Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient
ABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.

ABSTRACT The pattern of flow or hydrological connection between a river's main channel and its floodplain can vary seasonally and spatially in frequency, duration, direction, and magnitude. Such variation is expected to promote habitat and biotic diversity.

A test of the River Continuum Concept with copepod functional groups in an Amazonian river [PDF]
The River Continuum Concept (RCC) proposes links between functional groups within assemblages with habitat and ecological characteristics of different river sizes. This theory is supported by extensive evidence from fish and macroinvertebrate assemblages,

Cryptofauna Associated With the Epilithic Algal Matrix on Subtropical Brazilian Reefs
ABSTRACT The epilithic algal matrix (EAM) plays a significant role in the benthic cover of reefs worldwide. In Brazil, the EAM accounts for a substantial proportion of the benthos, and its associated fauna contributes to the majority of the reef's metazoan biodiversity and is an important link into the trophic chain, connecting the production performed

ABSTRACT The ecological responses of urban groundwater ecosystems to anthropogenic pressures are poorly understood. Historic hand pumps offer a simple and promising access point to this hidden habitat and may facilitate the detection of groundwater fauna.

ABSTRACT Epilithic biofilms along a latitudinal gradient of Arctic/alpine lakes and streams were analysed for their composition of algae (incl. cyanobacteria) and meiofaunal assemblages and correlated these with environmental variables. The composition of algal, meiofauna and nematode assemblages differed between lakes and streams.

Mark‐recapture studies using fluorochrome dyes are a valuable approach for validating the age determination of fish, yet the optimal chemical marker and its dosage for adult European flounder (Platichthys flesus Linnaeus, 1758) remain unclear. We assessed the effectiveness of tetracycline hydrochloride and calcein at different concentrations for ...
