Dive behaviour and foraging effort of female Cape fur seals Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
While marine top predators can play a critical role in ecosystem structure and dynamics through their effects on prey populations, how the predators function in this role is often not well understood.

Gelatinous Carbon Impacts Benthic Megafaunal Communities in a Continental Margin

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Post-collapse of seasonal blooms of gelatinous zooplankton (Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Thaliacea) sinking carcasses transports labile carbon (jelly-C) to benthic continental margins and the deep sea.

Automated culture of aquatic model organisms: shrimp larvae husbandry for the needs of research and aquaculture

Animal, 2018
Modern research makes frequent use of animal models, that is, organisms raised and bred experimentally in order to help the understanding of biological and chemical processes affecting organisms or whole environments.

A Synthesis of Deep Benthic Faunal Impacts and Resilience Following the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill significantly impacted the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGoM) deep benthos (>125 m water depth) at different spatial scales and across all community size and taxa groups including microbes, foraminifera, meiofauna ...

Short-Term Response of Deep-Water Benthic Megafauna to Installation of a Pipeline Over a Depth Gradient on the Angolan Slope

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Large structures are introduced into deep-water marine environments by several industrial activities, including hydrocarbon exploitation. Anthropogenic structures can alter ecosystem structure and functioning in many marine ecosystems but the responses ...

Biogeography of algae and invertebrates from wave-exposed rocky intertidal habitats along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia (Canada): Latitudinal and interannual patterns and possible underlying drivers

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Biogeographic studies aim to understand species distributions and are becoming increasingly relevant to establish baselines to monitor ecological change.

On the origin of Antarctic marine benthic community structure [PDF]

, 2005
Environmental conditions fostering marine communities around Antarctica differ fundamentally from those in the rest of the world's oceans, particularly in terms of pronounced climatic fluctuations and extreme cold.

Raised water temperature enhances benthopelagic links via intensified bioturbation and benthos-mediated nutrient cycling [PDF]

PeerJ
Sediment reworking by benthic infauna, namely bioturbation, is of pivotal importance in expansive soft-sediment environments such as the Wadden Sea. Bioturbating fauna facilitate ecosystem functions such as bentho-pelagic coupling and sediment nutrient ...

The niche of benthic foraminifera, critical thresholds and proxies [PDF]

, 2001
Ecological studies of benthic foraminifera are carried out to explain patterns of distribution and the dynamics of communities. They are also used to provide data to establish proxy relationships with selected factors.

Faunal response to benthic and hyporheic sedimentation varies with direction of vertical hydrological exchange [PDF]

, 2014
1. Sedimentation and clogging of benthic and hyporheic zone substrates is increasingly being recognised as one of the greatest threats to the ecological integrity of riverine ecosystems globally. This ex-situ study examined the influence of sedimentation
