The Application of the Generalized Additive Model to Represent Macrobenthos near Xiaoqing Estuary, Laizhou Bay [PDF]

Biology, 2023
Macrobenthos is widely used as an indicator of ecological health in marine monitoring and assessment. The present study aimed to characterize the interrelationships between the distribution of the macrobenthos community and environmental factors near ...

Seasonal benthic species composition linked to coastal defense structures (CDS) in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background The natural hydrodynamic process of Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, has changed since the extension of Sultan Mahmud Airport runway in 2008. Consequently, severe coastal erosion has occurred in the area, particularly during the northeast monsoon ...

Common Food Sources for Macrobenthic Communities in Different Bottom Covers: Submerged Macrophytes and Benthic Cyanobacteria in a Japanese Temperate Lake [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Macrobenthic communities in a lake are affected by the type of bottom cover such as macrophytes or algae. In the southern basin of Lake Biwa, mats of the benthic cyanobacteria (BC) Microseira wollei widely cover the lake bottom and are interspersed with ...

The predictive model of hydrobiological diversity in the Asana-Tumilaca basin, Peru based on water physicochemical parameters and sediment metal content [PDF]

Heliyon
The hydrobiological diversity in the basin depends on biotic and abiotic factors. A predictive model of hydrobiological diversity for periphyton and macrobenthos was developed through multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) based on the ...

Effect of land use type on macrobenthos assemblages, distribution, and functional guild in Upstream Citarum River

Ecological Indicators
Aquatic community biodiversity is gradually impacted by the expansion and intensification of agricultural and urbanization land use. However, data on macrobenthos responses to land use in tropical streams are relatively limited.

Changes in macrobenthos communities during the invasive Spartina alterniflora removal and mangrove restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science
BackgroundThe mangrove ecosystem has been severely threatened by the invasive species Spartina alterniflora for a long time. The macrobenthos diversity, as a biological indicator for assessing ecosystem sensitivity, can respond sensitively to the removal

The quantitative relationship between macrobenthic carbon and organic carbon in sediments: A case study of the northern continental shelf of the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Macrobenthos play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles and carbon energy exchange. Macrobenthic communities on continental shelves are alimented through the sedimentation of organic material.

Spatial patterns of macrobenthos taxonomic and functional diversity throughout the ecotones from river to lake: A case study in Northern China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Macrobenthos taxonomic and functional diversity are key indicators of ecosystem health. River–lake ecotones are key macrobenthos habitats. However, we don’t fully understand macrobenthos biodiversity patterns in these ecotones.

Responses of the macrobenthic community to cage culture in one tropical lagoon in the South China Sea

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Macrobenthos have been used to monitor the self-pollution of cage culture. Will cage culture inevitably reduce their biomass and biodiversity? A one-year investigation was conducted in a lagoon with a history of cage culture for approximately 20 years ...
