Enhanced benthic biodiversity and primary productivity with reduced turbidity in a coastal receiving environment

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Sediment loading from land and turbidity in coastal waters has increased because of human activities in coastal catchments and through climate‐related increases in storm intensity and frequency. Here, we investigated changes in coastal seafloor biodiversity and ecosystem function across a suspended sediment concentration gradient in a New ...

Ascidians increase in abundance on tropicalized reefs and may enhance benthic nitrous oxide production

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an ozone‐depleting greenhouse gas that has a global warming potential nearly 300 times greater than carbon dioxide. Although the oceans contribute about 21% of atmospheric global N2O emissions, we know relatively little about N2O dynamics in nearshore systems. Here, we document the fourfold increase in the abundance of a

Benthos of Lake Orta in the year 1996

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2001
Lake Orta has been interested since 1926 by severe industrial pollution, due to the effluents of a rayon (artificial silk) factory that discharged huge amounts of copper and ammonia.

Resistance of groundwater invertebrates to droughts: Two new cases in planarians and isopods

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Benthic invertebrate communities are deeply influenced by hydrological variability in surface freshwater habitats. However, the responses of macroinvertebrates composing stygofauna in aquifers and unsaturated groundwater environments are not well ...

Pressurized plankton observatory offers a new window into deep‐sea larval behavior

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The High‐Pressure Plankton Observatory (HiPPO) is designed to quantify motions of zooplankton for behavioral study, including swimming and metabolic responses to environmental perturbations. It builds on prior chamber designs while filling gaps in capability for resolving orientation of small (< 1 mm) plankton, tracking their movements over ...

Remotely sensing coral bleaching in the Red Sea

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Coral bleaching, often triggered by oceanic warming, devastates coral reef systems, resulting in substantial alterations to biodiversity and ecosystem services. For conservation management, an effective technique is needed to not only detect and monitor coral bleaching events but also to predict their severity levels.

Marine heatwaves amplify benthic community metabolism and solute flux in a seafloor heating experiment

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The magnitude and frequency of marine heatwaves are increasing and predicted to intensify, but our ability to understand the real‐world effects on vital benthic ecosystems is lagging behind.

MAKROAVERTEBRATA BENTOS SEBAGAI BIOINDIKATOR KUALITAS AIR SUNGAI NIMBAI MANOKWARI, PAPUA BARAT

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Pertanian Indonesia, 2017
Benthos macroinvertebrates have been used as bioindicators to assess the waters quality of the stream, but still are very rarely to applied in West Papua streams.

Tolerance of organisms composing an Arctic kelp community to ocean warming and marine heatwaves

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
These results suggest that Arctic kelp communities are fairly tolerant to warming and short‐term marine heatwaves, despite the few minor effects on photosynthesis by some of the kelp species. We note that the future response of kelp communities must account for the potential indirect effects of climate change, such as predation and competition, along ...

Shifting microbial communities in acidified seawaters: insights from polychaetes living in the CO2 vent of Ischia, Italy

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The microbiome of polychaetes Syllis prolifera and Platynereis massiliensis complex changes in naturally acidified CO2 vents. A slight degree of acidification is associated with relevant changes in the microbial community, stressing the importance of investigations about the possible effects of ocean acidification on key biological and ecological ...
