Classifying the Baltic Sea Shallow Water Habitats Using Image-Based and Spectral Library Methods

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2013
The structure of benthic macrophyte habitats is known to indicate the quality of coastal water. Thus, a large-scale analysis of the spatial patterns of coastal marine habitats enables us to adequately estimate the status of valuable coastal marine ...

Satellite remote sensing and bathymetry co-driven deep neural network for coral reef shallow water benthic habitat classification

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Shallow-water benthic habitat classification of coral reefs based on satellite remote sensing is an important part of coral reef monitoring. Leveraging its potent capacity for feature learning, and generalization, deep learning emerges as a robust method

Benthic marine habitats in Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Benthic habitats in Antarctica differ from those in other parts of the world in severa l important characteris­ lies. Most of the Southe rn Ocean overlies the abyssal plain, whe re the sediments are primarily siliceous. Icc-rafted debris provides isolated patches of hard substra tum but otherwi se littl e is known of the biology of the deep-sea in ...

Wildfires cause rapid changes to estuarine benthic habitat

open access: yesEnvironmental Pollution, 2022
Estuaries are one of the most valuable biomes on earth. Although humans are highly dependent on these ecosystems, anthropogenic activities have impacted estuaries worldwide, altering their ecological functions and ability to provide a variety of important ecosystem services.

Patterns of Sponge Abundance Across a Gradient of Habitat Quality in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sponges are important components of reef communities worldwide, fulfilling a number of important functional roles. Habitat degradation caused by the loss of hard corals has the potential to cause increases in sponge abundance and percentage cover as they

Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...
