ABSTRACT Diverse invertebrate communities inhabiting carbonate rocks at methane seeps may rely on a mix of local chemosynthetic production and sinking photosynthetic organic matter, with relative importance shaped by environmental conditions. We investigate the contribution of chemosynthetic carbon to macrofaunal diets at six Southern California ...

Does Invasive Mammal Exclusion Restore an Ecosystem Function Mediated by Invertebrates?
Excluding invasive mammals is key to protecting native biodiversity, but it is unclear if their removal also restores ecosystem functions, especially those provided by invertebrates, such as decomposition, pollination and herbivory. Fenced ecosanctuaries on mainland New Zealand, which exclude most introduced mammals except mice, offer a unique ...

A preliminary study on the feeding regime of European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum 1792) in Izmir Bay, Turkey, Eastern Aegean Sea [PDF]
The gut contents of Sardina pilchardus specimens captured in Izmir Bay were examined in order to determine their feeding regimes. Of the 365 stomachs examined, 321 (87.95%) contained food and 44 (12.05%) were empty. Analysis of gut contents verified that

Distinct or similar? Soft bottom polychaete diversity in Arctic and Antarctic glacial fjords [PDF]
The main aim of this study was to compare the polychaete communities in two similar polar areas: an Arctic fjord, Hornsund (Svalbard) and an Antarctic fjord, Ezcurra Inlet (South Shetlands).

ABSTRACT A unique biogenic bryozoan reef has been recently discovered in Western Port (a temperate embayment), Victoria, Australia. This reef is significant owing to its contiguous, regular, linear rows of densely stacked bryozoan colonies with large vertical relief. We aimed to (1) document the biodiversity of the macroinvertebrate epifauna associated

Cellular distribution of a feminizing microsporidian parasite: a strategy for transovarial transmission [PDF]
The cellular distribution of a vertically transmitted, feminizing microsporidian was followed in its host Gammarus duebeni. In adult females the parasite was restricted to gonadal tissue, in particular primary and secondary follicle cells.
