Bacterial Communities in Multiple Tissues Across the Body Surface of Three Coastal Shark Species
Bacterial Communities in Multiple Tissues Across the Body Surface of Three Coastal Shark Species Black C, Merly L, Hammerschlag N. ABSTRACT: Bacteria are known to have explicit roles within the microbiomes of host tissues, therefore examining these communities may prove useful in assessing host health and responses to environmental change. The present study contributes to

Forecasting intraspecific changes in distribution of a wide-ranging marine predator under climate change
Forecasting intraspecific changes in distribution of a wide-ranging marine predator under climate change Niella, Y., Butcher, P., Holmes, B. et al. ABSTRACT: Globally, marine animal distributions are shifting in response to a changing climate. These shifts are usually considered at the species level, but individuals are likely to differ in how they respond to the
