A model‐based assessment of anthropogenic disturbance on lotic macroinvertebrate assemblages

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Traditionally, the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on biological assemblages are elucidated by comparing an assemblage observed at a site to one that represents a minimally disturbed state. Unfortunately, defining a minimally disturbed state is extremely challenging because of the extent of human disturbance.

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.
Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...

Multi‐Tool Marine Metabarcoding Bioassessment for Baselining and Monitoring Species and Communities in Kelp Habitats

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The astonishing biological diversity found in Californian kelp forests requires efficient and robust monitoring tools to better understand ecological trends and mitigate against loss or disruption of ecosystem services due to human pressure and climate changes.

On the ground pattern of Annelida

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2002
AbstractAnnelida, traditionally divided into Polychaeta and Clitellata, are characterized by serial division of their body into numerous similar structures, the segments. In addition, there is a non-segmental part at the front end, the prostomium, and one at the back, the pygidium. New segments develop in a prepygidial proliferation zone.

Variation and ontogenetic changes of opercular paleae in a population of Sabellaria spinulosa (Polychaeta: Sabellaridae) from the South Adriatic Sea, with remarks on larval development

Scientia Marina, 2015
Sabellaria alcocki Gravier, 1906, described for the Indian Ocean, should not be present in the Mediterranean area. Though S. spinulosa alcocki, a Mediterranean variety, can be well-distinguished from S.

Significance of chaetal arrangement for maldanid systematics (Annelida, Maldanidae)

Scientia Marina, 2006
Maldanids are usually divided into several subfamilies: Euclymeninae, Lumbriclymeninae, Maldaninae, Nicomachinae, Rhodininae, Clymenurinae, Notoproctinae, and Boguinae. The taxonomy of maldanids and the delimination of these taxa are mainly based on head

A morphology-based identification key to the Cognettia species of the world (Clitellata: Enchytraeidae)

Soil Organisms, 2019
Morphological characters for identification of Cognettia species are presented both as a dichotomous key and in table form. Focus is on non-sexual characters, as many species reproduce mainly asexually, and sexually mature individuals can be rare.

Endoparasites and epibionts of loggerhead and green sea turtles from the eastern Mediterranean, Turkey: A detailed assessment

Helminthologia
Two species of sea turtles, the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and the green turtle (Chelonia mydas), use Turkey's Mediterranean and rarely Aegean Sea coasts for nesting and foraging.

Seasonal variations of diversity and abundance of the benthic Annelida in coastal sediments of the southern Caspian Sea (Mazandaran-Sari) [PDF]

بوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2018
In order to investigate seasonal variation of diversity and abundance of Annelida, seasonal sediment sampling was performed on 10 stations with depths of 1, 5, 10 and 20 meters in the coastal area of Sari, Iran in 2015-2016.
