TL;DR: The present study provides a practical benchmark, which allows comparison of microalgal production systems with different footprints, as well as terrestrial systems, to find the organism that had the best dry biomass and/or lipid production profile in large‐scale cultures.
Abstract: Biomass and lipid productivity, lipid content, and quantitative and qualitative lipid composition are critical parameters in selecting microalgal species for commercial scale-up production. This study compares lipid content and composition, and lipid and biomass productivity during logarithmic, late logarithmic, and stationary phase of Nannochloropsis sp., Isochrysis sp., Tetraselmis sp., and Rhodomonas sp. grown in L1-, f/2-, and K-medium. Of the tested species, Tetraselmis sp. exhibited a lipid productivity of 3.9–4.8 g m−2 day−1 in any media type, with comparable lipid productivity by Nannochloropsis sp. and Isochrysis sp. when grown in L1-medium. The dry biomass productivity of Tetraselmis sp. (33.1–45.0 g m−2 day−1) exceeded that of the other species by a factor 2–10. Of the organisms studied, Tetraselmis sp. had the best dry biomass and/or lipid production profile in large-scale cultures. The present study provides a practical benchmark, which allows comparison of microalgal production systems with different footprints, as well as terrestrial systems.

TL;DR: This review will briefly explore major representatives of metallic biomaterials along with the key existing and emerging strategies for surface and bulk modification used to improve biointegration, mechanical strength and flexibility of biometals, and discuss their compatibility with the concept of 3D printing.
Abstract: Metallic biomaterials are engineered systems designed to provide internal support to biological tissues and they are being used largely in joint replacements, dental implants, orthopaedic fixations and stents. Higher biomaterial usage is associated with an increased incidence of implant-related complications due to poor implant integration, inflammation, mechanical instability, necrosis and infections, and associated prolonged patient care, pain and loss of function. In this review, we will briefly explore major representatives of metallic biomaterials along with the key existing and emerging strategies for surface and bulk modification used to improve biointegration, mechanical strength and flexibility of biometals, and discuss their compatibility with the concept of 3D printing.

TL;DR: This exercise assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on marine megafauna, which include a broad range of birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish, and shows that the questions have broad applicability to other taxa, including terrestrial animals, flying insects, and swimming invertebrates.
Abstract: It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on marine megafauna, which include a broad range of birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish. Research on these taxa has both underpinned many of the recent technical developments and led to fundamental discoveries in the field. We show that the questions have broad applicability to other taxa, including terrestrial animals, flying insects, and swimming invertebrates, and, as such, this exercise provides a useful roadmap for targeted deployments and data syntheses that should advance the field of movement ecology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a database of globally distributed stomatal conductance (g(s) obtained in the field for a wide range of plant functional types (PFTs) and biomes.
Abstract: Stomatal conductance (g(s)) is a key land-surface attribute as it links transpiration, the dominant component of global land evapotranspiration, and photosynthesis, the driving force of the global carbon cycle. Despite the pivotal role of g(s) in predictions of global water and carbon cycle changes, a global-scale database and an associated globally applicable model of g(s) that allow predictions of stomatal behaviour are lacking. Here, we present a database of globally distributed g(s) obtained in the field for a wide range of plant functional types (PFTs) and biomes. We find that stomatal behaviour differs among PFTs according to their marginal carbon cost of water use, as predicted by the theory underpinning the optimal stomatal model(1) and the leaf and wood economics spectrum(2,3). We also demonstrate a global relationship with climate. These findin g(s) provide a robust theoretical framework for understanding and predicting the behaviour of g(s) across biomes and across PFTs that can be applied to regional, continental and global-scale modelling of ecosystem productivity, energy balance and ecohydrological processes in a future changing climate.

01 Jan 2002TL;DR: It is the combination of these two factors, origins and maintenance, that offers the clearest understanding of the nature of biogeographic patterns in reef organisms.
Abstract: [Extract] Coral reefs have been around since the Ordovician
(Wood, 1999), and throughout their 450-million year history they have shared the oceans with fishes. Modern scleractinian-dominated coral reefs and their associated fish faunas represent only the latest manifestation of a reefal ecosystem. It is almost self-evident that history is important to coral reefs, as the reefs build on the skeletons of past generations. But what of the associated fauna? Today, fishes form an integral part of
reef communities, modifying benthic community structure and forming a major conduit for the movement of energy and material. Like the reefs, reef fish faunas have been shaped by history, but this historical influence may not be as apparent. Although it is becoming increasingly clear that history plays an important role in structuring local communities (Rickleffs and Schluter, 1993a), its influence on the ecology and biogeography
of fishes on coral reefs remains largely unknown.
Most studies of reef systems have addressed the question of how biogeographic and ecological patterns are maintained; relatively few consider how these patterns arose or their consequences. However, it is the combination of these two factors, origins and maintenance, that offers the clearest understanding of the nature of biogeographic patterns in reef organisms. Studies of the history of coral reefs have been largely restricted to documenting the history of the reef builders, which have left an outstanding fossil record (Wood,
1999). The history of associated faunas, and fish in particular, is less clear. However, this is changing, primarily as a result of phylogenetic analyses of reef fishes and from a reappraisal of the fossil record.
