Oceanological 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.

Contribution of epilithic diatoms to benthic−pelagic coupling in a temperate river [PDF]
, 2013 Water residence time in the middle course of rivers is often too short to allow substantial phytoplankton development, and primary production is essentially provided by benthic phototrophic biofilms.

Sea Ice Dynamics Drive Benthic Microbial Communities in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Climate change is driving dramatic variability in sea ice dynamics, a key driver in polar marine ecosystems. Projected changes in Antarctica suggest that regional warming will force dramatic shifts in sea ice thickness and persistence, altering sea ice ...

The nitrogen isotope effect of benthic remineralization-nitrification-denitrification coupling in an estuarine environment [PDF]
, 2011 The nitrogen (N) stable isotopic composition of pore water nitrate and total dissolved N (TDN) was measured in sediments of the St. Lawrence Estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Effects of hypoxia on benthic macrofauna and bioturbation in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada [PDF]
, 2010 The bottom water in the 4300 m deep Lower St. Lawrence Estuary (LSLE) is persistently hypoxic in contrast to the normoxic bottom waters in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL). We photographed the seabed at 11 stations in the Estuary and Gulf of St.

Environmental factors structuring Arctic megabenthos - a case study from a shelf and two fjords
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 From photographic samples, we describe the benthic megafaunal communities in two north Svalbard fjords and on the adjacent continental shelf. We analyze the fauna in relation to abiotic factors of depth, bottom water temperature, percent cover of hard ...

Technical Note: Determination of the metabolically active fraction of benthic foraminifera by means of Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) [PDF]
, 2011 Benthic foraminifera are an important component of the marine biota, but protocols for investigating their viability and metabolism are still extremely limited.
