Uncovering responses of zooplankton community to CO2 acidification in Qatar coastal waters
(
Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The combustion of fossil fuels is pushing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) to unprecedented levels. This rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 is causing global changes, with noticeable increases in temperature, ...
Consequences of marine barriers for genetic diversity of the coral-specialist yellowbar angelfish from the Northwestern Indian Ocean
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
© 2019 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Ocean circulation, geological history, geographic distance, and seascape heterogeneity play an important role in phylogeography of coral-dependent ...
Using vertebrate environmental DNA from seawater in biomonitoring of marine habitats
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Conservation and management of marine biodiversity depends on biomonitoring of marine habitats, but current approaches are resource‐intensive and require different approaches for different organisms. Environmental DNA ...

(
Acarological Society of Iran
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the genus Plegadognathus Morselli, 1981 with the species P. bonariensis. Viets, 1936) is recorded from Qatar for the first time. Diagnoses for the genus Plegadognathus and the short description of female of ...
Habitat-specific benthic metabolism in a Mediterranean-type intermittent stream
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Article)
A modified flow-through chamber method was used to measure gross primary production (GPP), net primary production (NPP), community respiration (CR) and associated environmental variables in an intermittent Mediterranean-type ...
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 ...
Vertical zonation and functional diversity of fish assemblages revealed by ROV videos at oil platforms in The Gulf
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
About one third of the oil and gas extracted worldwide comes from offshore sources. There is currently thousands of large-scale oil and gas platforms spread across the seas and coastal oceans, from the North Sea to the ...
Coral bleaching in extreme environments: speciesspecific thermal tolerance limits
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Increasing seawater temperatures are being measured worldwide, causing coral bleaching events during which the symbiosis between the coral host and its symbiotic zooxanthellae is disrupted, and a global decline in reef ...
Fouling assemblages on offshore oil platforms: diverse vertical reefs in the Arabian Gulf
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Coral reefs are one of the most biologically diverse and complex marine ecosystems that are being degraded at rapid rates. This consistent steadily trend is especially critical in coastal areas that have experienced an ...
Ecogenotoxicological Impact of Marine Pollutants on Qatari Bivalves: An Experimental Approach
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The geographical and hydrological characteristics and industrial activities of the Arabian/Persian Gulf contribute to its classification as a stressed marine environment. The persistency of some contaminants released by ...
