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

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 ...

Invasive goldfish trigger a regime shift in experimental lake ecosystems of varying trophic state
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The pet trade distributes exotic animals around the globe that enrich human lives. However, some pets become pests when released into the wild. This study provides experimental evidence that goldfish will negatively affect native freshwater organisms and ecosystems.

Benthos-DETR: a high-precision efficient network for benthic organisms detection
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe intelligent, automated, and high-precision detection of underwater targets represents a challenging yet pivotal issue in marine science. Enhancing the localization accuracy of marine organisms holds significant importance for marine scientific ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

The superposition method for the reconstruction of food webs
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding trophic positions is essential for analysing complex food webs. While calculating these positions can be straightforward when feeding relationships and their proportions are known, determining diet coefficients traditionally requires substantial time and effort.

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.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Marine gastrotrichs inhabit sediments with limited available light, yet evidence suggests that photoreceptor organs are present throughout the phylum Gastrotricha. Here, we confirm this proposition with ultrastructural descriptions of photoreceptive organs in two species of Xenotrichulidae (Order Chaetonotida) that lack pigmented ocelli ...

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.
