A fatty acid based bayesian approach for inferring diet in aquatic consumers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)We modified the stable isotope mixing model MixSIR to infer primary producer contributions to consumer diets based on their fatty acid composition. To parameterize the algorithm, we generated a ‘consumer-resource library’ ... -
“Candidatus Similichlamydia laticola”, a novel Chlamydia-like agent of epitheliocystis in sevenconsecutive cohorts of farmed Australian Barramundi, lates calcarifer (Bloch)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Six consecutively hatched cohorts and one cohort of pre-hatch eggs of farmed barramundi (Lates calcarifer) from south Australia were examined for Chlamydia-like organisms associated with epitheliocystis. To identify and ... -
Cardiac molecular-acclimation mechanisms in responseto swimming-induced exercise in atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Cardiac muscle is a principal target organ for exercise-induced acclimation mechanisms in fish and mammals, given that sustained aerobic exercise training improves cardiac output. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying ... -
COMplementary Primer ASymmetric PCR (COMPAS-PCR) Applied to the Identification of Salmo salar, Salmo trutta and Their Hybrids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Avoiding complementarity between primers when designing a PCR assay constitutes a central rule strongly anchored in the mind of the molecular scientist. 3'-complementarity will extend the primers during PCR elongation using ... -
Hypoxia tolerance and responses to hypoxic stress during heart and skeletal muscle inflammation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) is associated with Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) infection and is an important disease in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture. Since PRV infects erythrocytes and farmed ... -
Marine litter distribution and density in European seas, from the shelves to deep basins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Anthropogenic litter is present in all marine habitats, from beaches to the most remote points in the oceans. On the seafloor, marine litter, particularly plastic, can accumulate in high densities with deleterious consequences ... -
Probing the Rare Biosphere of the North-West Mediterranean Sea: An Experiment with High Sequencing Effort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)High-throughput sequencing (HTS) techniques have suggested the existence of a wealth of species with very low relative abundance: the rare biosphere. We attempted to exhaustively map this rare biosphere in two water samples ... -
Rapid expansion of the invasive oyster Crassostrea gigas at its northern distribution limit in Europe: Naturally dispersed or introduced?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, was introduced to Europe for aquaculture purposes, and has had a rapid and unforeseen northward expansion in northern Europe. The recent dramatic increase in number of C. gigas ... -
Re-Meandering of lowland streams: Will disobeying the laws of geomorphology have ecological consequences?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)We evaluated the restoration of physical habitats and its influence on macroinvertebrate community structure in 18 Danish lowland streams comprising six restored streams, six streams with little physical alteration and six ... -
The influence of physical factors on kelp and sea urchin distribution in previously and still grazed areas in the NE Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The spatial distribution of kelp (Laminaria hyperborea) and sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) in the NE Atlantic are highly related to physical factors and to temporal changes in temperature. On a large scale, ... -
Use of High Throughput Sequencing and Light Microscopy Show Contrasting Results in a Study of Phytoplankton Occurrence in a Freshwater Environment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Assessing phytoplankton diversity is of primary importance for both basic and applied ecological studies. Following the advances in molecular methods, phytoplankton studies are switching from using classical microscopy to ... -
Variability in the anatoxin gene clusters of Cuspidothrix issatschenkoi from Germany, New Zealand, China and Japan
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Anatoxin-a and homoanatoxin-a are neurotoxic cyanotoxins produced by benthic and planktonic cyanobacteria worldwide. These toxins are produced by the cyanobacterial genera Dolichospermum, Cuspidothrix, Phormidium, Oscillatoria, ... -
Variability in the sxt Gene Clusters of PSP Toxin Producing Aphanizomenon gracile Strains from Norway, Spain, Germany and North America
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxin production has been detected worldwide in the cyanobacterial genera Anabaena, Lyngbya, Scytonema, Cuspidothrix and Aphanizomenon. In Europe Aphanizomenon gracile and Cuspidothrix ... -
Water-borne pharmaceuticals reduce phenotypic diversity and response capacity of natural phytoplankton communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Chemical micropollutants occur worldwide in the environment at low concentrations and in complex mixtures, and how they affect the ecology of natural systems is still uncertain. Dynamics of natural communities are driven ...
