Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

<i>oceandatr</i>: An R Package to Acquire and Process Geospatial Ocean Data. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We introduce the oceandatr R package, an interface that provides functions for acquiring and processing marine data sources—including bathymetry, geomorphology, ecological, and human use data—and returns these in several grid‐based formats. We outline uses of oceandatr, such as modeling and spatial analysis, and present two case studies where oceandatr

Paleoenvironmental Stasis for the Bioturbating Community During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum at the Southern Iberian Margin. [PDF]

open access: yesGeobiology
ABSTRACT During the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), there was an increase in global temperatures and emissions of isotopically depleted carbon, resulting in a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE). This climatic event caused a widespread ocean deoxygenation, leading to substantial biotic turnover.

Still Many to Be Named: An Integrative Analysis of the Genus Dendronotus (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) in the North Pacific Revealed Seven New Species

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
In this paper, we report on the discovery of the hidden biodiversity of the genus Dendronotus (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) in bathyal areas of the North Pacific (the Sea of Okhotsk and the Kuril Islands).

Bathyal cumacean assemblages from the southern margin of the Cap Ferret Canyon (SE Bay of Biscay)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2020
The structure of the cumacean assemblages from the southern margin of the Cap Ferret Canyon was studied at 13 stations ranging from 346 to 1099 m depth with a modified Macer-GIROQ suprabenthic sledge (four superimposed nets; 0.5 mm mesh size). A total of
