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 ...
Stratigraphy and petroleum systems of the Paleozoic (pre-Khuff) succession, Qatar
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
A thickness of more than 1500m of Palaeozoic (pre-Khuff) siliciclastic strata were
encountered in three deep wells (Matbakh A, and Dukhan A and B) drilled in the State of
Qatar. These sedimentary rocks have no formal ...
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 ...
Hiding in the background: community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Invertebrate herbivores depend on external temperature for growth and metabolism. Continued warming in tundra ecosystems is proposed to result in increased invertebrate herbivory. However, empirical data about how current ...
Geochemical investigation of Yamama crude oils and their inferred source rocks in the Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Ten oil samples from the Yamama reservoirs and ten extracts of purported source rocks from sixteen wells in the Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq have been analyzed using GC, GC/MS and Stable Carbon Isotope. Yamama oils ...
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 ...
Impact of the demise mechanisms of the Cretaceous rudist buildups in the Arabian Plate on their reservoir characteristics
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2017 , Article)
Rudist buildups form the major oil-producing reservoirs in the Cretaceous carbonate strata of the Arabian Plate. They are the main components of the Shuaiba and Mishrif and to lesser extent, the Natih, Mauddud, Simsima, ...
BTEX, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and ozone concentrations at traffic influenced and background urban sites in an arid environment
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Spatial distribution of key air pollutants were studied in Doha, Qatar, over the course of two monitoring campaigns in early spring, 2016. Time-weighted averages of BTEX components (benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, ...
Microbial community composition and dolomite formation in the hypersaline microbial mats of the Khor Al-Adaid sabkhas, Qatar
(
Springer Tokyo
, 2019 , Article)
The Khor Al-Adaid sabkha in Qatar is among the rare extreme environments on Earth where it is possible to study the formation of dolomite-a carbonate mineral whose origin remains unclear and has been hypothetically linked ...
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 ...
