Response of Benthic Fauna to Habitat Heterogeneity in a Shallow Temperate Lake
Animals, 2021 We investigated the response of benthic macroinvertebrates in the eulittoral, infralittoral, and sublittoral zones, in two segments of the freshwater Lake Wicko on the coast of the Baltic Sea.

Marine invertebrate and seaweed biodiversity of continental coastal Ecuador [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020 This study summarises the diversity of living macroinvertebrates and seaweeds from the intertidal and subtidal rocky shores along Ecuadorian continental coast. Benthic macroinvertebrate communities and seaweeds were quantified over quadrants (50 × 50 cm)

Feature Space Exploration For Planning Initial Benthic AUV Surveys [PDF]
Field Robotics (2023), 3, 652-686, 2021 Special-purpose Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are utilised for benthic (seafloor) surveys, where the vehicle collects optical imagery of the seafloor. Due to the small-sensor footprint of the cameras and the vast areas to be surveyed, these AUVs can not feasibly collect full coverage imagery of areas larger than a few tens of thousands of ...

Spatial heterogeneity of coral reef benthic communities in Kenya.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Spatial patterns of coral reef benthic communities vary across a range of broad-scale biogeographical levels to fine-scale local habitat conditions. This study described spatial patterns of coral reef benthic communities spanning across the 536-km coast ...

Burrowing dynamics of aquatic worms in soft sediments [PDF]
PNAS 116 25569-25574 (2019), 2020 We investigate the dynamics of \textbf{\textit{Lumbriculus variegatus}} in water-saturated sediment beds to understand limbless locomotion in the benthic zone found at the bottom of lakes and oceans. These slender aquatic worms are observed to perform elongation-contraction and transverse undulatory strokes in both water-saturated sediments and water ...

Benthic transition zones in the Atlantic gateway to a changing Arctic ocean
Progress in Oceanography, 2022 The biogeographic transition from boreal to Arctic marine communities entails a strong taxonomic and functional turnover. Communities living in these areas are being strongly affected by climate warming with rapid reorganizations and change in ecosystem functioning.

Benthic phosphorus cycling within the Eurasian marginal sea ice zone [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2020 The Arctic Ocean region is currently undergoing dramatic changes, which will likely alter the nutrient cycles that underpin Arctic marine ecosystems. Phosphate is a key limiting nutrient for marine life but gaps in our understanding of the Arctic phosphorus (P) cycle persist.
