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 ...
Geochemical composition of Aeolian dust and surface deposits from the Qatar Peninsula
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract The trace metal geochemistry of atmospheric dust and terrestrial surface particles were studied on the Qatar Peninsula from February 2014 to November 2015. We included samples of the mega dust-storm event on 01–02 ...
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 ...
Artisanal fishing of spiny lobsters with gillnets — A significant anthropic impact on tropical reef ecosystem
(2015 , Article)
Abstract Artisanal fishing activity with gillnets to capture the spiny lobster is a common practice along the coastal reefs of Brazil. This research aims to understand the impact that this artisanal fishing practice is ...
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 ...
Extending the southern range of four shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Stenopodidae, Hippolytidae and Alpheidae) in southwestern Atlantic (27oS) and confirming the presence of Mediterranean Stenopus spinosus Risso, 1827 in Brazil
(
Zootaxa
, 2015 , Article)
In subtidal zones, certain shrimp species with cryptic behaviour represent a gap in the biodiversity description in many places in the world. This study extends the southern limit of Stenopus hispidus (Oliver, 1811), Alpheus ...
Independent effects of habitat and stream typology on macroinvertebrate communities in Mediterranean-type intermittent streams
(
Associacion Espanola de Limnologia
, 2019 , Article)
Independent effects of habitat and stream typology on macroinvertebrate communities in Mediterranean-type intermittent streams Macroinvertebrate-based water quality assessment in temporary streams is an important yet still ...
Do changes in current flow as a result of arrays of tidal turbines have an effect on benthic communities?
(
Public Library of Science
, 2016 , Article)
Arrays of tidal energy converters have the potential to provide clean renewable energy for future generations. Benthic communities may, however, be affected by changes in current speeds resulting from arrays of tidal ...
