Untangling the effects of fishing effort and environmental variables on benthic communities of commercially fished scallop grounds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Isle of Man fishing industry is currently predominated by two lucrative and heavily exploited scallop fisheries, targeting Pecten maximus and Aequipecten opercularis.

The biology and ecology of benthic foraminifera inhabiting intertidal mudflats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Benthic foraminifera inhabiting the mudflats of the Eden Estuary, NE Scotland, exhibited a single annual peak in abundance at both high (270 individuals 10 cm⁻²) and low shore (210 individuals 10 cm⁻²) intertidal sampling stations during June 2000 ...

Gelatinous Carbon Impacts Benthic Megafaunal Communities in a Continental Margin

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesAnimal, 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.

Upsilococconeis dapalistriata gen. nov. & comb. nov. (Bacillariophyta) – a pantropical marine member of Cocconeidaceae

open access: yesOceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2022
Cocconeis dapalistriata, first described as a member of the genus Cocconeis, is re-examined due to its unique ultrastructure. Both valvocopulae of this taxon show significant differences compared to those found in the genus Cocconeis.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Benthic-pelagic nutrient cycling in shallow lakes : investigating the functional role of benthic microalgae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Microbes, living on the boundary between the sediment and the water-column in lakes, can play a pivotal role in governing the magnitude and frequency of nutrient cycling.

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

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

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

open access: yesPeerJ
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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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.
