Competition and fouling defence are important traits that may facilitate invasions by non-indigenous species. The 'novel weapons hypothesis' (NWH) predicts that the invasive success of exotic species is closely linked to the possession of chemical defence compounds that the recipient community in the new range is not adapted to. In order to assess whether chemical defence traits contribute to i...

The invasiveness of algal species can be facilitated by chemo-ecological traits that allow the establishment of invasive species in a highly competitive environment. Anti-bacterial, anti-quorum sensing, anti-diatom and anti-larval properties of the invasive brown macroalga Sargassum muticum and three native Sargassum species from Oman waters were compared in laboratory and field experiments to ...

The presence of diverse biological substrates adds complexity to coastal landscapes and increases the number of ecological niches that can be used by the mobile epifauna. Studies on the influence of structural complexity have focused mainly on algal host species, but there is little information about the influence of intraspecific structural variation on the associated mobile epifauna. In this ...

Abstract Bacillus coagulans T1.2, an indigenous bacterium from shrimp ponds in East Lampung, has been found to reduce total ammonia nitrogen (TAN). The purpose of this study was know the effectivity immobilization bacterial by sodium alginate marine brown algae wastewater pollution culture. algae, Sargassum sp. and Padina sp., were collected Pesisir Barat Ketapang beach, Lampung. Alginate extra...
