Impact of kelp cultivation on the Ecological Status of benthic habitats and Zostera marina seagrass biomass
(Elsevier, 2017-07-25)
The Ecological Status of subtidal benthic communities within a commercial kelp farm on the southwest coast of Ireland was not impacted by macroalgal cultivation. Additionally, there was no effect on the biomass of Zostera ...
Magnetotelluric tensors, electromagnetic field scattering and distortion in three-dimensional environments
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-10-28)
This paper describes how subsurface resistivity distributions can be estimated directly from
the magnetotelluric (MT) tensor relationship between electric and magnetic fields observed on a
three-dimensional (3-D) half-space. ...
Global biodiversity of the genus Ommastrephes (Ommastrephidae: Cephalopoda): an allopatric cryptic species complex
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-03-20)
Cryptic speciation among morphologically homogeneous species is a phenomenon increasingly reported in cosmopolitan marine invertebrates. This situation usually leads to the discovery of new species, each of which occupies ...
Landscape effects in the intertidal around the coastline of Great Britain
(Wiley, 2015-12-21)
Aim We tested whether the size of habitat patches along the coastline of Great Britain influences molluscan species richness.Location Coastline of Great Britain.Methods Intertidal mollusc data were compiled from the National ...
Picking a way forward: valuing and managing traditional shellfish gathering for Littorina littorea
(EDP Sciences, 2018-11-27)
Littorina littorea (periwinkles) have been harvested by hand picking from the shore since prehistoric times. Harvests are generally unregulated, catches are not linked to particular shores and fisheries statistics are ...
Schistosoma mansoni immunomodulatory molecule Sm16/SPO-1/SmSLP is a member of the trematode-specific helminth defence molecules (HDMs)
(Public Library of Science, 2020-07-09)
Sm16, also known as SPO-1 and SmSLP, is a low molecular weight protein (~16kDa) secreted by the digenean trematode parasite Schistosoma mansoni, one of the main causative agents of human schistosomiasis. The molecule is ...
The role of the natural aquatic environment in the dissemination of extended spectrum beta-lactamase and carbapenemase encoding genes: A scoping review
(Elsevier, 2020-05-07)
The natural aquatic environment is a significant contributor to the development and circulation of clinically significant antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The potential for the aquatic environment to act as a reservoir ...
Fasciola hepatica serine protease inhibitor family (serpins): Purposely crafted for regulating host proteases
(Public Library of Science, 2020-08-06)
Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) regulate proteolytic events within diverse biological processes, including digestion, coagulation, inflammation and immune responses. The presence of serpins in Fasciola hepatica ...
The invasive land flatworm Obama nungara (Platyhelminthes: Geoplanidae) reaches a natural environment in the oceanic island of São Miguel (Açores)
(Magnolia Press, 2020)
We report a new finding of the invasive land flatworm Obama nungara Carbayo et al., 2016 in a natural reserve of the oceanic island of São Miguel (Açores, Portugal) at 947 meters of altitude. This is the first record for ...
