Nutritive effect of dust on microbial biodiversity and productivity of the Arabian Gulf
(
Bellwether Publishing, Ltd.
, 2020 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf is exposed to intensive dust storms during summer until early winter. We investigated the nutritive effect of the dust on microbial biodiversity of the water column and the productivity of the Gulf. We ...
Cytogenetic Characterization of Three Arabian Gulf Bivalve Species
(
Institute of Malacology
, 2020 , Article)
The diploid number and karyotype of three endemic and highly distributed species from the Qatari shores: Brachidontes variabilis (Krauss, 1848) (Mytilidae), Isognomon nucleus (Lamarck, 1819) (Pteriidae) and Neotrapezium ...
