Journal ArticleDOI
Indirect effects of contaminants in aquatic ecosystems.
TL;DR: Trophic cascades were found in 60% of the manipulative studies and, most commonly, primary producers increased in abundance when grazers were selectively eliminated by contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coastal eutrophication as a driver of salt marsh loss
Linda A. Deegan,David Samuel Johnson,David Samuel Johnson,R. Scott Warren,Bruce J. Peterson,John W. Fleeger,Sergio Fagherazzi,Wilfred M. Wollheim +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that nutrient levels commonly associated with coastal eutrophication increased above-ground leaf biomass, decreased the dense, below-ground biomass of bank-stabilizing roots, and increased microbial decomposition of organic matter, demonstrating that nutrient enrichment can be a driver of salt marsh loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oil Impacts on Coastal Wetlands: Implications for the Mississippi River Delta Ecosystem after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
Irving A. Mendelssohn,Gary L. Andersen,Donald M. Baltz,Rex H. Caffey,Kevin R. Carman,John W. Fleeger,Samantha B. Joye,Qianxin Lin,Edward Maltby,Edward B. Overton,Lawrence P. Rozas +10 more
TL;DR: A basic overview of the chemistry and biology of oil spills in coastal wetlands and an assessment of the potential and realized effects on the ecological condition of the Mississippi River Delta and its associated flora and fauna are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microhabitat use by marsh-edge fishes in a Louisiana estuary
TL;DR: This article used a drop sampler to characterize use of the marsh-edge ecotone by small fishes along two transects running inland from the Gulf of Mexico for ca. 25 km in Louisiana's Barataria-Caminada Bay System.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoupling of Molecular and Morphological Evolution in Deep Lineages of a Meiobenthic Harpacticoid Copepod
TL;DR: It is concluded that C. deitersi in North America is composed of at least four separate species by the genealogical concordance, phylogenetic, and morphological-species criteria.
