Biotic changes and a salinity increase (from 13 to 40 g.L-1) occurred in Lake Qarun (Egypt) since 1901. Was salinity increasing a cause of observed biotic changes? To answer this question we used benthos as a model group.

ABSTRACT Amid progressing climate change, this study investigated the interactive effects of water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and shell length on Fulvia mutica, a shallow‐coastal water bivalve, focusing on the combined impacts of elevated temperature and moderate hypoxia.

On the contribution of the benthos to pelagic production [PDF]
Annual production and consumption of oxygen were compared in large outdoor mesocosms differing only in the presence or absence of an intact benthic community and associated sediments.

ABSTRACT Microeukaryotes are important components of microbial food webs in saline and alkaline lakes, yet their diversity and distribution across distinct microhabitats remain poorly understood. We characterized microeukaryotic communities associated with microbialites, microbial mats, hypersaline waters, and sediments in the desiccating maar lake ...

Climatic rainfall regime shapes energy flow, trophic structure, and secondary production in streams
Abstract Changes in precipitation patterns linked to climate change have profound implications for the structuring and functioning of riverine ecosystems. This study investigates how rainfall influences secondary production by examining nine rivers across a sharp natural rainfall gradient over 3 years.

BRIGHT LIFE IN THE BENTHOS [PDF]
![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 ...

Evaluation of Bega River Water Quality Using Biotic Indices
The main purpose of the topic is to research ecological indices resulting from the analysis of zoo-benthos communities in order to use them combined as a method of diagnosing the water quality of the Bega River in the area of Timisoara.

Abstract Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by local and global stressors. Traditional visual reef monitoring methods are time‐intensive and provide only a snapshot of reef condition. Recent efforts aim to measure reef metabolism, or the balance of net community production (NCP) and net community calcification (NCC), as coral reef carbonate ...
