    Variability of the surface boundary layer of reef-building coral species (2024)
    Springer
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-09-26
    Beschreibung: The coral-seawater interface is an important, highly dynamic microenvironment for reef-building corals. Also known as the concentration boundary layer (CBL), it is a thin layer of seawater bordering the coral surface that dictates the biochemical exchange between the coral colony and bulk seawater. The CBL is thus a key feature that modulates coral metabolism. However, CBL variation among small-polyped coral species remains largely unknown. Therefore, we recorded over 100 profiles of dissolved O2 concentration using microsensors to characterize CBL traits (thickness, surface O2 concentration, and flux) of three small-polyped branching coral species, Acropora cytherea, Pocillopora verrucosa, and Porites cylindrica. Measurements were conducted during light and darkness combined with low or moderate water flow (2 and 6 cm s−1). We found that CBL traits differed among species. CBL thickness was lowest in A. cytherea, while P. verrucosa showed the largest depletion of surface O2 in dark and highest dark flux. In addition, we found that O2 concentration gradients in the CBL occurred with three main profile shapes: diffusive, S-shaped, and complex. While diffusive profiles were the most common profile type, S-shaped and complex profiles were more frequent in P. verrucosa and P. cylindrica, respectively, and prevailed under low flow. Furthermore, profile types differed in CBL thickness and flux. Finally, low flow thickened CBLs, enhanced changes in surface O2 concentration, and reduced flux, compared to moderate flow. Overall, our findings reveal CBL variability among small-polyped branching corals and help understand CBL dynamics in response to changes in light and water flow conditions.

    A distal record of the Middle Miocene silicic eruption of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region stored within the Dinaride Lake System: implications for tephrostratigraphy and emplacement of volcaniclastic deposits (2024)
    Springer
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-09-26
    Beschreibung: Reliable reconstructions of tephrostratigraphy and emplacement mechanisms of Early to Middle Miocene volcaniclastic deposits across the Alpine-Mediterranean region may yield important clues as to the nature, spread, volume, magnitude and frequency of large silicic eruptions of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region. Here we report on a sequence of Middle Miocene volcaniclastic deposits intercalated with lacustrine strata from the Livno-Tomislavgrad Basin, part of the Dinaride Lake System. We applied a multi-proxy approach to elucidate their source, decipher their emplacement mechanism, and evaluate their basin-scale and regional correlativity. New high-precision zircon geochronology (~ 14.32 Ma) reveals their simultaneity with numerous volcaniclastic deposits (and their alteration products) widely spread across the Alpine-Mediterranean region. Additionally, their correlativity is confirmed at the scale of the Livno-Tomislavgrad Basin, based on similar lithostratigraphy, mineralogy and volcanic glass geochemistry. Newly obtained zircon Hf isotope data imply that Livno-Tomislavgrad Basin distal volcaniclastic deposits and ~ 14.36 Ma Harsány ignimbrite of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region had shared a parental eruptive center. However, different volcanic glass geochemistry, bolstered by the high-precision geochronology, suggests distinct eruption events, implying more frequent explosive volcanism of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region during Middle Miocene than previously recognized. We suggest that the ~ 14.32 Ma fine fallout tephra, deposited in the distal basin in the Dinarides (〉 400 km from the source), was likely re-mobilized by water-driven hillside erosion from the extensive paleo-relief, and further transported via land-derived gravity flows. Upon entering the lake, the gravity flows likely transformed into subaqueous sediment density flows. These deposited ~ 1 to 7-m-thick overall graded volcaniclastic turbidites, thinning away from the presumed source of tephra re-mobilization. Although over-thickened, the ~ 14.32 Ma Livno-Tomislavgrad Basin volcaniclastic deposits can still serve as a reliable tephro- and tectono-stratigraphic markers due to their rapid mode of accumulation.

    Estimating the copepod biomass in the North West African upwelling system using a bi-frequency acoustic approach (2024)
    Public Library of Science
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-09-16
    Beschreibung: The Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) is one of the most productive Large Marine Ecosystems worldwide. Assessing the abundance, biomass and distribution of zooplankton in the southern part of this system, off the coast of West Africa, remains challenging due to limited sampling efforts and data availability. However, zooplankton is of primary importance for pelagic ecosystem functioning. We applied an inversion method with combined analysis of acoustic and biological data for copepod discrimination using a bi-frequency (38 and 120 kHz) approach. Large copepods with equivalent spherical radii 〉 0.5 mm were identified using differences in the mean volume backscattering strength (MVBS). Regarding abundance measured by net sampling, copepods strongly dominated the zooplankton community and the large fraction account for 18%. This estimate correlated significantly with MVBS values that were obtained using an inverse algorithm. We confirmed the utility of using 38 kHz for large copepod detection. An epipelagic biomass of large copepod was estimated at 120–850 mg m -2 in March during upwelling season. It is worth noting that this estimation likely underestimates the true biomass due to inherent uncertainties associated with the measurement method. We recommend future investigations in the interest of using only nighttime data to improve the sampling pattern, particularly on the upper part of the water column (〈 10 m) as well as on the shallow part of the continental shelf (〈 20 m depth) not covered by fisheries vessel. Nevertheless, such high copepod biomass supports high fish production underlining the key role of copepod in the CCLME. Our results open the way to the analysis of the fluctuation and trend of copepod biomass, along with three decades of fisheries acoustics data available in the region. This helps to determine ecosystem changes, particularly under climate change, and to investigate the role of copepods in the southern CCLME carbon pump at the fine scale.

    Population structure and connectivity in Indo-Pacific deep-sea mussels of the Bathymodiolus septemdierum complex (2015)
    Springer
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-09-16
    Beschreibung: Current pressures to mine polymetallic sulfide deposits pose threats to the animal communities found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Management plans aimed at preserving these unusual communities require knowledge of historical and contemporary forces that shaped the distributions and connectivity of associated species. As most vent research has focused on the eastern Pacific and mid-Atlantic ridge systems less is known about Indo-Pacific vents, where mineral extraction activities are imminent. Deep-sea mussels (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) of the genus Bathymodiolus include the morphotypic species B. septemdierum, B. brevior, B. marisindicus, and B. elongatus which are among the dominant vent taxa in western Pacific back-arc basins and the Central Indian Ridge. To assess their interpopulational relationships, we examined multilocus genotypes based on DNA sequences from four nuclear and four mitochondrial genes, and allozyme variation encoded by eleven genes. Bayesian assignment methods grouped mussels from seven widespread western Pacific localities into a single cluster, whereas the Indian Ocean mussels were clearly divergent. Thus, we designate two regional metapopulations. Notably, contemporary migration rates among all sites appeared to be low despite limited population differentiation, which highlights the necessity of obtaining realistic data on recovery times and fine-scale population structure to develop and manage conservation units effectively. Future studies using population genomic methods to address these issues in a range of species will help to inform management plans aimed at mitigating potential impacts of deep-sea mining in the Indo-Pacific region.

    An Interpretable Multi-Model Machine Learning Approach for Spatial Mapping of Deep-Sea Polymetallic Nodule Occurrences (2024)
    Springer
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-09-11
    Beschreibung: High-resolution mapping of deep-sea polymetallic nodules is needed (a) to understand the reasons behind their patchy distribution, (b) to associate nodule coverage with benthic fauna occurrences, and (c) to enable an accurate resource estimation and mining path planning. This study used an autonomous underwater vehicle to map 37 km2 of a geomorphologically complex site in the Eastern Clarion–Clipperton Fracture Zone. A multibeam echosounder system (MBES) at 400 kHz and a side scan sonar at 230 kHz were used to investigate the nodule backscatter response. More than 30,000 seafloor images were analyzed to obtain the nodule coverage and train five machine learning (ML) algorithms: generalized linear models, generalized additive models, support vector machines, random forests (RFs) and neural networks (NNs). All models ML yielded similar maps of nodule coverage with differences occurring in the range of predicted values, particularly at parts with irregular topography. RFs had the best fit and NNs had the worst spatial transferability. Attention was given to the interpretability of model outputs using variable importance ranking across all models, partial dependence plots and domain knowledge. The nodule coverage is higher on relatively flat seafloor ( 〈 3°) with eastward-facing slopes. The most important predictor was the MBES backscatter, particularly from incident angles between 25 and 55°. Bathymetry, slope, and slope orientation were important geomorphological predictors. For the first time, at a water depth of 4500 m, orthophoto-mosaics and image-derived digital elevation models with 2-mm and 5-mm spatial resolutions supported the geomorphological analysis, interpretation of polymetallic nodules occurrences, and backscatter response.

    Recent benthic foraminiferal assemblages from cold-water coral mounds in the Porcupine Seabight (2011)
    Springer
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-09-05
    Beschreibung: Cold-water coral ecosystems are characterised by a high diversity and population density. Living and dead foraminiferal assemblages from 20 surface sediment samples from Galway and Propeller Mounds were analysed to describe the distribution patterns of benthic foraminifera on coral mounds in relation to different sedimentary facies. Hard substrates were examined to assess the foraminiferal microhabitats and diversities in the coral framework. We recognised 131 different species, of which 27 prefer an attached lifestyle. Epibenthic species are the main constituents of the living and dead foraminiferal assemblages. The frequent species Discanomalina coronata was associated with coral rubble, Cibicides refulgens showed preference to the off-mound sand veneer, and Uvigerina mediterranea displayed abundance maxima in the main depositional area on the southern flank of Galway Mound, and in the muds around Propeller Mound. The distribution of these species is rather governed by their specific ecological demands and microhabitat availability than by the sedimentary facies. Benthic foraminiferal assemblages from coral mounds fit well into basin-wide-scale distribution patterns of species along the western European continental margin. The diversity of the foraminiferal faunas is not higher on the carbonate mounds as in their vicinity. The living assemblages show a broad mid-slope diversity maximum between 500 and 1,300 m water depth, which is the depth interval of coral mound formation at the Celtic and Amorican Margin. The foraminiferal diversity maximum is about 700 m shallower than comparable maxima of nematodes and bivalves. This suggests that different processes are driving the foraminiferal and metazoan diversity patterns.

    Springer
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-09-04
    Beschreibung: The deep-sea brines of the Red Sea are unusual extreme environments and form characteristically steep gradients across the brine-seawater interfaces. Due to their unusual nature and unique combination of physical-chemical conditions these interfaces provide an interesting source of new findings in the fields of geochemistry, geology, microbiology, biotechnology, virology, and general biology. The current chapter summarizes recent and new results in the study of geochemistry and life at the interfaces of brine-filled deeps of the Red Sea.

    Effects of climate change and industrialization on Lake Bolshoe Toko, eastern Siberia (2021)
    Springer
    In:  EPIC3Journal of Paleolimnology, Springer, 65(3), pp. 335-352, ISSN: 0921-2728
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-09-03
    Beschreibung: Industrialization in the Northern Hemisphere has led to warming and pollution of natural ecosystems. We used paleolimnological methods to explore whether recent climate change and/or pollution had affected a very remote lake ecosystem, i.e. one without nearby direct human influence. We compared sediment samples that date from before and after the onset of industrialization in the mid-nineteenth century, from four short cores taken at water depths between 12.1 and 68.3 m in Lake Bolshoe Toko, eastern Siberia. We analyzed diatom assemblage changes, including diversity estimates, in all four cores and geochemical changes (mercury, nitrogen, organic carbon) from one core taken at an intermediate water depth. Chronologies for two cores were established using 210Pb and 137Cs. Sedimentation rates were 0.018 and 0.033 cm year−1 at the shallow- and deep-water sites, respectively. We discovered an increase in light planktonic diatoms (Cyclotella) and a decrease in heavily silicified euplanktonic Aulacoseira through time at deep-water sites, related to more recent warmer air temperatures and shorter periods of lake-ice cover, which led to pronounced thermal stratification. Diatom beta diversity in shallow-water communities changed significantly because of the development of new habitats associated with macrophyte growth. Mercury concentrations increased by a factor of 1.6 since the mid-nineteenth century as a result of atmospheric fallout. Recent increases in the chrysophyte Mallomonas in all cores suggested an acidification trend. We conclude that even remote boreal lakes are susceptible to the effects of climate change and human-induced pollution.

    Predatory preferences of a non-indigenous crab do not depend on prey invasion scenarios (2024)
    Springer
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-08-26
    Beschreibung: Predatory non-indigenous species (NIS) have profound impacts on global ecosystems, potentially leading to native prey extinction and reshaping community dynamics. Among mechanisms potentially mediating predator impacts and prey invasion success are predator preferences between native vs. non-indigenous prey, a topic still underexplored. Using functional response and prey preference experiments, this study focused on the predation by the non-indigenous Japanese brush-clawed shore crab, Hemigrapsus takanoi, between the native gammarid Gammarus duebeni and the analogous non-indigenous Gammarus tigrinus. Although H. takanoi showed subtle differences in its functional response type between the two prey species, its preferences across their environmental frequencies were not strongly influenced by the prey invasion scenario. The findings highlight the need for a comprehensive understanding of interactions in ecosystems with multiple NIS, offering fresh insights into complex feeding interactions within marine environments.
