Towards Benthic Habitat 3D Mapping Using Machine Learning Algorithms and Structures from Motion Photogrammetry

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The accurate classification and 3D mapping of benthic habitats in coastal ecosystems are vital for developing management strategies for these valuable shallow water environments.

Fish Assemblage Structure in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Is Associated with the Architectural Complexity of Coral-Reef Habitats

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
The architectural complexity of coral-reef habitat plays an important role in determining the assemblage structure of reef fish. We investigated associations between the reef habitats and fish assemblages in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) using

Spatial variability in the hyporheic zone refugium of temporary streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A key ecological role hypothesized for the hyporheic zone is as a refugium that promotes survival of benthic invertebrates during adverse conditions in the surface stream.

Biotic interactions in freshwater benthic habitats [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the North American Benthological Society, 2010
AbstractWe summarized studies on the impacts and scale effects of negative (competition, predation, parasitism, herbivory) and positive (mutualism, commensalism, indirect facilitation) species interactions in freshwater benthic habitats since ∼1986 and focused on organisms with mainly or entirely aquatic life cycles.

Faunal response to benthic and hyporheic sedimentation varies with direction of vertical hydrological exchange [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
1. Sedimentation and clogging of benthic and hyporheic zone substrates is increasingly being recognised as one of the greatest threats to the ecological integrity of riverine ecosystems globally. This ex-situ study examined the influence of sedimentation

The Sensitivity of Multi-spectral Satellite Sensors to Benthic Habitat Change

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Coral reef ecosystems are under stress due to human-driven climate change and coastal activities. Satellite-based monitoring approaches offer an alternative to traditional field sampling measurements for detecting coral reef composition changes ...

Changes in invertebrate assemblage composition in benthic and hyporheic zones during a severe supraseasonal drought [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Droughts are unpredictable disturbances characterized in streams by declining flow, reduced habitat availability, and deteriorating abiotic conditions.

Assessment of Sentinel-2A multispectral image for benthic habitat composition mapping

open access: yesIET Image Processing, 2020
Sentinel-2A accuracy for benthic habitat composition mapping was tested and compared to ALOS AVNIR-2. Aerial image acquired using custom-made unmanned aerial vehicle was used to train and validate the model.

Home range and habitat use by Kemp's Ridley turtles in West-Central Florida [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The Kemp's ridley turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) is an endangered species whose recovery depends in part on the identification and protection of required habitats.

Coupling interaction between biodiversity and aquatic habitat area in Western Route Project vicinity

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2010
The Western Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project will divert water from the upper Yangtze River and its tributaries, the Dadu River and Yalong River, to the upper Yellow River.
