Research opportunities in pandemic lockdown
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020)
The entire world is facing an unprecedented crisis today due to the spread of COVID-19. The most severely affected countries enforced a complete lockdown to minimize personal contacts, with only bare minimum, essential ...
Morphological and molecular evidence for first records and range extension of the Japanese seahorse, Hippocampus mohnikei (Bleeker 1853) in a bay-estuarine system of Goa, central west coast of India
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Accurate information of taxonomy and geographic range of seahorse species (genus Hippocampus) is the first step in preparing threat assessments and designing effective conservation measures. Here, we report first records ...
Habitat characteristics mediated partitioning of economically important bivalves in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuary
(Springer, 2020)
Bivalves are benthic organisms inhabiting coastal marine habitats, especially estuarine tidal and mudflats. Due to their high stocking density and rich protein content, they form a major part of the artisanal fishery ...
Imprints of ancient recycled oceanic lithosphere in heterogeneous Indian Ocean mantle: Evidence from petrogenesis of Carlsberg ridge basalts from Northwest Indian Ocean
(Elsevier Inc., 2020)
This paper reports new petrological, geochemical and isotopic data for Carlsberg Ridge Basalts (CRB) of northwest Indian Ocean and evaluates their petrogenetic aspects in the context of the geochemical and tectonic evolution ...
Bacterial diversity associated with a newly described bioeroding sponge, Cliona thomasi, from the coral reefs on the West Coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
The bacterial diversity associated with eroding sponges belonging to the Cliona viridis species complex is scarcely known. Cliona thomasi described from the West Coast of India is a new introduction to the viridis species ...
Antimicrobial Efficacy of Green Synthesized Nanosilver with Entrapped Cinnamaldehyde against Multi-Drug-Resistant Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli in Galleria mellonella
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
The global emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) needs no emphasis.In this study, the in vitro stability, safety, and antimicrobial efficacy of nanosilver-entrapped cinnamaldehyde (AgC) against multi-drug-resistant ...
Bioactive Trace Elements' Composition and Their Fractional Solubility in Aerosols from the Arabian Sea during the Southwest Monsoon
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
Atmospheric dust deposition supplies a significant amount of macro- and micronutrients to surface ocean water, thus playing a vital role in modulating phytoplankton growth.In this context, we measured soluble and total ...
Climatology and variability of wind speeds along the southwest coast of India derived from Climate Forecast System Reanalysis winds
(Wiley, 2022)
Wind climate along the southwest coast of India (Kerala coast) has been analysed using 41 years of Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) winds to delineate long-term trends and variability.The study reveals significant ...
Records of Sea Slug Fauna (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) from the shores of Goa, Eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)
Heterobranch sea slugs are a group of often vibrantly coloured, shell-less, and soft-bodied molluscs which are also indicators of climate change and a source of natural products.The information on sea slug diversity and ...
Glacial-interglacial differences in carbonate burial in the equatorial Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2022)
To understand the variations in carbonate burial for the last 30 kiloannum (ka), we have utilized a core from the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), Site716A (04.56�N and 73.17�E) retrieved from a water depth of 533~m from the ...
