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

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.

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

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