How Much Shallow Coral Habitat Is There on the Great Barrier Reef?
Remote 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.

Techniques for spatial analysis and visualization of benthic mapping data: final report [PDF]
, 2003 The mapping and geospatial analysis of benthic environments are multidisciplinary tasks that have become more accessible in recent years because of advances in technology and cost reductions in survey systems.

The 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 ...

Potential marine benthic habitat map of Elkhorn Slough, California [PDF]
Regional Studies in Marine Science, 2016 Abstract While marine benthic habitat maps have been created for approximately 34 percent of California’s coastline, Elkhorn Slough currently does not have one. We have mapped for the first time Elkhorn’s seafloor environments using a well-known classification system, which describes large-scale and small-scale features, bottom induration, vegetation,

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Wave exposure as a predictor of benthic habitat distribution on high energy temperate reefs
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 The new found ability to measure physical attributes of the marine environment at high resolution across broad spatial scales has driven the rapid evolution of benthic habitat mapping as a field in its own right.

Biogeographic analysis of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve: Examining the refuge effect following reserve establishment [PDF]
, 2004 Almost 120 days at sea aboard three NOAA research vessels and one fishing vessel over the past three years have supported biogeographic characterization of Tortugas Ecological Reserve (TER).

Seafloor Segmentation Based on Bathymetric Measurements from Multibeam Echosounders Data [PDF]
, 2003 Bathymetric data depicts the geomorphology of the seabottom and allows characterization of spatial distributions of apparent benthic habitats. The variability of seafloor topography can be defined as a texture.
