Preliminary Data on the Bioturbation Activity of Hediste Diversicolor (Polychaeta, Nereididae) from the Loire Estuary, France [PDF]
, 2012 The ragworm Hediste diversicolor (O. F. Müller, 1776) plays a key role in the estuarine water-sediment interface. This scientific project comes under the framework of the International network Nereis Park Experiment gathering 27 laboratories from all ...

Imaging Oxygen Distribution in Marine Sediments. The Importance of Bioturbation and Sediment Heterogeneity [PDF]
, 2008 The influence of sediment oxygen heterogeneity, due to bioturbation, on diffusive oxygen flux was investigated. Laboratory experiments were carried out with 3 macrobenthic species presenting different bioturbation behaviour patterns:the polychaetes ...

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021 Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Raised water temperature enhances benthopelagic links via intensified bioturbation and benthos-mediated nutrient cycling [PDF]
PeerJSediment reworking by benthic infauna, namely bioturbation, is of pivotal importance in expansive soft-sediment environments such as the Wadden Sea. Bioturbating fauna facilitate ecosystem functions such as bentho-pelagic coupling and sediment nutrient ...

Burial and reactivity of sedimentary microalgal lipids in bioturbated Mediterranean coastal sediments [PDF]
, 2003 The fate of microalgal lipid biomarkers in marine coastal sediments when acted on by natural bioturbation processes (Carteau Bay, Gulf of Fos, Mediterranean Sea) was studied under laboratory conditions.

Deep-Sea Echinoid Trails and Seafloor Nutrient Distribution: Present and Past Implications
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The movement patterns of deep-sea bioturbational fauna are believed to be the result of the organism’s interactive response to the perceived spatial distribution of nutritional resources on the seafloor.
