To clarify the effects of temperature on the recruitment of chub mackerel ( Scomber japonicus ) in the North Pacific, we investigated the influence of winter surface temperature ( WST ) on spawners at the time of maturity around the spawning grounds and the influence of ambient spring temperature on larvae using estimated temperature ( ET ) obtained from particle tracking experiments. We found a significant positive correlatio...

Summary Chytridiomycota, often referred to as chytrids, can be virulent parasites with the potential to inflict mass mortalities on hosts, causing e.g. changes in phytoplankton size distributions and succession, and the delay or suppression of bloom events. Molecular environmental surveys have revealed an unexpectedly large diversity of chytrids across a wide range of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. As a result, scientific inter...
