Benthos as a key driver of morphological change in coastal regions [PDF]
Earth Surface DynamicsBenthos has long been recognized as an important factor influencing local sediment stability, deposition, and erosion rates. However, its role in long-term (annual to decadal scale) and large-scale coastal morphological change remains largely speculative.

A Mega-Nourishment (Sand Motor) Affects Landscape Diversity of Subtidal Benthic Fauna
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The Sand Motor is a very large (20 million m3) nourishment constructed along the coast in The Netherlands. The huge volume of sand is redistributed along the coast by natural forces stemming from tidal currents and waves.

Oxygen as a driver of early arthropod micro-benthos evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: We examine the physiological and lifestyle adaptations which facilitated the emergence of ostracods as the numerically dominant Phanerozoic bivalve arthropod micro-benthos. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The PO(2) of modern normoxic seawater

The Recolonization Mechanisms of Stream Benthos [PDF]
Oikos, 1976 The animals recolonizing an area of denuded stream substrate are thought to come from four main sources. These are drift, upstream migration within the water, migration from within the substrate, and aerial sources, e.g., oviposition. An experiment in a Canadian stream showed drift to be the most important source of recolonizing animals, contributing ...

Climate Change and Invasibility of the Antarctic Benthos [PDF]
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2007 Benthic communities living in shallow-shelf habitats in Antarctica (<100-m depth) are archaic in structure and function compared to shallow-water communities elsewhere. Modern predators, including fast-moving, durophagous (skeleton-crushing) bony fish, sharks, and crabs, are rare or absent; slow-moving invertebrates are generally the top predators ...

BRIGHT LIFE IN THE BENTHOS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012 ![Figure][1] Sinking through the inky ocean, it would seem that there is little light at depth: but you'd be wrong. ‘In the mesopelagic realm [200–1000 m] bioluminescence [light produced by animals] is very common’, says Sonke Johnsen from Duke University, USA, explaining that ...

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Climate‐induced flow alteration is decreasing snowpack and advancing snowmelt, subjecting mountain streams to longer low‐flow periods. Yet, anticipating how stream ecosystems respond to prolonged low flows remains challenging because distinct trophic levels can respond differently, and non‐native predators can dampen or amplify responses. Here,
