Extracellular electron transfer by the cultured coral photosymbiont Symbiodinium microadriaticumNARA Subscribed
Photosynthetic microorganisms may show extracellular electron transfer (EET), in which some of the electrons generated by photosynthesis or respiration are lost from the cell. Most studies have focussed on cyanobacteria, with very few on eukaryotic algae. Here we demonstrate EET from the eukaryotic dinoflagellate alga Symbiodinium microadriaticum , a species that can form symbiosis with corals and other Cnidaria. We show that...
Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguillaNARA Subscribed
Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths. Non‐lethal tools for accurate sex identification in this species are therefore required. Here,...
The recovery of degraded peatlands can make significant contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and climate warming. This study examines restoration techniques on shallow ex-milled peatland and intensively grazed pasture on deeper peat, both subject to prior drainage. Carbon greenhouse gases (GHGs) were monitored for 3 years following restoration treatment. After drainage-blocking measures, the ex-milled peatland wa...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
