Root puppet masters: Infauna shift trait-productivity relationships in submerged aquatic vegetation communities. [PDF]
While co‐restoration of seagrass and infauna is a viable solution to increase submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) restoration success, more research is needed to understand how infauna affects the drivers of SAV biomass production. In this study, we conducted a transplant experiment with synthetic mixed‐species SAV communities and an infauna treatment ...

A serpulid-Anodontia-dominated methane-seep deposit from the upper Miocene of northern Italy [PDF]
A limestone deposit with an unusual fauna is reported from the late Miocene of northern Italy (Ca’ Fornace site). The petrography of the carbonate and its distinct carbon isotope signature (with δ13C values as low as -57.6‰) clearly identify this ...

Promoting facilitative interactions through plant–bivalve co‐restoration can increase restoration success. The prevalence of positive interactions depends on habitat and environmental conditions such as temperature, and was especially important in subtidal habitats (involving both infaunal and epifaunal bivalves) and in intertidal habitats (involving ...

Bathymodioline mussel dominated Miocene whale fall from Italy [PDF]
The bones of an unidentified odontocete from the Langhian Pantano Formation (~ 15 million years ago), found near the town of Carpineti (Reggio Emilia), Northern Italy, are associated with more than two hundred specimens of the bathymodioline mussel ...

Starchy shells: Residue analysis of precolonial northern Caribbean culinary practices
Determining culinary practices is critical for understanding phytocultural complexes, transported landscapes and human niche constructions. Starch analysis is an exemplary method for reconstructing human–plant dependencies. However, certain types of artefacts from the Greater Caribbean region, such as flaked lithics, lithic griddles, coral artefacts ...

The smaller vesicomyid bivalves in the genus Isorropodon (Bivalvia, Vesicomyidae, Pliocardiinae) also harbour chemoautotrophic symbionts [PDF]
Species of Isorropodon are vesicomyid bivalves for which little information is available regarding host phylogeny and bacterial symbioses. In this study we investigated the symbioses in three Isorropodon species from three cold seep areas: Isorropodon ...
