As coral reefs experience dramatic declines in cover throughout the tropics, there is an urgent need to understand role that non-reef habitats, such as mangroves, play ecological niche of corals. Mangrove habitats present a challenge reef-dwelling corals because they can differ dramatically from adjacent reef with respect key environmental parameters, light. Because variation light within known...

As part of ongoing efforts to understand, document, and conserve the flora southeastern United States, we make new combinations accord with our generic taxonomy, name a hybrid, re-recognize species relegated synonymy in recent decades, lectotypify generally clarify nomenclatural issues several genera, taxonomy distributions species, report important current distribution records. In Doellingeria...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different fungal species on metal uptake from paper sludge by Hemarthria compressa L. Paper (PS) in various concentrations (0, 30% and 60%) were used with four treatments two (F0 = Control, F1 Aspergillus niger, F2 Trichoderma pseudokoningii, F3 A. niger + T. pseudokoningii). as rooting medium steadily influenced growth physio-biochem...

The green tide in the Southern Yellow Sea which has been erupting continuously for 14 years. Dominant species of free-floating Ulva early stage macroalgae bloom were compressa , flexuosa prolifera and linza along coast Jiangsu Province. In present study, we carried out comparative studies on complete mitochondrion genomes four kinds bloom-forming algae, provided standard morphological character...

The main goal of this research was to obtain baseline field data of the composition of sponges, corals, and gorgonian assemblages that can be used as a reference for future analyses of anthropogenic impact. We tested the hypothesis that relatively homogeneous and well preserved reef units can present notable natural variability in the composition of their communities which are unassociated with...
