Bioerosion in a changing world: a conceptual framework [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2018
AbstractBioerosion, the breakdown of hard substrata by organisms, is a fundamental and widespread ecological process that can alter habitat structure, biodiversity and biogeochemical cycling. Bioerosion occurs in all biomes of the world from the ocean floor to arid deserts, and involves a wide diversity of taxa and mechanisms with varying ecological ...

Ichnodiversity and bathymetric range of microbioerosion traces in polar barnacles of Svalbard

Polar Research, 2020
This first comprehensive investigation of microbioerosion traces in polar barnacles addresses two bathymetrical transects from the intertidal down to subtidal water depths in two different carbonate factories in the Svalbard Archipelago: the bay ...

Domichnial Borings in Serpulid Tube Walls: Prosperous Benthic Assemblages in the Cretaceous of France and the Czech Republic

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The calcareous tubes inhabited by some polychaetes (some Serpulidae and the sabellid Glomerula) which are adapted to live sticking in soft ground, starting from the Permian, represent widespread but widely neglected and understudied substrates for ...

Sponge bioerosion accelerated by ocean acidification across species and latitudes? [PDF]

, 2014
In many marine biogeographic realms, bioeroding sponges dominate the internal bioerosion of calcareous substrates such as mollusc beds and coral reef framework.

BIOERODED AND OR ENCRUSTED AMMONITE MOULDS AND THEIR TAPHONOMIC IMPLICATIONS

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2000
Encrustation and/or bioerosion have been observed on both sides of several ammonites sampled from Lower-Middle Toarcian Rosso Ammonitico of the Umbria-Marche Apennines (Central Italy).

Succession and Colonization Dynamics of Endolithic Phototrophs within Intertidal Carbonates

Microorganisms, 2020
Photosynthetic endolithic communities are common in shallow marine carbonates, contributing significantly to their bioerosion. Cyanobacteria are well known from these settings, where a few are euendoliths, actively boring into the virgin substrate ...

Black Mantle Tissue of Endolithic Mussels (Leiosolenus spp.) Is Cloaking Borehole Orifices in Caribbean Reef Corals

Diversity, 2022
Bioerosion caused by boring mussels (Mytilidae: Lithophaginae) can negatively impact coral reef health. During biodiversity surveys of coral-associated fauna in Curaçao (southern Caribbean), morphological variation in mussel boreholes was studied ...

Which attributes of restored oyster reefs provide the best habitat for sportfish?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration practitioners seek to restore oyster ecosystems as habitat designed for species targeted by recreational fisheries, but they require information on which specific habitat parameters of oyster reefs are preferred by fish.

Temperate carbonate cycling and water mass properties from intertidal to bathyal depths (Azores) [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2010
The rugged submarine topography of the Azores supports a diverse heterozoan association resulting in intense biotically-controlled carbonate-production and accumulation. In order to characterise this cold-water (C) factory a 2-year experiment was carried
