WDS-YOLO: A Marine Benthos Detection Model Fusing Wavelet Convolution and Deformable Attention

Applied Sciences
Accurate marine benthos detection is a technical prerequisite for underwater robots to achieve automated fishing. Considering the challenges of poor underwater imaging conditions during the actual fishing process, where small objects are easily occluded ...

Trawling disturbance on benthic ecosystems and consequences on commercial species: a northwestern Mediterranean case study

Scientia Marina, 2014
Trawling is known to disturb benthic communities and habitats, which may in turn indirectly affect populations of commercial species that live in close association with the seabed.

Marine invertebrates and fishes exhibit inconsistent body size responses to ocean acidification

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Body size is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms that determines physiological functions and life‐history traits. Ecological theory predicts that ocean acidification can cause body size reductions, confirmed by several studies reporting miniaturization in ectotherms.

Secondary production (zooplankton and benthos)

, 1983
In order to understand the dynamics of an ecosystem, it is necessary to determine the contribution of the different groups to total biomass as well as to evaluate their turnover rates and the amount of organic matter that each produces per unit time.

Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.

The Battle of Helminths Deep: Molecular Insights Into Oegopsid Squid Parasites in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Cephalopods play crucial roles in marine ecosystems due to their diverse and indispensable contributions to trophic webs. However, parasitological research on cephalopods remains limited in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), despite the commercial significance of certain squid species and the zoonotic potential of the parasites within them. This study aimed to

Ecological Characteristics of Stream Reaches With and Without Low‐Tech Process‐Based Restoration in a Wildfire‐Affected Catchment

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1022-1037, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Low‐tech process‐based stream restoration (LTPBR) is increasingly implemented following wildfire, underscoring the need to evaluate restoration outcomes in burned catchments. To help address this need, we measured abiotic and biotic characteristics of a reach that received LTPBR, an untreated reach, and a reach with relict beaver activity that

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) Dynamics at the Sediment‐Water Interface in the North Sea: Implications for Global Benthic DOM Fluxes

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Sediment–water exchange of dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents a critical yet poorly constrained component of the marine carbon cycle. Here, we combine quantitative, molecular, and carbon isotope (δ13C and F14C) analyses to investigate the production, composition, and export of porewater DOM in the German Bight, North Sea, and evaluate ...

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1561-1577, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...
