Chemical ecology of predator–prey interactions in aquatic ecosystems: a review and prospectusThe present review is one in the special series of reviews on animal–plant interactions.

Canadian Journal of Zoology, Journal Year: 2010, Volume and Issue: 88(7), P. 698 - 724

Published: July 1, 2010

The interaction between predator and prey is an evolutionary arms race, for which early detection by either party often the key to success. In aquatic ecosystems, olfaction essential source of information many predators a number cues have been shown play role in trait-mediated indirect interactions communities. Here, we review nature kairomones, chemical alarm cues, disturbance diet on behaviour, morphology, life history, survival prey, focusing primarily discoveries from last decade. Many advances field accomplished: testing value those chemicals, providing validation laboratory results, understanding extent chemically mediated learning may benefit these chemicals mediating morphological life-history adaptations, most importantly, selection pressures leading evolution cues. Although considerable made, several questions remain, urgent understand chemistry behind interactions.

The Second Skin: Ecological Role of Epibiotic Biofilms on Marine Organisms

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2012, Volume and Issue: 3

Published: Jan. 1, 2012

In the aquatic environment, biofilms on solid surfaces are omnipresent. The outer body surface of marine organisms often represents a highly active interface between host and biofilm. Since living have capacity to affect fluxes information, energy, matter across host's surface, they an important ecological potential modulate abiotic biotic interactions host. Here we review existing evidence how epibiotic their hosts' ecology by altering properties processes its surfaces. Biofilms huge reduce access light, gases, and/or nutrients interaction with further foulers, consumers, or pathogens. These effects may intensely interact environmental conditions. quality biofilm's impact vary from detrimental beneficial according identity partners, type considered, prevailing concludes some unresolved but questions future perspectives.

Mini-review: Inhibition of biofouling by marine microorganisms

Biofouling, Journal Year: 2013, Volume and Issue: 29(4), P. 423 - 441

Published: April 1, 2013

Any natural or artificial substratum exposed to seawater is quickly fouled by marine microorganisms and later macrofouling species. Microfouling organisms on the surface of a form heterogenic biofilms, which are composed multiple species heterotrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria, diatoms, protozoa fungi. Biofilms structures create serious problems for industries worldwide, with effects including an increase in drag force metal corrosion as well reduction heat transfer efficiency. Additionally, produce chemical compounds that may induce inhibit settlement growth other fouling organisms. Since last review first author inhibition biofouling microbes 2006, significant progress has been made field. Several antimicrobial, antialgal antilarval have isolated from cyanobacteria Some these bioactivities. Microorganisms able disrupt biofilms bacterial signalling production enzymes degrade signals polymers. Epibiotic associated algae invertebrates high antifouling (AF) potential, can be used solve industry. However, more information about AF situ their mechanisms action needs obtained. This focuses activity fungi covers publications 2006 up end 2012.

Trends in the Discovery of New Marine Natural Products from Invertebrates over the Last Two Decades – Where and What Are We Bioprospecting?

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2012, Volume and Issue: 7(1), P. e30580 - e30580

Published: Jan. 20, 2012

It is acknowledged that marine invertebrates produce bioactive natural products may be useful for developing new drugs. By exploring untapped geographical sources and/or novel groups of organisms one can maximize the search drugs to treat human diseases. The goal this paper analyse trends associated with discovery from (NMNPI) over last two decades. analysis considers different taxonomical levels and approaches bioprospected species. Additionally, research also directed provide insights into less taxa world regions. In order gather information available on NMNPI, yearly-published reviews Marine Natural Products covering 1990–2009 were surveyed. Information source organisms, specifically collection sites, was assembled together additional collected articles originally describing product. Almost 10000 NMNPI discovered since 1990, a pronounced increase between Porifera Cnidaria dominant worldwide. exception polar regions where Echinodermata dominated. majority species yielded belong only class each phyla (Demospongiae Anthozoa, respectively). Increased bioprospecting efforts observed in Pacific Ocean, particularly Asian countries are Japan Biodiversity Hotspot Kuroshio Current. Although results show comparably regions, number per similar recorded other present study provides future addressing previously unexplored taxonomic We highlight how invertebrates, which some cases have no commercial value, become highly valuable ongoing sea.

Research Strategies to Develop Environmentally Friendly Marine Antifouling Coatings

Marine Drugs, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 18(7), P. 371 - 371

There are a large number of fouling organisms in the ocean, which easily attach to surface ships, oil platforms and breeding facilities, corrode equipment, accelerate aging affect stability safety marine facilities cause serious economic losses. Antifouling coating is an effective method prevent biological fouling. Traditional organic tin copper oxide coatings toxic will contaminate seawater destroy ecology have been banned or restricted. Environmentally friendly antifouling become research hotspot. Among them, use natural products with activity as agents important direction. In addition, some release without antifoulants, biomimetic coatings, photocatalytic other novel also developed rapidly. On basis revealing mechanism biofouling, this paper reviews latest strategies develop environmentally coatings. The composition, characteristics, effects various were analyzed emphatically. Finally, development prospects future directions forecasted.
