Black Spot Syndrome in ocean surgeonfish: using video-based surveillance to quantify disease severity and test environmental drivers Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-04 Cheyenna D. G. de Wit, Pieter T. J. Johnson
Observations of Black Spot Syndrome (BSS), a pigmented dermatopathy in marine fishes, have been increasingly reported in important grazers such as surgeonfish and parrotfish in the Caribbean. This condition has been linked to infection by the trematode parasite, Scaphanocephalus spp., although relatively little is known about the environmental drivers of infection and how they vary spatially.

A foundation for comparative genomics and evolutionary studies in Nucella lapillus based on complete mitogenome assembly Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-04 Daniel García-Souto, Jonathan Fernández-Rodríguez, André Vidal-Capón, Neil Fuller, Juan Pizcueta, Juan J. Pasantes, Juan Galindo
The Atlantic dog whelk, Nucella lapillus, is a marine snail that exhibits divergent evolution in response to habitat adaptation, resulting in distinct populations at the phenotypic, genotypic, and karyotypic levels. In this study, we utilized short- and long-read NGS data to perform a de novo assembly of the entire mitochondrial genome of N. lapillus and developed a multiplex PCR protocol to sequence

Assessing diets of marine fauna associated with emerging zoantharian habitats in the Canary Islands Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-03
Abstract Population outbreaks of zoantharians in shallow water reefs have been observed globally, including intertidal and subtidal sites in the Canary Islands. This study investigated how zoantharians might be integrating into the local trophic network. For that purpose, we assessed the feeding patterns of common species in zoantharian-dominated habitats, focusing on finding consumers of Zoanthus

Responses of mussels (Perumytilus purpuratus) to waterborne exudate cues from predatory snails (Acanthina monodon) depend on cue intensity Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-29 Joseline A. Büchner-Miranda, Luis P. Salas-Yanquin, Nelson Valdivia, Ricardo A. Scrosati, Bárbara Riedemann-Saldivia, Víctor M. Cubillos, Oscar R. Chaparro
Predators affect their prey through consumptive and non-consumptive effects (NCEs). Regarding marine NCEs, predator chemical cues (e.g., exudates) can trigger various anti-predator responses in prey that can vary in magnitude according to the intensity of the perceived cues. Specimens of the mussel Perumytilus purpuratus were exposed to seawater that held different densities of the predatory snail

Rhinoceros auklets Cerorhinca monocerata rearing chicks at Teuri Island, Japan Sea, fed on anchovy Engraulis japonicus in 2012 and 2013 (anchovy regime) but switched to sand lance Ammodytes spp in 2019 and 2020 (sand lance regime).

The impact of eddies and spring warm pool on sinking rates of phytoplankton with different shapes and sizes Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-25
Abstract Slowly sinking small particles in surface seawater are proven to be one of the major contributors to the mesopelagic carbon flux. Phytoplankton can respond rapidly to changes in the marine environment, so assessing the efficiency of their downward export can better constrain the relationship between carbon biomass and sinking fluxes. Here, we measured the sinking rates of individual phytoplankton

Shifting thermal tolerance windows throughout incubation affects sea turtle hatching success: implications for hatchery management and conservation Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-13
Abstract Thermal conditions in the nest affect the development of sea turtle clutches, with high temperatures potentially reducing reproductive success and the quality of hatchlings. In a warming climate, increasing temperatures could become a threat to sea turtles in many locations. This has prompted the implementation or recommendation of climate mitigation strategies in nests that incubate in hatchery

Presence of microplastic in target species of small scale fisheries and possible social implications on the local communities Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-22
Abstract Microplastic ingestion by marine fishes has been of particular interest, as many species are the target of commercial fisheries and, thus, have a strong connection with human health. Consumption of microplastic thru seafood is likely to have harmful effects on people globally but mainly on social groups that highly depend on fisheries for self-consumption. Here, we first aim to characterize

Abstract Lice of the family Echinophthiriidae are obligate and permanent ectoparasites of pinnipeds and sea otters. Morphological, ecological, and behavioral adaptations have enabled them to survive in their amphibian hosts. However, it has been shown experimentally that the eggs do not survive submerged. This physiological limitation restricts their reproductive events to the terrestrial periods of
