Cichlid fishes as models of ecological diversification: patterns, mechanisms, and consequences
ED Burress - Hydrobiologia, 2015 - Springer
Cichlid fishes are hypothesized to encompass several independent adaptive radiations that
display increased diversification rates and impressive ecological heterogeneity. Here, I …

Macroalgae reveal nitrogen enrichment and elevated N: P ratios on the Belize Barrier Reef
BE Lapointe, A Tewfik, M Phillips - Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021 - Elsevier
Macroalgal blooms are increasing on the Belize Barrier Reef (BBR) as scleractinian coral
cover declines. Although some have attributed this to reduced grazing, the role of land …

Effects of terrestrial input on macrobenthic food webs of coastal sea are detected by stable isotope analysis in Gaeta Gulf
Stable isotope analysis (SIA) of carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) was used to analyse
the macrobenthic food web dynamics in the Gulf of Gaeta (Tyrrhenian sea, Central Italy) …
