Two New Uromunna Species (Isopoda: Asellota: Munnidae) from the Korean Peninsula and Their Phylogenetic Position within Munnoid Groups

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Two new Uromunna species, Uromunna mundongensis sp. n. and Uromunna jejuensis sp. n., are described from the Korean Peninsula, representing the first record of the genus in Korean waters.

Sea Ice Dynamics Drive Benthic Microbial Communities in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Microplastic Effect Thresholds for Freshwater Benthic Macroinvertebrates

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2018
Now that microplastics have been detected in lakes, rivers, and estuaries all over the globe, evaluating their effects on biota has become an urgent research priority.

Marine biomonitoring with eDNA: Can metabarcoding of water samples cut it as a tool for surveying benthic communities?

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2020
In the marine realm, biomonitoring using environmental DNA (eDNA) of benthic communities requires destructive direct sampling or the setting‐up of settlement structures.

Chemically Mediated Microbial “Gardening” Capacity of a Seaweed Holobiont Is Dynamic

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Terrestrial plants are known to “garden” the microbiota of their rhizosphere via released metabolites (that can attract beneficial microbes and deter pathogenic microbes). Such a “gardening” capacity is also known to be dynamic in plants.

Benthic oxygen exchange in a live coralline algal bed and an adjacent sandy habitat: an eddy covariance study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Coralline algal (maerl) beds are widespread, slow-growing, structurally complex perennial habitats that support high biodiversity, yet are significantly understudied compared to seagrass beds or kelp forests.

Environmental factors structuring Arctic megabenthos - a case study from a shelf and two fjords

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Shotgun Metagenomics Reveals the Benthic Microbial Community Response to Plastic and Bioplastic in a Coastal Marine Environment

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Plastic is incredibly abundant in marine environments but little is known about its effects on benthic microbiota and biogeochemical cycling. This study reports the shotgun metagenomic sequencing of biofilms fouling plastic and bioplastic microcosms ...

Habitat differences in deep-sea megafaunal communities off New Zealand: implications for vulnerability to anthropogenic disturbance and management

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Research on benthic communities in the deep sea has focused largely on habitats in isolation, with few studies considering multiple habitats simultaneously in a comparable manner. The present study aimed to determine the structural differences in benthic
