Macrobenthic diversity and community structure at Cochin Port, an estuarine habitat along the southwest coast of India
(2020)
Estuarine habitats are highly dynamic owing to tidal and seasonal changes in physical and chemical properties, which, in turn, have a profound influence on the diversity and community structure of its living components. ...
Aerobic microbial communities in the sediments of a marine oxygen minimum zone
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020)
The ecology of aerobic microorganisms is never explored in marine oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) sediments. Here we reveal aerobic bacterial communities along ~3�m sediment-horizons of the eastern Arabian Sea OMZ. Sulfide-containing ...
A significant shift in particulate organic matter characteristics during flooding of River Krishna, eastern peninsular India
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2020)
Extremely heavy rainfall over a small, semi-arid section of the Indian Peninsula in October 2009, together with release of water from dams resulted in very severe flooding in River Krishna. The sources and type of organic ...
Bacterial Communities Associated With Healthy and Diseased (Skeletal Growth Anomaly) Reef Coral Acropora cytherea From Palk Bay, India
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)
Skeletal growth anomalies (SGA) are easily recognizable disease in reef-forming corals which drain energy from the host and end up with mortality. We collected mucus samples of healthy and SGA affected colonies of Acropora ...
Is the benthic index AMBI impervious to seasonality and data transformations while evaluating the ecological status of an anthropized monsoonal estuary?
(2020)
Benthic indices are a potential measure of a system's ecological quality status. It is vital for an efficient index to distinguish the anthropogenic effects from the natural stress associated with seasonality, especially ...
Variable protein expression in marine-derived filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum in response to varying copper concentrations and salinity
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020)
Copper is one of the essential trace dietary minerals for all living organisms, but is potentially toxic at higher concentrations, mainly due to the redox reactions in its transition state. Copper is one of the essential ...
Geochemical heterogeneity along the Vema Fracture Zone, Indian Ocean: Mixing of melts from the Reunion plume and the Central Indian Ridge
(2020)
We present here a scenario of magmatic and tectonic processes associated with the interaction between the Reunion mantle plume and the mantle beneath Central Indian Ridge (CIR) at the Vema Trench (VT) along the Vema Fracture ...
The Role of Salinity in the Southeastern Arabian Sea in Determining Monsoon Onset and Strength
(2020)
In this study, we examine the role of freshwater transported from the Bay of Bengal into the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) in determining both the timing of monsoon onset and the strength of the ensuing monsoon. To do ...
Generation studies on benthic amphipod- Quadrivisio bengalensis, Stebbing (Gammaridae) from the Kochin Estuary, Southwest coast of India
(2020)
Quadrivisio bengalensis (Stebbing Records of Indian Museum, 1, 159-161, 1907), a eurythermal (26.5-32.2 �C) and euryhaline (0.10-26.2 psu) tropical species, makes a profound contribution as a fodder organism to the benthic ...
Observed variability of the West India Coastal Current on the continental slope from 2009-2018
(2020)
We describe the variability of the West India Coastal Current (WICC) during October 2008 to October 2018 using data from ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) moorings deployed on the continental slope off the west coast ...
