The chemical defense ecology of marine unicellular plankton: constraints, mechanisms, and impacts

The chemical defense ecology of marine unicellular plankton: constraints, mechanisms, and impacts.

The activities of unicellular microbes dominate the ecology of the marine environment, but the chemical signals that determine behavioral interactions are poorly known. In particular, chemical signals between microbial predators and prey contribute to food selection or avoidance and to defense, factors that probably affect trophic structure and such large-scale features as algal blooms. Using d...

The Relevance of Marine Chemical Ecology to Plankton and Ecosystem Function: An Emerging Field

Marine chemical ecology comprises the study of the production and interaction of bioactive molecules affecting organism behavior and function. Here we focus on bioactive compounds and interactions associated with phytoplankton, particularly bloom-forming diatoms, prymnesiophytes and dinoflagellates. Planktonic bioactive metabolites are structurally and functionally diverse and some may have mul...

Investigating the Relationship between Defense Mechanisms and Coronavirus Anxiety

The prevalence of Covid- 19 has had various economic, social, and psychological consequences. The aim of this Research was to study the relationship between Corona Disease Anxiety and Defense Mechanisms in the southern region of the country. For this purpose, a sample including adult male and female evaluated online by Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (Alipour, 1398) and the ِdefense mechanisms (And...
