Increased cellular brevetoxins in the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis under CO2 limitation of growth rate: Evolutionary implications and potential effects on bloom toxicity

LIMNOLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY, 59(2), 560–577.

By: D. Hardison*, W. Sunda*, P. Tester *, D. Shea n  & R. Litaker*

Contributors: D. Ransom Hardison*, W. Sunda*, P. Tester *, D. Shea n  & R. Wayne Litaker*

TL;DR: The results indicate that anthropogenic increases in CO2 concentrations in surface ocean waters are likely to increase the toxicity of K. brevis blooms due to potential increases in bloom biomass yield and to a greater likelihood that dense blooms will become N or P limited rather than CO2 limited.

Lrp13 is a novel vertebrate lipoprotein receptor that binds vitellogenins in teleost fishes

JOURNAL OF LIPID RESEARCH, 55(11), 2287–2295.

By: B. Reading n , N. Hiramatsu*, J. Schilling n, K. Molloy n, N. Glassbrook n, H. Mizuta *, W. Luo *, D. Baltzegar n ...

author keywords: affinity purification; egg; endocytosis; oocyte; oogenesis; ovary; vitellogenesis; very low density lipoprotein receptor; yolk; low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 13
MeSH headings : Animals; Bass; Cloning, Molecular; Fish Proteins / chemistry; Fish Proteins / genetics; Fish Proteins / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation; Humans; Intracellular Space / metabolism; Protein Binding; Protein Transport; Receptors, Lipoprotein / chemistry; Receptors, Lipoprotein / genetics; Receptors, Lipoprotein / metabolism; Vitellogenins / metabolism
TL;DR: The Lrp13 appears to function as a vitellogenin receptor and may be an important mediator of yolk formation in fishes and other oviparous vertebrates and the presence of lp13 orthologs in mammals suggests that this lipoprotein receptor is widely distributed among vertebrates, where it may generally play a role in lipop protein metabolism.

BIOLOGY LETTERS, 10(11).

By: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

Contributors: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

author keywords: climate change; urban ecology; ecosystem services; parasitoid
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Control Agents; Cities; Global Warming; Hemiptera / growth & development; Hemiptera / parasitology; Insecta / growth & development; Insecta / physiology; Larva / growth & development; Larva / physiology; North Carolina; Nymph / growth & development; Nymph / parasitology; Pest Control, Biological; Trees / growth & development
TL;DR: Evidence that a pest develops earlier due to urban warming but that phenology of its parasitoid community does not similarly advance is provided, associated with greater egg production that likely leads to more pests on trees. (via Semantic Scholar)

Does landscape context mediate the nature of density dependence for a coral reef fish?

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 24(7), 1833–1841.

By: L. Yeager*, E. Stoner*, M. Zapata* & C. Layman n

author keywords: artificial reef; competition; condition; food web; group behavior; Haemulon plumierii; seagrass
MeSH headings : Animals; Conservation of Natural Resources; Coral Reefs; Environmental Monitoring; Fisheries; Fishes / physiology; Population Density
TL;DR: Evidence of inverse density dependence is found, where individual condition was positively related to conspecific density; landscape context had little effect, suggesting over-harvest may have detrimental effects on wild populations that extend beyond mere reductions in population size, especially for group-living species.

Diet variation of a generalist fish predator, grey snapper Lutjanus griseus, across an estuarine gradient: trade-offs of quantity for quality?

JOURNAL OF FISH BIOLOGY, 85(2), 264–277.

By: L. Yeager*, C. Layman n & C. Hammerschlag-Peyer*

author keywords: compensatory feeding; food web; growth; prey quality; prey quantity
MeSH headings : Animals; Diet; Estuaries; Feeding Behavior; Florida; Food Chain; Perciformes / growth & development; Perciformes / physiology; Predatory Behavior; Rivers
TL;DR: Diet, prey quality and growth for a generalist fish predator, grey snapper Lutjanus griseus, at five sites across an estuarine gradient in the Loxahatchee River estuary indicate that L.griseus may be able to compensate for lower quality prey upstream by consuming more, and thus individuals are able to maintain similar levels of energy balance and growth rates across the estuarist gradient.
