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

Impacts of land-based pollutants on water chemistry and benthic macroinvertebrates community in a coastal lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria

open access: yesScientific African, 2020
Tropical coastal waters are prone to increased influx of pollutants from land during the rains. The effects of pollution influx on the water and macrobenthic fauna of a coastal lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria were investigated.

How Much Shallow Coral Habitat Is There on the Great Barrier Reef?

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is a globally unique and precious national resource; however, the geomorphic and benthic composition and the extent of coral habitat per reef are greatly understudied.

Bysmatrum granulosum sp. nov., a new benthic dinoflagellate from the southwestern Indian Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A new benthic marine dino¯agellate, Bysmatrum granulosum Ten-Hage, Turquet, Quod & Couté, sp. nov., was obtained from sediment and coral samples from sites of La Réunion Island (SW Indian Ocean). This new species is described and illustrated by light and

Classification and Mapping of Benthic Biotopes in Arctic and Sub-Arctic Norwegian Waters

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
In this paper, we describe the species composition of biotopes occurring in a wide range of environments and present their geographic distribution based on results from quantitative analyses of video-records collected as part of the Norwegian seabed ...

Benthic–limnetic morphological variation in fishes: Dissolved organic carbon concentration produces unexpected patterns

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Variation in traits related to foraging and locomotion in benthic and limnetic habitats has been observed in many fishes. Benthic and limnetic food chain productivity in lakes is strongly influenced by the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC ...

Annelid Fauna of the Prince Gustav Channel, a Previously Ice-Covered Seaway on the Northeastern Antarctic Peninsula

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The Prince Gustav Channel is a narrow seaway located in the western Weddell Sea on the northeastern-most tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. The channel is notable for both its deep (>1200 m) basins, and a dynamic glacial history that most recently ...

Food sources drive temporal variation in elemental stoichiometry of benthic consumers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Benthic fauna plays an important role in mediating biogeochemical cycles in coastal areas by storing carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in their body tissues at theoretically homeostatic rates.

Chilling damage to mangrove mollusk species by the 2008 cold event in Southern China

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
The frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme cold events are widely regarded as primary constraints on the upper latitudinal limits of mangroves. Little data are available on the consequences of recovery (or lack thereof) of non‐floristic components
