The potential benefits are promising for marine conservation, as the marine biome is frequently under‐surveyed due to its inaccessibility and the consequent high costs involved. With increasing numbers of eDNA‐related publications have come a wide array of capture and extraction methods. Without ...
Explain why bioaccumulation of toxins often is a more serious problem in marine food webs than in terrestrial food webs. Discuss how an organism (or population) in an ecosystem might be affected by the following abiotic factor: C...
Plastic debris in the ocean form a new ecosystem, termed 'plastisphere', which hosts a variety of marine organisms. Recent studies implemented DNA metabarcoding to characterize the taxonomic composition of the plastisphere in different areas of the world. In this study, we used a modified ...
‘A part of the data included in the database was obtained with support from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, through funding from the Australian Government Reef Program and from the Australian Institute of Marine Science’.
first, they move by jet propulsion: muscles fill their mantle with water and then expel it in a burst that propels them forward. Squids are the fastest of any marine creature. Some species can move in bursts up to 26 feet per second, and in sustained migrations for up 1 foot per ...
One tragic example of overexploitation is theSteller’s sea cow, which was discovered in 1741, overexploited, and then became extinct in 1768. The Stellar's sea cow was a relative of the manatee, although these slow-moving, herbivorous marine mammals could grow much larger - up to ten meter...
How many species are there in the group Marchantiophyta? How many species of marine amphibians are there? How many species are in the marine biome? How many species are in the class Chondrichthyes? How many species live in wetlands? How many marine species of the phylum Arthropoda are there...
The northern snakehead is a non-native species that is considered invasive because it is a top predator in most ecosystems where it is found. They not... See full answer below. only devour indigenous species of fish and crustaceans, but they can also be aggressive during the spawning season...

Our results underline major reshuffling across the overall biome along a 1,200 km high latitudinal gradient following progressively altered niche space of species. The observed community change is mostly attributable to shifts in climatic conditions relative to species’ niches. Quantifying these relativ...
