Prevalence of skeletal tissue growth anomalies in a scleractinian coral: Turbinaria mesenterina of Malvan Marine Sanctuary, eastern Arabian Sea
(Inter Research, 2016)
Skeletal tissue growth anomalies (STAs) of corals are capable of causing considerable degradation of reef health. This study is the first report of growth anomalies in Turbinaria corals and the first descriptive study of ...
Biodiversity and biogeography pattern of benthic communities in the coastal basins of India
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Our understanding of coastal biogeography patterns is presently limited to certain regions and marine groups. Comprehending large-scale patterns and their underlying predictors is critical due to the changing environmental ...
Structure and function of nematode communities across the Indian western continental margin and its oxygen minimum zone
(Copernicus Publications, 2016)
We studied patterns of nematode distribution along the western Indian continental margin to determine the influence of habitat heterogeneity and low oxygen levels on the community’s taxonomic and functional structure. A ...
Community structure and coral health status across the depth gradients of Grande Island, Central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2016)
The Grande Island, located at the central west coast of India is one of the less studied coral reef systems in India. In this study, we provide a comprehensive description of the coral community structure and health status ...
Testing the efficiency of temperate benthic biotic indices in assessing the ecological status of a tropical ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2016)
The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the ecological status of tropical coastal waters using the temperate benthic indices and examine the effect of seasonal variability on the performance of benthic indices. ...
Macrobenthic community structure response to coastal hypoxia off Southeastern Arabian sea
(Omics, 2016)
The analysis of changes in macrobenthic community using multivariate statistical techniques has been applied to find the structure by the environmental condition. The aim of the study was to evaluate macrofaunal community ...
Glutathione S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and lipid peroxidation as a biomarkers of oxidative stress in snails: A review
(University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 2016)
Antioxidant defense plays a crucial role in the response of an organism to pollutants. Several processes stimulate the production of free radicals or deplete the antioxidant defense, which if not regulated properly, may ...
DNA damage and oxidative stress in marine gastropod Morula granulata exposed to phenanthrene
(Springer, 2016)
DNA damage and oxidative stress in marine gastropod Morula granulata was measured after in vivo exposure to four different concentrations (10, 25, 50, and 100 mikrog/L) of phenanthrene. Comet assay was used for measurement ...
