Going round in cycles but going somewhere: Deciphering cyclical dynamics using Ecological Trajectory Analysis

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Earth's ecological dynamics are largely rhythmic, tied to regular cycles such as seasons, lunar phases, days, or tides. Subdisciplines of ecology such as phenology have developed specific concepts and metrics adapted to describe and analyze cyclical dynamics, but they operate in a largely unidimensional framework.

Latitudinal Gradients of Species Richness in Marine Benthos: Insights From Japan's Tidal Flat Areas

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Latitudinal diversity gradients in species richness were observed in the coasts of Japan. Extensive tidal flats and biogeographical connectivity to the Eurasian Continent may cause the unexpected peak in species diversity at the Kyushu region. Mollusca was the dominant taxonomic group, followed by Malacostraca, Annelida, and other benthic groups ...

Spatial modeling of macrobenthos abundance patterns in Chinese intertidal wetlands under Spartina alterniflora invasion

Ecological Indicators
Macrobenthos play a vital role in coastal wetlands, making their abundance a reliable indicator of ecosystem health and functions. Despite the extensive modification of China's intertidal zones by Spartina alterniflora, its specific impact on ...

Effects of Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum culture on the macrobenthic community

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Macrobenthic bioturbation affects the environment, and variances in habitat, such as decreased dissolved oxygen concentration and increased ammonia concentration, affects the macrobenthic community.

A UAV‐based deep learning pipeline for intertidal macrobenthos monitoring: Behavioral and age classification in Tachypleus tridentatus

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 242-259, April 2026.
The endangered tri‐spine horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus), a “living fossil” crucial to coastal ecology and biomedical research, is experiencing severe population declines. Effective conservation requires efficient monitoring, which traditional methods cannot deliver at scale. We develop an integrated UAV deep learning framework tailored to this

STRUCTURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF MACROBENTHOS IN THE SUBLITTORAL ZONE OF THE VLADIMIR BAY, JAPAN SEA

Известия ТИНРО, 2018
Bottom substrates and structure and distribution of macrobenthos in the sublittoral zone of the Vladimir Bay (northwestern Japan Sea) were surveyed in July 2012 and 2014. The substrates were identified and their spatial patterns were described.

Species Diversity and Community Structure of Macrobenthos in the Cosmonaut Sea, East Antarctica

Diversity, 2023
The Cosmonaut Sea is an under-studied area and a “white spot” for macrobenthos research. Here, we report on the species diversity and community structure of macrobenthos collected using tringle trawls on the 38th Chinese National Antarctic Research ...

Meiofauna Biodiversity and Community Structures in the Barents Sea and Nansen Basin Are Influenced by Benthic Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Benthic meiofauna in the Barents Sea were investigated for spatiotemporal variability and taxonomic composition. ABSTRACT Meiobenthic metazoans occur worldwide and are a cornerstone of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we investigate the composition of meiobenthic communities along a transect in the Barents Sea and Nansen Basin and provide the first ...

Investigation on the effects of some environmental factors on abundance and biodiversity of macrobenthos community in Karaj River [PDF]

بوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2021
Macrobenthos community like other animals are affected by their peripheral environment and their diversity is dependent on their sensitivity to the environmental factors.
