Identification and characterization of nursery areas of red mullet Mullus barbatus in the Central Tyrrhenian Sea [PDF]

, 2017
Red Mullet Mullus barbatus is an important target of fishing activities in the central Tyrrhenian Sea, so it is essential to identify its critical habitats in order to manage this resource efficiently.

Benthic communities in the deep Mediterranean Sea: exploring microbial and meiofaunal patterns in slope and basin ecosystems [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
The long-held perception of the deep sea consisting of monotonous slopes and uniform oceanic basins has over the decades given way to the idea of a complex system with wide habitat heterogeneity.

Integrating Three-Dimensional Benthic Habitat Characterization Techniques into Ecological Monitoring of Coral Reefs

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Long-term ecological monitoring of reef fish populations often requires the simultaneous collection of data on benthic habitats in order to account for the effects of these variables on fish assemblage structure. Here, we described an approach to benthic

Response of Benthic Invertebrate Communities in River-Changed Ponds to River Habitat Modification in Water-Deficient Area

Tecnología y ciencias del agua, 2019
In water-deficient area, river-changed ponds are common and vital for aquatic species. This paper studies the relationship between the environmental factors and the benthic invertebrate communities in varying ponds under river habitat modifications (RHM).

A novel method for identifying fine-scale bottom-use in a benthic-foraging pinniped

Movement Ecology, 2023
Background For diving, marine predators, accelerometer and magnetometer data provides critical information on sub-surface foraging behaviours that cannot be identified from location or time-depth data.

Benthic and interstitial habitats of a lentic spring as invertebrate refuges during supra-seasonal drought [PDF]

, 2013
Instream refuges are places where invertebrates persist during disturbances due to reduced adverse impacts. During droughts, low flows may be accompanied by elevated temperatures, and potential refuges including subsurface sediments and spring-fed ...

Benthic habitat modelling and mapping as a conservation tool for marine protected areas: A seamount in the western Mediterranean

Aquatic conservation, 2019
An ecologically representative, well‐connected, and effectively managed system of marine protected areas (MPAs) has positive ecological and environmental effects as well as social and economic benefits. Although progress in expanding the coverage of MPAs

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

Remote 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 ...
