Live coral presence appears a signifi cant predictor of CWR sponge composition and diversity, and distance appeared to structure the composition of the sponge assemblages of the three reef mound areas, but much less so within and among local reefs.
Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis and Barcoded Pyrosequencing Reveal Unprecedented Archaeal Diversity in Mangrove Sediment and Rhizosphere Samples

This study shows that rhizosphere microhabitats of R. mangle and L. racemosa, common plants in subtropical mangroves located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hosted distinct archaeal assemblages, suggesting that roots of both mangrove species influence the sediment Archaeal community.

Bird species composition within a logging concession in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo was assessed to identify associations between species traits and environmental variables to help understand the causes of disturbance and predict whether species with given traits will persist under changing environmental conditions.
Taking Root: Enduring Effect of Rhizosphere Bacterial Colonization in Mangroves

It is found that mangrove roots appear to influence bacterial abundance and composition in the rhizosphere, and this study indicates that nursery conditions and early microbial colonization patterns of the replants are key factors that should be considered during reforestation projects.

The main goals were to compare the bacterial richness and composition of two sponge species inhabiting both marine lakes and adjacent open coastal systems and to investigate microbial communities of sponges inhabiting these lakes using barcoded pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons.
Assessment of Variation in Bacterial Composition among Microhabitats in a Mangrove Environment Using DGGE Fingerprints and Barcoded Pyrosequencing

The results show that PCR-DGGE provides a robust and cost effective exploratory approach and is effective in distinguishing among a priori defined groups.
Composition and predicted functional ecology of mussel-associated bacteria in Indonesian marine lakes

Bacterial communities associated with mussels inhabiting two distinct coastal marine ecosystems in Kalimantan, Indonesia, are sampled and the presence of genes related to isoquinoline alkaloids, polyketides, hydrolases, mono and dioxygenases in the predicted analysis of functional pathways is an indication that the bacterial communities of Brachidontes mussels may be potentially important sources of new marine medicines and enzymes of industrial interest.
Beta diversity of tropical marine benthic assemblages in the Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia

In order to preserve diversity it is essential to understand how assemblages change across space. Despite this fact, we still know very little about how marine diversity is spatially distributed,…
Interspecific interactions and competitive ability of the polymorphic reef-building coral Montastrea annularis

- Biology, Environmental Science
- 1996
Naturally occurring interactions in three Montastrea annularis morphotypes, viz. Bumpy, Massive and Columnar (Van Veghel and Bak, 1993), were surveyed at six different depths on three localities…
