RNA: DNA ratio and other nucleic acid derived indices in marine ecology
MA Chícharo, L Chícharo - International journal of molecular sciences, 2008 - mdpi.com
Some of most used indicators in marine ecology are nucleic acid-derived indices. They can
be divided by target levels in three groups: 1) at the organism level as ecophysiologic …

Estimating fitness: a comparison of body condition indices
EM Jakob, SD Marshall, GW Uetz - Oikos, 1996 - JSTOR
Behavioral ecologists might often benefit by the ability to directly measure an animal's body
condition as an estimate of foraging success, and ultimately fitness. Here we compare the …

Ocean warming, more than acidification, reduces shell strength in a commercial shellfish species during food limitation
Ocean surface pH levels are predicted to fall by 0.3–0.4 pH units by the end of the century
