Genome sequence of an alkaliphilus species isolated from historically contaminated sediments of the gulf of Naples (Mediterranean Sea)
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021)
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) of a new Alkaliphilus bacterium, NP8, of the Clostridiaceae family. This bacterium was isolated from polluted sediment collected from an ...
How much leaf area do insects eat? A data set of insect herbivory sampled globally with a standardized protocol
(Ecological Society of America, 2021)
Herbivory is ubiquitous. Despite being a potential driver of plant distribution and performance, herbivory remains largely undocumented. Some early attempts have been made to review, globally, how much leaf area is removed ...
Variation and change of upwelling dynamics detected in the world's eastern boundary upwelling systems
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Global increases in temperature are altering land-sea temperature gradients. Bakun (1990) hypothesized that changes within these gradients will directly affect atmospheric pressure cells associated with the development of ...
Gyrodactylus molweni sp. n. (Monogenea: Gyrodactylidae) from Chelon richardsonii (Smith, 1846) (Mugilidae) from Table Bay, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)
Gyrodactylus molweni sp. n. is described from the body surface and fins of the South African mullet, Chelon
richardsonii (Smith, 1846) collected from Table Bay Harbour, Cape Town and is compared to five other Gyrodactylus ...
ROV assessment of mesophotic fish and associated habitats across the continental shelf of the Amathole region
(Nature Research, 2021)
Understanding how fsh associate with habitats across marine landscapes is crucial to developing
efective marine spatial planning (MSP) in an expanding and diversifying ocean economy. Globally,
anthropogenic pressures ...
A novel approach to quantify metrics of upwelling intensity, frequency, and duration
(Public Library of Science, 2021)
The importance of coastal upwelling systems is widely recognized. However, several
aspects of the current and future behaviors of these systems remain uncertain. Fluctuations
in temperature because of anthropogenic climate ...
The conservation status and population decline of the African penguin deconstructed in space and time
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
Understanding changes in abundance is crucial for conservation, but population growth rates often vary over space and time. We use 40 years of count data (1979–2019) and Bayesian state-space models to assess the African ...
An estuary ecosystem classification that encompasses biogeography and a high diversity of types in support of protection and management
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
For nearly three decades, the Whitfield (1992) characterisation scheme served as a reference framework to type South African estuaries. We outline a revised ecosystem classification scheme that incorporates biogeographical ...
Exogenous antioxidants enhance seedling growth and yield of artificially aged cabbage and lettuce seeds
(MPDI, 2021)
Aged seeds exhibit compromised vigour in terms of germination, seedling emergence
and growth, but this can to some extent be alleviated by invigoration treatments before sowing.
This study aimed to investigate ageing ...
Specialized morphology, not relatively large head size, facilitates competition between a small-bodied specialist and large-bodied generalist competitors
(Journal of Zoology, 2021)
Interspecific competition for limited resources should theoretically occur between species that are morphologically similar to each other. Consequently, species that reduce competition by adapting to specialize on a specific ...
