ABSTRACT With the possibility of deep‐sea mining of mineral resources occurring, it is necessary to understand potential impacts on benthic communities. Previous simulated mining experiments revealed direct benthic impacts; however, indirect impacts of sedimentation are not well understood.

Biodiversity of macrozoobenthos in a large river, the Austrian Danube, including quantitative studies in a free-flowing stretch below Vienna: a short review [PDF]
The Danube is ca. 2850 km in length and is the second largest river in Europe. The Austrian part of the Danube falls 156 metres in altitude over its 351 km length and, since the early 1950s, the river has been developed into a power-generating waterway ...

Community composition of epibenthic megafauna on the West Greenland Shelf [PDF]
Epibenthic organisms are a critical component of the marine environment, functioning as ecosystem engineers, habitat and food for other organisms. Our knowledge of the diversity, complexity and sensitivities of these habitats is limited, particularly at ...

Increasing Global Expansion Speeds of Marine Invaders
ABSTRACT Aim Quantifying the speed of invasive species range expansion and the mechanisms behind it is a key management goal that also informs ecological theories of spread. Byers et al. found that time since first global introduction (TSI) was the strongest predictor of non‐native range size of coastal marine invertebrates relative to environmental ...

Quality Control Measures for Enhancing Confidence in Nanoscale IR Spectroscopy
Key Points Common lab materials and sample handling may introduce molecular and particulate contaminants detectable by PiFM. We present a spectral database of common contaminant signatures to support accurate nanoscale analysis. We provide practical guidelines to improve preparation, handling, and storage of samples to mitigate contamination, ensuring ...

The Biodiversity of Peter I Island—The Most Remote Island in the World
Peter I Island is one of the most isolated and least visited islands on earth; lying within the Antarctic Polar Front but over 420 km from continental Antarctica. Here we assess the biodiversity of the island from both previous records and our own BioBlitz in January 2022.
