Benthic macroinvertebrates are commonly included in studies to monitor the effects of human and natural stresses on marine and estuarine ecosystems. There are several reasons for this. Macroinvertebrates (here defined as animals retained on a 0.5-mm mesh sieve) are abundant in most coastal and estuarine sediments, typically on the order of 103 to 104 per meter squared. Benthic communities are typically composed of many taxa from different phyla, and quantitative measures of community diversity (e.g., Rosenberg et al. 2004) and the relative abundance of animals with different feeding behaviors (e.g., Weisberg et al. 1997, Pelletier et al. 2010), can be used to evaluate ecosystem health. Because most benthic invertebrates are sedentary as adults, they function as integrators, over periods of months to years, of the properties of their environment.

  • Genetic Diversity in Centipedegrass [Eremochloa Ophiuroides (Munro
    Li et al. Horticulture Research (2020) 7:4 Horticulture Research https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-019-0228-1 www.nature.com/hortres REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access Genetic diversity in centipedegrass [Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro) Hack.] Jianjian Li1,2, Hailin Guo1,2, Junqin Zong1,2, Jingbo Chen1,2,DandanLi1,2 and Jianxiu Liu1,2 Abstract Genetic diversity is the heritable variation within and among populations, and in the context of this paper describes the heritable variation among the germplasm resources of centipedegrass. Centipedegrass is an important warm- season perennial C4 grass belonging to the Poaceae family in the subfamily Panicoideae and genus Eremochloa.Itis the only species cultivated for turf among the eight species in Eremochloa. The center of origin for this species is southern to central China. Although centipedegrass is an excellent lawn grass and is most widely used in the southeastern United States, China has the largest reserve of centipedegrass germplasm in the world. Presently, the gene bank in China holds ~200 centipedegrass accessions collected from geographical regions that are diverse in terms of climate and elevation. This collection appears to have broad variability with regard to morphological and physiological characteristics. To efficiently develop new centipedegrass varieties and improve cultivated species by fully utilizing this variability, multiple approaches have been implemented in recent years to detect the extent of variation and to unravel the patterns of genetic diversityamongcentipedegrasscollections. In this review, we briefly summarize research progress in investigating the diversity of centipedegrass using morphological, physiological, cytological, and molecular biological approaches, and present the current status of genomic studies in centipedegrass.

Para análise da abundância de recrutas, foram feitas raspagens destrutivas, eqüidistantes cerca 20 a 30 m entre si, utilizando quadrados de 20 X 20 cm nos bancos de P. perna , sendo as amostras inseridas no interior de sacos vedado para a retenção do macrozoobentos. Foram feitas análises referentes à riqueza baseadas no Índice de Margalef e de diversidade no índice de Shannon-Wiener, grau de constância, dos grupos tróficos e do índice de importância trófica. As classes Bivalvia e Gastropoda foram representadas por 18 famílias, 21 gêneros e 16 espécies. A classe Gastropoda representou 76,2% das espécies encontradas, enquanto Bivalvia representou 31,2%.

  • Holocene Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction Based on Microfossil Analysis of a Lake Sediment Core, Nong Han Kumphawapi, Udon Thani, Northeast Thailand
    Holocene Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction Based on Microfossil Analysis of a Lake Sediment Core, Nong Han Kumphawapi, Udon Thani, Northeast Thailand DAN PENNY, JOHN GRINDROD, AND PAUL BISHOP FEW LATE QUATERNARY palynological studies exist for continental Southeast Asia. This is despite the fact that there is good potential for the interpretation of former environments through palynological techniques, with the considerable physiographic and climatic diversity of the region reflected in discernible floristic patterns in the existing landscape. The potential scientific value of such studies is clear given the geographical significance of the region in terms of both climate, particularly with regards to the influence of the tropical monsoon belt, and archae­ ology, with intensive research in recent decades into the Holocene development of centers of habitation and agriculture. Most published Holocene palynological studies in Thailand derive from low­ land and coastal sites in southern and central parts of the country, with few avail­ able for inland northern regions. Detailed coastal and near-coastal studies include those at Chanthaburi in southeast Thailand (Pramojanee and Hastings 1983), Sat­ ingpra (Stargardt 1983) and Narathiwat in peninsula Thailand (Hastings 1983), and Khok Phanom Di (Maloney 1991) and Senanivate Pit (Sangsuwan et al. 1987) on the southern Central Plain. These pollen records indicate local environmental effects of Holocene sea-level change on vegetation communities, largely inter­ preted from fluctuations in the representation of pollen from mangrove com­ munities, and confirm the last sea-level transgression for the Gulf of Thailand as recently as 3000 years Before Present (B.P.). Attempts to reconstruct palaeocli­ mates in the north and northeast of Thailand are far less common.
