of scuba diving as a survey tool has allowed researchers the opportunity to study the decapod–reef relationship more comprehensively. The present ...
Metal distribution in marine sediment along the Doha Bay, Qatar.
(
Springer

Concentrations of 25 heavy metals (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sr, V, Zn and Hg) in surface sediments along the Doha Bay from 10 transects each with five stations were ...
A microarray-based analysis of oocyte quality in the European clam Ruditapes decussatus
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Abstract A microarray-based analysis was performed with the objective of describing genomic features of oocytes and looking for potential markers of oocyte quality in the economically important European clam, Ruditapes ...
First genotoxicity assessment of marine environment in Qatar using the local Pearl oyster Pinctada radiata
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf countries’ marine environment has been subjected to increasing industrial development and anthropogenic pressure, leading to the growing introduction of contaminants into the marine environment, with a ...

(
PeerJ
, 2018 , Article)
Lysmata arvoredensis sp. nov. inhabits temperate waters in the south coast of Brazil and is named in tribute to the Marine Protected Area REBIO Arvoredo. This is the fourth species belonging to the genus Lysmata recorded ...
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 ...
Diversity of benthic macrofauna and physical parameters of sediments in natural mangroves and in afforested mangroves three decades after compensatory planting
(
Springer
, 2018 , Article)
Mangroves in the Arabian Gulf are under pressure from land use change, leading to compensatory planting at sites without
natural mangroves. In this study, we examine the potential long-term success of this form of ...
Outwelling from arid mangrove systems is sustained by inwelling of seagrass productivity
(
Inter-Research
, 2014 , Article)
Mangrove forest productivity is normally sustained by nutrients from terrestrial runoff, with freshwater inputs driving the resulting outwelling of production, but arid mangroves lack this input. The movement of material ...
