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.

Technical Note: Determination of the metabolically active fraction of benthic foraminifera by means of Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Benthic foraminifera are an important component of the marine biota, but protocols for investigating their viability and metabolism are still extremely limited.

Architected Load Paths Enable Stiffening and Motion Programming in Soft Pneumatic Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A single MARS template introduces an architected reinforcement strategy for programmable soft pneumatic actuators through internal structural organization and selective beam removal. This monolithic architecture enables deformation reconfiguration from continuous bending to joint‐like articulation and torsional motion, allowing one compliant platform ...

Physiological controls on seawater uptake and calcification in the benthic foraminifer Ammonia tepida [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To analyze the relation between seawater uptake and calcification, we incubated juveniles of the benthic foraminifer Ammonia tepida with various fluorescent probes and visualised them afterwards with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Vesicle membranes,

Scenario-Based Productivity and Potential Long-Term Carbon Retention for Mesophotic Kelp Habitats in the Southwestern Atlantic

open access: yesCoasts
Mesophotic kelp habitats may contribute to marine carbon cycling, yet their productivity and long-term carbon retention remain poorly constrained. We assessed a depth-constrained analytical support domain for the endemic and endangered Brazilian kelp ...

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 ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Quantifying zoobenthic blue carbon storage across habitats within the Arctic’s Barents Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionThe Arctic sea ice extent in September (when it is at its lowest) has declined 13% Q10 per decade, and the Arctic Ocean is becoming a more Atlantic-influenced system.

Bioactivity of Benthic and Picoplanktonic Estuarine Cyanobacteria on Growth of Photoautotrophs: Inhibition versus Stimulation

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2011
Understanding potential biochemical interactions and effects among cyanobacteria and other organisms is one of the main keys to a better knowledge of microbial population structuring and dynamics.
