Petasaria heterolepis (Prymnesiaceae) from the southern Indian Ocean
(Micropaleontology Press, 2015)Sea surface and sub-surface (0-110m) water samples were collected from the Southern Indian Ocean between 39°S and 65°S (along ~48°E and 57.3°E) during the austral summer of 2010 which yielded Petasaria heterolepis Out of ... -
Trigonium curvatus sp nov and Trigonium arcticum (Bacillariophyceae) from the surface sediments of Prydz Bay, east Antarctica
(Micropaleontology Press, 2015)Here we propose a new species of genus Trigonium namely Trigonium curvatus from the surface sediments of coastal Antarctica A comparative study was done between Trigonium curvatus and Trigonium arcticum to find out the ... -
Towards a natural classification and backbone tree for Sordariomycete
(Springer, 2015)Sordariomycetes is one of the largest classes of Ascomycota and is characterised by perithecial ascomata and inoperculate unitunicate asci The class includes many important plant pathogens, as well as endophytes, saprobes, ... -
Status and review of health of Indian coral reefs
(Department of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries University of Kerala, 2015)Status of reef health incorporating species-wise cover of scleractinians has been reported covering 61 stations in 29 reef locations of the four major reef regions in India as of March 2011, alongside a review of available ... -
Differential bleaching of corals based on El Nino type and intensity in the Andaman Sea, southeast Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2016)The Andaman coral reef region experienced mass bleaching events during 1998 and 2010. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the El Nino in the coral reef bleaching events of the Andaman region. Both Nino ... -
Moult-inhibiting fusion protein augments while polyclonal antisera attenuate moult stages and duration in Penaeus monodon
(Elsevier, 2016)Moulting in crustaceans is regulated by moult-inhibiting hormone (MIH) of the CHH family neuropeptides. The inhibitory functions of MIH have pivotal roles in growth and reproduction of Penaeus monodon. In this study, we ... -
A maritime archaeological exploration along the Narmada estuary, west coast of India
(Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies, 2016)A coastal exploration along the estuary of the River Narmada yielded the evidence of a port in Bharuch. Several early historic sites are noted along the down-stream of the River Narmada. Interestingly, there is a temple ... -

Effects of bottom water dissolved oxygen variability on copper and lead fractionation in the sediments across the oxygen minimum zone, western continental margin of India
(Elsevier, 2016)This study describes the effect of varying bottom-water oxygen concentration on geochemical fractionation (operational speciation) of Cu and Pb in the underneath sediments across the oxygen minimum zone (Arabian Sea) in ... -
Dominant role of winds near Sri Lanka in driving seasonal sea level variations along the west coast of India
(American Geophysical Union Publications, 2016)The strong seasonal cycle of sea level along the west coast of India (WCI) has important consequences for ecosystem and fisheries, and the Lakshadweep high/low in the southeast Arabian Sea is important for fisheries and ... -
Coupling of bacterial nitrification with denitrification and anammox supports N removal in intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France)
(Elsevier, 2016)Microbial activity measurements and molecular approaches were combined to study temporal variation in nitrogen (N) removal mechanisms from muddy and sandy intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France). Stable isotopes ... -
Assessment of heavy metals and estimation of human health risk in Tilapia fish from Naik lake of Nagpur, India
(Academic Journals, 2016)Gills and muscles of Tilapia fish from Naik lake of Nagpur city were estimated for heavy metals (Zinc, Lead, Nickel, Copper and Cadmium) using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results ... -
Cyclone phyan-induced plankton community succession in the coastal waters off Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)Effects of the cyclonic storm Phyan, which hit the states of Goa and Maharashtra in western India during 9-12 November 2009, on coastal waters were studied. Mixing induced by the cyclone appreciably affected the vertical ... -
Copepod carcasses in a tropical estuary during different hydrographical settings
(Springer, 2016)Dead copepods (carcasses) are widespread in aquatic systems, but their scientific quantification is rare due to the difficulty in discriminating them from live ones. In this paper, we hypothesized that due to large spatial ... -

In situ oxygen isotope compositions in olivines of different types of cosmic spherules: An assessment of relationships to chondritic particles
(Elsevier, 2016)Cosmic spherules collected from deep sea sediments of the Indian Ocean having different textures such as scoriaceous (4), relict-bearing (16), porphyritic (35) and barred olivine (2) were investigated for petrography, as ... -
A new species of Heterospio (Annelida, longosomatidae) from the Indian Ocean
(2016)Knowledge about the taxonomy and distribution of the monogeneric polychaete family Longosomatidae Hartman, 1944 is limited in all parts of the world. A new species of the genus Heterospio Ehlers, 1874 (Annelida, Longosomatidae) ... -
Timing, cause and consequences of mid-Holocene climate transition in the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)We reconstruct centennial scale quantitative changes in surface seawater temperature (SST), evaporation-precipitation (from Mg/Ca and delta18O of surface dwelling planktic foraminifera), productivity (from relative abundance ... -
