Exposure as a factor for primary and secundary production in a kelp forest

It is a well established fact that kelp forest are highly productive areas, with an annual production about 10 times of what might be found in phytoplankton dominated waters. Resent research have also shown that kelp is an important carbon source for many animals in these areas. However, few ani...

Evolution of chloroplasts: addressing the genomic processes behind acquisition of secondary and tertiary organelles

The dinoflagellate chloroplasts (plastids) originate from eukaryotic photosynthetic endosymbionts. Rather than being derived from a single group (being monophyletic) the plastids of dinoflagellates are originate from several organism groups and are thus of polyphyletic origin. Most dinoflagellat...

Magnetoreception and magnetic compass orientation in the long distance migration of the European eel

The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, a common part of the fish community in European coastal and inland waters, spawns in the Sargasso Sea. The larvae drift or migrate with currents to the coasts of Europe and North Africa. Once there, large numbers of yo ung eels grow up in widely different habi...

Evolution of chloroplast replacements

The most abundant dinoflagellate chloroplast type is characterised by using peridinin as the main accessory light harvesting pigment. Two small dinoflagellate groups, however, have replaced this peridinin-containing organelle with chloroplasts acquired fr om haptophytes and prasinophytes - these ...

Hybridization in birds as studied by cross-fostering in the wild

Hybridization between species generally reduces fitness. However, hybridization, and subsequent back-crossing, may lead to the transfer of genes between species and represent an important factor as a source of new variability in the subsequent evolution o f the species. The importance of hybridiz...
