Discovery of a new subclass of alpha-conotoxins in the venom of Conus australis
(Elsevier, 2014)
Cone snails (Conus sp.) are poisonous animals that can be found in all oceans where they developed a venomous strategy to prey or to defend. The venom of these species contains an undeniable source of unique and potent ...
Noctiluca and copepods grazing on the phytoplankton community in a nutrient-enriched coastal environment along the southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2017)
The relative grazing impact of Noctiluca scintillans (hereafter referred only Noctiluca) and copepods (Acrocalanus gracilis, Paracalanus parvus, Acartia danae and Oithona similis) on the phytoplankton community in an ...
Upwelling induced changes in the abundance and community structure of archaea and bacteria in a recurring mud bank along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2018)
The present study reports the influence of upwelling on the abundance and community structure of archaea and bacteria in a mud bank formed along the coastal waters of Alappuzha, the southwest coast of India. The signatures ...
Role of heavy metals in structuring the microbial community associated with particulate matter in a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2017)
Particulate matter (PM), which are chemically and biochemically complicated particles, accommodate a plethora of microorganisms. In the present study, we report the influence of heavy metal pollution on the abundance and ...
Distribution and contamination status of phthalic acid esters in the sediments of a tropical monsoonal estuary, Cochin - India
(Elsevier, 2018)
Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are a group of endocrine-disrupting chemicals listed as priority pollutants by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 2009). This study provides baseline information on seasonal ...
Influence of upwelling induced near shore hypoxia on the Alappuzha mud banks, South West Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
The results of the first time-series measurements spanning 18-weeks (22 April to 20 September 2014) from a coastal environment (Alappuzha, southwest India), where two process of upwelling and mud banks are concurrent during ...
Wave crest height distribution during the tropical cyclone period
(2020)
The wave crest height plays a vital role in designing both the fixed and floating marine structures. The present study examines the measured wave crest data at 18 m water depth off Visakhapatnam in the northwestern Bay of ...
Seasonal Variability in Fine Particulate Matter Water Content and Estimated pH over a Coastal Region in the Northeast Arabian Sea
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
The acidity of atmospheric particles can promote specific chemical processes that result in the production of extra condensed phases from lesser volatile species (secondary fine particulate matter), change the optical and ...
Environmental and human facets of the waterweed proliferation in a vast tropical Ramsar wetland - Vembanad lake system
(Springer, 2023)
The Vembanad Lake and its associated low-lying areas and network of canals (hereafter VBL) form the major part of India’s second-largest Ramsar wetland (1512 km2) located in Kerala State along India’s southwest coast. The ...
Geochemical tracing of synoptic scale modern dust transport over the Northeast Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon
(Elsevier, 2023)
During the Southwest monsoon (SWM), aeolian dust is mainly supplied via wet deposition over the northeast Arabian Sea (NEAS). To understand their impact on the biogeochemistry of the Arabian Sea, it is important to identify ...
