    Historical overfishing and the recent collapse of coastal ecosystems (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-07-28
    Description: Ecological extinction caused by overfishing precedes all other pervasive human disturbance to coastal ecosystems, including pollution, degradation of water quality, and anthropogenic climate change. Historical abundances of large consumer species were fantastically large in comparison with recent observations. Paleoecological, archaeological, and historical data show that time lags of decades to centuries occurred between the onset of overfishing and consequent changes in ecological communities, because unfished species of similar trophic level assumed the ecological roles of overfished species until they too were overfished or died of epidemic diseases related to overcrowding. Retrospective data not only help to clarify underlying causes and rates of ecological change, but they also demonstrate achievable goals for restoration and management of coastal ecosystems that could not even be contemplated based on the limited perspective of recent observations alone.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jackson, J B -- Kirby, M X -- Berger, W H -- Bjorndal, K A -- Botsford, L W -- Bourque, B J -- Bradbury, R H -- Cooke, R -- Erlandson, J -- Estes, J A -- Hughes, T P -- Kidwell, S -- Lange, C B -- Lenihan, H S -- Pandolfi, J M -- Peterson, C H -- Steneck, R S -- Tegner, M J -- Warner, R R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Jul 27;293(5530):629-37.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0244, USA. jbcj@ucsd.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11474098" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Global trajectories of the long-term decline of coral reef ecosystems (2003)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2003-08-16
    Description: Degradation of coral reef ecosystems began centuries ago, but there is no global summary of the magnitude of change. We compiled records, extending back thousands of years, of the status and trends of seven major guilds of carnivores, herbivores, and architectural species from 14 regions. Large animals declined before small animals and architectural species, and Atlantic reefs declined before reefs in the Red Sea and Australia, but the trajectories of decline were markedly similar worldwide. All reefs were substantially degraded long before outbreaks of coral disease and bleaching. Regardless of these new threats, reefs will not survive without immediate protection from human exploitation over large spatial scales.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pandolfi, John M -- Bradbury, Roger H -- Sala, Enric -- Hughes, Terence P -- Bjorndal, Karen A -- Cooke, Richard G -- McArdle, Deborah -- McClenachan, Loren -- Newman, Marah J H -- Paredes, Gustavo -- Warner, Robert R -- Jackson, Jeremy B C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 15;301(5635):955-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Paleobiology, MRC-121, National Museum of Natural History, Post Office Box 37012, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA. pandolfi.john@nmnh.si.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920296" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Impacts of biodiversity loss on ocean ecosystem services (2006)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-11-04
    Description: Human-dominated marine ecosystems are experiencing accelerating loss of populations and species, with largely unknown consequences. We analyzed local experiments, long-term regional time series, and global fisheries data to test how biodiversity loss affects marine ecosystem services across temporal and spatial scales. Overall, rates of resource collapse increased and recovery potential, stability, and water quality decreased exponentially with declining diversity. Restoration of biodiversity, in contrast, increased productivity fourfold and decreased variability by 21%, on average. We conclude that marine biodiversity loss is increasingly impairing the ocean's capacity to provide food, maintain water quality, and recover from perturbations. Yet available data suggest that at this point, these trends are still reversible.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Worm, Boris -- Barbier, Edward B -- Beaumont, Nicola -- Duffy, J Emmett -- Folke, Carl -- Halpern, Benjamin S -- Jackson, Jeremy B C -- Lotze, Heike K -- Micheli, Fiorenza -- Palumbi, Stephen R -- Sala, Enric -- Selkoe, Kimberley A -- Stachowicz, John J -- Watson, Reg -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Nov 3;314(5800):787-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada B3H 4J1. bworm@dal.ca〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17082450" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Inhibitory effects of myxothiazol and 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide on the auxiliary electron transport pathways of Rhodobacter capsulatus (1986)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The effects of various electron transport inhibitors upon the rates of reduction NO 3 - , dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and N2O in anaerobic suspensions of Rhodobacter capsulatus have been studied. A new method for the determination of the rates of reduction of these auxiliary oxidants in intact cells is presented, based on the proportionality observed between the concentration of oxidant and the duration of the electrochromic carotenoid bandshift. For NO 3 - and N2O good agreement was found between rates of reduction determined using electrodes and those determined by the electrochromic method. Myxothiazol and antimycin A had no effect on the rates of reduction of NO 3 - and DMSO suggesting that the cytochrome b/c 1complex is not involved in electron transport to these oxidants. 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (HOQNO) inhibited at two sites, one within the cytochrome b/c 1complex and the other on the nitrate reducing pathay, but had no effect on electron transport to N2O or DMSO. In both intact cells and cell free extracts, HOQNO had no effect on the nitrate dependent re-oxidation of reduced methylviologen (MVH2), a direct electron donor to nitrate reductase. Our data are consistent with a branch point for the auxiliary electron transport pathways at the level of the ubiquinone pool.

    Notes: Abstract The periplasmic dissimilatory nitrate reductase from Rhodobacter capsulatus N22DNAR+ has been purified. It comprises a single type of polypeptide chain with subunit molecular weight 90,000 and does not contain heme. Chlorate is not an alternative substrate. A molybdenum cofactor, of the pterin type found in both nitrate reductases and molybdoenzymes from various sources, is present in nitrate reductase from R. capsulatus at an approximate stoichiometry of 1 molecule per polypeptide chain. This is the first report of the occurrence of the cofactor in a periplasmic enzyme. Trimethylamine-N-oxide reductase activity was fractionated by ion exchange chromatography of periplasmic proteins. The fractionated material was active towards dimethylsulphoxide, chlorate and methionine sulphoxide, but not nitrate. A catalytic polypeptide of molecular weight 46,000 was identified by staining for trimethylamine-N-oxide reductase activity after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The same polypeptide also stained for dimethylsulphoxide reductase activity which indicates that trimethylamine-N-oxide and dimethylsulphoxide share a common reductase.

    Dimethylsulphoxide and trimethylamine-N-oxide as bacterial electron transport acceptors: use of nuclear magnetic resonance to assay and characterise the reductase system in Rhodobacter capsulatus (1987)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance is established as a sensitive and specific method for following the reduction of dimethylsulphoxide and trimethylamine-N-oxide by bacteria. Using this method it has been shown that cells of Rhodobacter capsulatus reduce both dimethylsulphoxide and trimethylamine-N-oxide at linear rates at all concentrations of these acceptors that can be conveniently detected during a continuous assay. The rate of reduction of trimethylamine-N-oxide was eightfold higher than the rate of dimethylsulphoxide reduction. An upper limit of approximately 0.1 mM may be placed upon the apparent K m value for each acceptor, but the value for dimethylsulphoxide is deduced to be lower than that for trimethylamine-N-oxide on the basis of the strong inhibitory effect of the former on the reduction of the latter. Reduction of trimethylamine-N-oxide by Rb. capsulatus was inhibited by illumination and by oxygen, but only the former effect was relieved following dissipation of the proton electrochemical gradient across the cytoplasmic membrane. Rotenone inhibited the reduction of trimethylamine-N-oxide whereas myxothiazol did not, consistent with a pathway of electrons to the reductase from NADH dehydrogenase that does not involve the cytochrome bc 1complex.
