Isolation, Structure Elucidation, and Synthesis of Natural Products from Marine Cyanobacteria
… crude extract from a cyanobacterium collected in Curacao showed selective affinity for the dopamine D<sub>5</sub> receptor in a screen against a panel of CNS receptors. Due to the high similarity of the D<sub>5</sub> and D<sub>1</sub> receptor, to date there are no known ligands that differentiate …

Carbon cycling in the Caribbean reef-building coral Orbicella: quantitative evidence for enzymatic control of skeletal density banding and coral-endosymbiont physiological plasticity during seasonal environmental change
… that corals, found on the leeward coast of Curacao in the Southern Caribbean Sea, manipulate cellular and protein expression of a versatile ectodermal cell, the chromatophore, specifically and plastically, to facilitate or inhibit light-capture by the coral’s photosynthetic endosymbiont, the …

Low Temperature Induction of Males and Other Developmental Anomalies in a Self-Fertilizing Hermaphroditic Fish Species
… numbers of males were reported on the island of Curacao in the 1970's, and males comprised up to 24% of the populations sampled on several Belize Cays during 1990-91. Hermaphrodites collected from one island, Twin Cays, proved to be heterozygous at mini-satellite loci when progeny tested and DNA …
