The relative importance of environment and dispersal related processes for community assembly has attracted great interest over recent decades, but few empirical studies from the marine/estuarine realm have examined the possible effects of these two types of factors in the same system. Importance of these processes was investigated in a hypothetical metacommunity of benthic invertebrates in 16 ...

Juvenile English sole (Parophrys vetulus) utilize Yaquina Bay, Oregon as a nursery during at least a portion of their first year of life, but the possibility of the existence of additional nursery grounds offshore has not previously been examined. During 1971, young-of-the-year first appeared in Yaquina Bay in February, were abundant from April to September, and most emigrated to offshore areas...

Debaryomyces hansenii J6 is a heavy-metal-tolerant, flavinogenic yeast isolated from a Swedish estuary. We present here the 11.63-Mb genome of this organism containing 5,717 open reading frames. Comparison with available Debaryomyces genomes demonstrated that J6 is closer to D. hansenii MTCC234 than D. fabry CBS789 and D. hansenii CBS767.

This study has compared the environmental characteristics of the basins and saline lower reaches of the tributaries of eight estuaries on the south coast of Western Australia, which differ in their degree of connectivity with the ocean. Although four estuaries between 115.1° and 121.8° E along that coast remain permanently open to the ocean, the others only become open when the volume of river ...

Magnetic properties of sediments were investigated in 7 gravity cores recovered along a transect of the Mandovi estuary, western India to understand their provenance and pollution. The maximum magnetic susceptibility of sediments was at least 6 times higher in the upper/middle estuary than in lower estuary/bay. The χfd% and χARM/SIRM of sediments indicated coarse, multi-domain and pseudo-single...

The loss of inorganic and organic material export and habitat produced by freshwater tidal wetlands is hypothesized to be an important contributing factor to the long-term decline in fishery production in San Francisco Estuary. However, due to the absence of freshwater tidal wetlands in the estuary, there is little information on the export of inorganic and organic carbon, nutrient or phytoplan...

We sought to investigate the impacts of nutrient loading, warming, and open-water boundary exchanges on a shallow estuary through idealized numerical model experiments. performed these simulations using stand-alone implementation Regional Ocean Modeling System-Row-Column AESOP biogeochemical in Chester River estuary, tributary within Chesapeake Bay estuarine complex. found that metabolic rates ...

This research investigated spatial-temporal variation in benthic bacterial community structure, rates of denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) processes and abundances of corresponding genes and transcripts at three sites-the estuary-head, mid-estuary and the estuary mouth (EM) along the nitrate gradient of the Colne estuary over an annual cycle. Denitrification...
