Quantifying zoobenthic blue carbon storage across habitats within the Arctic’s Barents Sea
Frontiers in Marine ScienceIntroductionThe 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.

Identifying “vital attributes” for assessing disturbance–recovery potential of seafloor communities
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Despite a long history of disturbance–recovery research, we still lack a generalizable understanding of the attributes that drive community recovery potential in seafloor ecosystems. Marine soft‐sediment ecosystems encompass a range of heterogeneity from

Let's Get to the Bottom of the Arctic! [PDF]
In this lesson students investigate benthic communities in the deep Arctic Ocean to determine the factors that influence their compositions. As a result of this activity, students will be able to identify the three realms of the Arctic Ocean and describe

Harmonizing Multi-Source Sonar Backscatter Datasets for Seabed Mapping Using Bulk Shift Approaches
Remote Sensing, 2020 The development of multibeam echosounders (MBES) as a seabed mapping tool has resulted in the widespread uptake of backscatter intensity as an indicator of seabed substrate properties.

Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Efficient sampling methodologies for lake littoral invertebrates in compliance with the European Water Framework Directive [PDF]
, 2015 Lake shores are characterised by a high natural variability, which is increasingly threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic disturbances including morphological alterations to the littoral zone. The European Water Framework Directive (EU WFD) calls for

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.This work brings new information on the sexual characteristics of the crocodile shark (Pseudocarcharias kamoharai) exploring the pelvic fin musculature, as well as the siphon sac and the musculature and skeleton of the clasper. Our paper is the first to point out clearly the sexual dimorphism related exclusively to the pelvic fin musculature in males ...
