A review 1991 2 With the passing of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 a tenuous relationship was established between the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency over administration of the section 404 dredges and fill ...
Bringing molecular tools into environmental resource management: Untangling the molecules to policy pathway 2009 280 Increasingly, scientists are drawn to public debates on environmental policy, yet find themselves ill-equipped to influence the outcome. While many scientists have collected data (for example, on species being considered for listing under the Endange...
Evolutionary trends in the seagrass genus Halophila (thouars): Insights from molecular phylogeny 2002 1 Relationships among members of the seagrass genus Halophila (Hydrocharitaceae) were investigated using phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. The final aligned ITS sequence data set of 70...
A gene phylogeny of the red algae (Rhodophyta) based on plastid-encoded rbcL 1994 1 A phylogeny for the Rhodophyta has been inferred by parsimony analysis of plastid rbcL sequences representing 81 species, 68 genera, 38 families, and 17 orders of red algae; rbcL encodes the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxyg...
Molecular evidence that the lionfishes Pterois miles and Pterois volitans are distinct species 2009 0 The lionfish species Pterois miles and P. volitans are popular aquarium fishes that have gained recent notoriety as invasive species along the east coast of the United States and the Bahamas. The two species can usually be identified using dorsal a...
Seasonality of the invasive seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla along the southeastern coast of North Carolina. 2006 1 Gracilaria vermiculophylla is a red alga that has recently invaded the coastal waters of North Carolina. It has become abundant in the sounds and estuaries of southeastern North Carolina and is a nuisance for commercial fishing operations and indust...
Utility of FTA cards for the preservation of marine green and red algal DNA 2009 0 Fast Technology for Analysis of nucleic acids (FTA) cards are a paper-based matrix impregnated with chelators, denaturants and free-radical traps that inhibit enzymes, chemicals and microbes that might degrade DNA or RNA. Originally developed for...
