Exploring the role of advanced oxidation processes in microplastics pollution research: A systematic literature reviewNARA Subscribed
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are a promising tool for microplastics (MPs) pollution research, with applications in aging, degradation, digestion, adsorption, and desorption processes. Therefore, this review aimed to identify the main applications of AOPs and the findings from MPs studies. The systematic literature review was conducted using the Web of Science database, which retrieved 388 articles between 1990 and Novem...
The endosymbiosis between cnidarians and photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the Symbiodiniaceae family forms the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. Prolonged environmental shifts can disrupt the cnidarian–Symbiodiniaceae partnership, triggering dysbiosis and coral bleaching and ultimately resulting in coral starvation, mortality, and the collapse of reef ecosystems. Despite its significance, critical gaps remain in our unders...
Species-specific patterns of population genetic structure differ on a microgeographic scaleNARA Subscribed
Coral exhibits substantial variation in pelagic larval duration, dispersal range, and population connectivity. In this study, we used reduced representation genotyping to compare the genetic structure of Caribbean reef-building species along the southeastern Dominican Republic coastline to assess connectivity within the likely dispersal kernel. Despite relatively small geographic distance between reefs, species-specific differ...
Microhabitat acclimatization alters sea anemone–algal symbiosis and thermal tolerance across the intertidal zoneNARA Subscribed
Contemporary symbioses in extreme environments can give an insight into mechanisms that stabilize species interactions during environmental change. The intertidal sea anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima , engages in a nutritional symbiosis with microalgae similar to tropical coral, but withstands more intense environmental fluctuations during tidal inundations. In this study, we compare baseline symbiotic traits and their sensi...
Microbial degradation represents an eco-friendly alternative to traditional physicochemical treatments in removing persistent and toxic environmental pollutants, including synthetic dyes (i.e., methylene blue, MB) employed in different industries. The exploitation of thermophilic bacilli, such as those isolated from the shallow hydrothermal vents of the Eolian Islands (Italy), could provide valuable resources for the treatment...
The ability for adaptation to track environmental change depends on how efficiently selection can act on heritable genetic variation. Complex life cycles may promote or constrain adaptation depending on the integration or independence of fitness-related traits over development. Reef-building corals exhibit life cycle complexity and are sensitive to increasing temperatures, highlighting the need to understand heritable potentia...
