Dataset of benthic copepods in the littoral zones of Lake Maggiore
Journal of Limnology, 2023 Copepods (Crustacea: Copepoda) are widespread in aquatic ecosystems worldwide and represent an important component of the meiobenthic metazoan assemblages of lake littorals.

ROV’s Video Recordings as a Tool to Estimate Variation in Megabenthic Epifauna Diversity and Community Composition in the Guaymas Basin [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Patterns in benthic megafauna diversity in littoral and intertidal zones in the Gulf of California have been associated with both habitat heterogeneity and substrate type.

Benthic phosphorus cycling in the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) that impinge on continental margins favor the release of phosphorus (P) from the sediments to the water column, enhancing primary productivity and the maintenance or expansion of low-oxygen waters.

A benthic habitat sensitivity analysis of Qatar's coastal zone
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021 Characterizing benthic habitat sensitivities of rapidly-developing countries is of paramount importance. Recent efforts defining the benthic habitat of Qatar's coastal zone with a high-resolution, ground-truthed benthic habitat map has provided a framework on which to develop a habitat sensitivity map.

Distribution of benthic diatoms in the littoral zone of the Gulf of Riga, the Baltic Sea [PDF]
European Journal of Phycology, 2000 The composition (% relative abundance) of the benthic diatom community was studied in the littoral zone (0–5 m) of the NW and E coasts of the brackish, non-tidal Gulf of Riga, in the Baltic Sea. The samples were collected concomitantly with measurements of sediment primary productivity and chlorophyll a during three cruises, representing three seasons (

Reef fishes of Saba Bank, Netherlands Antilles : Assemblage structure across a gradient of habitat types [PDF]
, 2010 Saba Bank is a 2,200 km2 submerged carbonate platform in the northeastern Caribbean Sea off Saba Island, Netherlands Antilles. The presence of reef-like geomorphic features and significant shelf edge coral development on Saba Bank have led to the ...

Amazing Discoveries of Benthic Fauna from the Abyssal Zone of Lake Baikal [PDF]
Biology, 2021 Lake Baikal is a natural laboratory for the study of species diversity and evolution, as a unique freshwater ecosystem meeting the all of the main criteria of the World Heritage Convention. However, despite many years of research, the true biodiversity of the lake is clearly insufficiently studied, especially that of deep-water benthic sessile ...

The role of benthic foraminifera in the benthic nitrogen cycle of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Abstract. The discovery that foraminifera are able to use nitrate instead of oxygen as energy source for their metabolism has challenged our understanding of nitrogen cycling in the ocean. It was evident before that only prokaryotes and fungi are able to denitrify.

Benthic megafauna of the western Clarion-Clipperton Zone, Pacific Ocean
ZooKeys, 2022 There is a growing interest in the exploitation of deep-sea mineral deposits, particularly on the abyssal seafloor of the central Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), which is rich in polymetallic nodules. In order to effectively manage potential exploitation activities, a thorough understanding of the biodiversity, community structure, species ...

Implications of a zoned fishery management system for marine benthic communities [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2004 Summary The impacts of trawls and dredges on marine benthic habitats and communities have been studied extensively, but mostly at small scales and over short time periods. To investigate the large‐scale chronic impacts of towed fishing gears, zoned commercial fishery management systems allow comparison of habitats and communities between areas of ...
