The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial
communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now …

Mangroves are woody plants that grow at the interface between land and sea in tropical and
sub-tropical latitudes where they exist in conditions of high salinity, extreme tides, strong …

Marine sponges often contain diverse and abundant microbial communities, including
bacteria, archaea, microalgae, and fungi. In some cases, these microbial associates …

Despite the wide range of functional roles performed by marine sponges they are still poorly
represented in many research, monitoring and conservation programmes. The aim of this …

The fish gustatory system provides the final sensory evaluation in the feeding process.
Unlike other vertebrates, the gustatory system in fish may be divided into two distinct …

In this review, I summarize recent developments in marine chemical ecology and suggest
additional studies that should be especially productive. Direct tests in both the field and …

The dichotomy between high microbial abundance (HMA) and low microbial abundance
(LMA) sponges has been long recognized. In the present study, 56 sponge species from …

Commensalisms, interactions between two species in which one species benefits and the
other experiences no net effect, are frequently mentioned in the ecological literature but are …

We evaluated selective feeding in hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata by comparing
ingested prey species with their availability at 2 sites in the SW Dominican Republic …

Marine Natural Products Chemistry is essentially a child of the 1970's that developed rapidly
during the 1980's and matured in the last decade. With a few notable exceptions, it is difficult …
