The value of distinguishing native from nonnative invasive species has recently been questioned. However, this dichotomy is important for understanding whether a species' successful dominance is caused by introductions, changing environmental conditions that facilitate an existing population, or both processes. We highlight the importance of knowing the origin of hard-to-detect invasive microor...

Objectives Sardinia populations experienced continuous shortage of water resources for thousands of years. To solve this problem, during 1950-1980, the main rivers were dammed creating 45 reservoirs which rapidly became eutrophic or hypertrophic, with toxic cyanobacterial blooms and a generally poor water quality. In order to investigate relations between some cancers occurrence and drinking ...

Poisoning of livestock by toxic cyanobacteria was first reported in the 19th century, and throughout the 20th century cyanobacteria-related poisonings of livestock and wildlife in all continents have been described. Some mass mortality events involving unrelated fauna in prehistoric times have also been attributed to cyanotoxin poisoning; if correct, this serves as a reminder that toxic cyanoba...

Understanding oceanic primary production on a global scale can be enhanced by methods that are able to automatically track phytoplankton blooms from color satellite images. In this paper, unsupervised clustering and rule learning are combined to track green river, a plume of discolored water that forms every March-May offshore along the edge of the west Florida Shelf, from the Sea Viewing Wide ...

Traditional OA systems are not as suitable for aligning LOD ontology schemas; for example, equivalence relations are limited among LOD concepts so that OA systems for LOD ontology alignment also find subclass and superclass relations. Four recent approaches for LOD ontology alignment are BLOOMS (BL) [1] and BLOOMS+ [2], AgreementMaker (AM) [3], WikiMatch (WM) [4], and Holistic Concept Mapping (...
