Decreasing seagrass density negatively influences associated fauna
PeerJ, 2015 Seagrass meadows globally are disappearing at a rapid rate with physical disturbances being one of the major drivers of this habitat loss. Disturbance of seagrass can lead to fragmentation, a reduction in shoot density, canopy height and coverage, and ...

What is bioturbation? The need for a precise definition for fauna in aquatic sciences
, 2012 The term 'bioturbation' is frequently used to describe how living organisms affect the substratum in which they live. A closer look at the aquatic science literature reveals, however, an inconsistent usage of the term with increasing perplexity in recent

Soil fauna and soil functions: a jigsaw puzzle
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014 Terrestrial ecologists and soil modelers have traditionally portrayed the inhabitants of soil as a black box labeled as "soil fauna" or "decomposers or detritivores” assuming that they just merely recycle the deposited dead plant material. Soil is one of

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Surveying Marine Fauna: A Dugong Case Study
PLoS ONE, 2013 Aerial surveys of marine mammals are routinely conducted to assess and monitor species’ habitat use and population status. In Australia, dugongs (Dugong dugon) are regularly surveyed and long-term datasets have formed the basis for defining habitat of ...
