Exposure of marine megafauna to cumulative anthropogenic threats in north-west Australia Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 (Ref: 17029)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

As the use of coastal and offshore environments expands, there is a need to better understand the exposure of marine megafauna to anthropogenic activities that potentially threaten their populations. Individual satellite telemetry studies are often hampered by small sample sizes…

DNA evidence of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) feeding on red crab (Gecarcoidea natalis) larvae at Christmas Island, Australia Marine and Freshwater Research, 2009 (Ref: 13835)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are thought to aggregate in nearshore waters around Christmas Island … (105◦37E, 10◦29S) to consume the marine larvae of the endemic red land crab (Gecarcoidea natalis). However, there … have been no direct observations of sharks feeding on crab larvae.

Colwellia demingiae sp. nov., Colwellia hornerae sp. nov., Colwellia rossensis sp. nov. and Colwellia psychrotropica sp. nov.: psychrophilic Antarctic species with the ability to synthesize docosahexaenoic acid (22:6w3) International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1998 (Ref: 8532)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

As part of a general survey of the biodiversity and inherent ecophysiology of bacteria associated with coastal Antarctic sea-ice diatom assemblages, eight strains were identified by 16S rRNA sequence analysis as belonging to the genus Colwellia. The isolates were non-pigmented…

Glaciecola punicea gen. nov., sp. nov. and Glaciecola pallidula gen. nov., sp. nov.: psychrophilic bacteria from Antarctic sea-ice habitats. International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1998 (Ref: 8531)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A group of pigmented, psychrophilic, strictly aerobic chemoheterotrophs isolated from sea-ice cores collected from coastal areas of eastern Antarctica was found to represent a novel 16S rRNA lineage within the gamma subclass of the Proteobacteria, adjacent to the genus Alteromonas.

Psychroflexus torquis gen. nov., sp. nov., a psychrophilic species from Antarctic sea ice, and reclassification of Flavobacterium gondwanense (Dobson et al. 1993) as Psychroflexus gondwanense gen. nov., comb. nov. Microbiology, 1998 (Ref: 8530)
Category 3: Article

A group of sea-ice-derived psychrophilic bacterial strains possessing the unusual ability to synthesize the polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5w3) and arachidonic acid (20:4w6) belong to the Family Flavobacteriaceae (Flexibacter–Bacteroides–Flavobacterium phylum)…

Community structure and psychrophily in Antarctic ecosystems Microbial Biosystems: New Frontiers, Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Microbial Ecology, Halifax, Canada, 2000 (Ref: 9879)
Category 3: Poster

Molecular based and traditional microbiological techniques were utilized to determine thestructure and degree of cold adaptation of a variety of Antarctic bacterial communities.
