Vibrio cholerae a major health problem in developing countries because of its ability to cause the disease cholera in humans. As V. cholerae bacteria are common inhabitants of temperate marine and brackish water environments worldwide, they are subject to intense top-down pressure by amoebae, which can affect their survival and...

In the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), a region of high fishing activity, olive ridley (Lepidochelis olivacea) and other sea turtles are accidentally caught in fishing nets with tuna and other animals. To date, the interaction between fishing activity, ocean conditions and sea turtle incidental catch in the ETP has been...

The estuarine-dependent brown shrimp, Farfantepenaeus aztecus, is a significant commercial fishery and important species in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) ecosystem as well as being a key component in energy transfer between benthic and pelagic food web systems. Because of the economical and ecological importance of brown shrimp, we developed...

Few studies have been published on the excretion rates of parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and hydroxy-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OH-PAHs) following oral exposure. This study investigated metabolism and excretion rates of 4 parent PAHs and 10 OH-PAHs after the consumption of smoked salmon. Nine members of the Confederated Tribes of...

Understanding genetic differentiation and speciation processes in marine species with high
dispersal capabilities is challenging. The Chilean dolphin, Cephalorhynchus eutropia, is the
only endemic cetacean of Chile and is found in two different coastal habitats: a northern
habitat with exposed coastlines, bays and estuaries from Valparaíso (33°02' S) to Chiloé...

Marine sponges are vital components of benthic and coral reef ecosystems, providing
shelter and nutrition for many organisms. In addition, sponges act as an essential carbon
and nutrient link between the pelagic and benthic environment by filtering large quantities
of seawater. Many sponge species harbor a diverse microbial community (including...

BACKGROUND: The giant lizard of La Gomera (Gallotia bravoana), is an endemic lacertid of this Canary Island that
lives confined to a very restricted area of occupancy in a steep cliff, and is catalogued as Critically Endangered by
IUCN. We present the first population genetic analysis of the wild population...
