Ocean warming is projected to threaten fisheries, but the extent varies greatly between models due a poor understanding of how complex food webs respond change. Likewise, inequalities in socioeconomic dependence on fisheries and uneven distributions global fishing effort make it unclear distribution declines could translate into impacts. Here we developed quantitative IPCC tripartite risk mapping approach, combining hazard (projected pelagic fish decline), exposure (present day intensity),...
Plankton, the primary energy resource in marine food webs, respond rapidly to environmental change, making them useful indicators of shifts ecosystem structure or function. Categorising plankton into groups, “lifeforms”, can be for understanding ecological patterns associated with change. While environment is changing due anthropogenic pressures, relative influence these pressures across community remains uncertain, impacting our ability account changes sustainable management. Using...
Plankton monitoring surveys inform indicators of Good Environmental Status (GES) for pelagic habitats in OSPAR and UK Marine Strategy biodiversity assessments. These reveal that the Northeast Atlantic are not GES, likely driven by climate change direct human pressures. By understanding societal consequences meeting policymakers better guided when implementing management measures – a key aim ecosystem-based management. To do this, it is first necessary to make links between plankton...
Anthropogenic pressures such as climate change and nutrient pollution are causing rapid changes in the marine environment. The relative influence of drivers on plankton community remains uncertain, this uncertainty is limiting our understanding sustainable levels human pressures. Plankton primary energy resource food webs respond rapidly to environmental changes, representing useful indicators shifts ecosystem structure function. Categorising into broad groups with similar characteristics,...
The modification of the carboxyl groups subunits bovine luteinizing hormone to neutral derivatives by carbodiimide-mediated coupling with glycine methyl ester has been studied. modified alpha subunit, which 8 residues incorporated, will no longer recombine native beta (hormone-specific) but 6 7 esters yield a partially active hormone. Derivatization intact results in dissociation together formation major side product is covalently cross-linked. Significant cross-linked was not obtained...
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey is a valuable resource for mapping changes in plankton distribution and understanding harmful algal ecology because of its breadth longevity. Preservation methods with formalin degrade DNA, making it difficult to use as molecular tool archived marine samples. DNA was extracted from CPR samples immediately after collection, seven months later nine years storage cruise track along the Iberian Peninsula. PCR reactions performed nine-year timepoint...
<p>Plastic pollution is widely recognised to be an emerging ecological disaster (Eriksen et al., 2014). While a steady increase in the amount of marine litter being observed, plastics constitute some 60 80% total waste (Miladinova 2020), which drift and settle through sinking beaching. The Black Sea, semi-enclosed basin with numerous inflows by huge watershed rivers, only one spillway at Bosporus, ideal test area for development detection tracking technologies. Although...
