Sediment reworking by marine benthic species from the Gullmar Fjord (Western Sweden): Importance of faunal biovolume [PDF]
In order to compare and quantify sediment reworking activities by different species/functional groups of macrofauna, a laboratory experiment was carried out with species from the Gullmarsfjord (Western Sweden).

Bacterial carbon biomass calculated from biovolumes
Fundamental and Applied Limnology, 1998A conversion factor (CF) for the transformation of bacterial biovolumes to carbon biomass was calculated from measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) and bacterial biovolumes (BV) in a large number of bacterial growth experiments from both freshwater and marine systems.

Improved biovolume estimation of Microcystis aeruginosa colonies: A statistical approach
Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2018The Microcystis aeruginosa complex (MAC) clusters many of the most common freshwater and brackish bloom-forming cyanobacteria. In monitoring protocols, biovolume estimation is a common approach to determine MAC colonies biomass and useful for prediction purposes.

Methods for the estimation of the biovolume of microorganisms: A critical review
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, 2017AbstractBiomass estimation is central in most microbial plankton ecology studies. Numerous advances have been made that rendered this task more and more effective, from the introduction of allometric volume‐to‐carbon conversion factors to the development of submersible flow‐through imaging devices. Although several ingenious methods have been suggested

Biovolume as a tool in biomass determination of Oligochaeta and Chironomidae
Freshwater Biology, 1993SUMMARY We used biovolume as a simple non‐destructive means for estimating biomass for several tubificid and chironomid species. Biovolumes were determined by treating the organisms as cylinders and measuring body lengths and diameters; estimates were verified by measuring the displacement of water by live organisms in a 5‐ml burette.

The Significance of Hyphal Diameter in Calculation of Fungal Biovolume
Oikos, 1979Three ways to calculate average hyphal cross section in agarfilm slides were compared in a field study including 5 soil horizons sampled 4 times. The method of calculation strongly affected the estimated value for soil fungal biovolume. Biovolume estimated with the different methods varied by more than 30%.

Digital holography as a method for 3D imaging and estimating the biovolume of motile cells
Lab on a Chip, 2013Sperm morphology is regarded as a significant prognostic factor for fertilization, as abnormal sperm structure is one of the most common factors in male infertility. Furthermore, obtaining accurate morphological information is an important issue with strong implications in zoo-technical industries, for example to perform sorting of species X from ...
