Factors of ecological resilience in global temperate estuaries : a systematic review
Estuaries in temperate regions represent the confluence or transition of three major biomes: terrestrial ecosystems, freshwater outflows, and nearshore habitats and they face a variety of external stressors. To help mitigate the impacts of external stressors on temperate estuaries, this systematic …

Benthic Community Analysis of Hog Island Bay, Virginia
… a community spatial pattern not unlike other temperate estuaries. Outside of a sharp community transition existing in the vicinity of Great Machipongo Inlet, benthic assemblages throughout the study area generally exhibit subtle boundaries and a high degree of internal similarity.</p> <p>When …

Bacterioplankton in the Chesapeake Bay: Genetic diversity, population dynamics and community proteomics
… organisms endemic to the Bay or perhaps, large temperate estuaries. The bacterioplankton populations were monitored from 2002 to 2004 by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments. Remarkable seasonal shifts and repeatable annual patterns were …

Toxins and Toxicity from the Cosmopolitan, Bloom-Forming Dinoflagellate Karlodinium micrum
… isolates and bloom samples from US east coast estuaries from Maryland to Florida. Among US east coast isolates, a geographic strain variation appears to exist in that KmTx 1 has only been found in Maryland isolates while KmTx 2 has been found in all other isolates tested from North Carolina, …

Aspects of the ecology of migrant shorebirds (Aves: Charadrii) at the Berg River estuary, South Africa
… the field were less than those recorded in north temperate estuaries. The highest predation pressure by birds coincided with the period of highest production of the most important invertebrate prey. Because of low prey diversity in the estuary, there was considerable overlap in the prey species …

Impact of black swan grazing and anthropogenic contaminants on New Zealand seagrass meadows
… decline has been recorded in many New Zealand estuaries during the last century. Grazing by the black swan (Cygnus atratus) and anthropogenic contaminants resulting from catchment development are postulated to contribute to seagrass meadow loss in New Zealand and these factors have been …
