Testing a method for quantifying structural redundancy in ecological communities

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In ecological communities, some taxa contribute to ecosystem functioning in highly similar ways. When numerous taxa within a community contribute similarly, this might suggest a degree of functional redundancy, where the loss of one species may not impair ecosystem ...

Verification of the macrobenthos state variable during hypoxia.

open access: yes, 2013
Left y-axis: the gray solid line represents modeled macrobenthos biomass and the black dots denote observed macrobenthos biomass from site LE3.2 of the Chesapeake Bay Benthic Monitoring Program in 1992.

Effects of environmental changes on vegetation growth and macroinvertebrate communities of eelgrass meadows in Northern China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Seagrass meadows, along with their associated zooplankton and benthic fauna, have been significantly affected by climate change and human disturbances in recent years. However, the impacts of these changes on seagrass and related macroinvertebrates (both

A Niche for Nasty Nippers: Exploring Harvest Management for Control of Invasive Asian Paddle Crabs in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
The invasive Asian paddle crab Charybdis japonica continues to expand its range across northern Aotearoa New Zealand, raising ecological, social, and economic concerns. This study theoretically assesses whether harvest‐based management—potentially including commercial, recreational, or customary fisheries—could contribute to population suppression ...

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

open access: yesEcological 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.

Dependence of ecological characteristics of macrobenthos on content of organic matter in the coastal zone of the Japan Sea

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2014
Inflow and accumulation of organic matter in the bays at Russian coast of the Japan Sea are evaluated using the data on chemical parameters of seawater and total content of carbon in the bottom sediments.

The community structure of macrobenthos in Batang Lupar estuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A survey on the macrobenthos was carried out at 6 stations in Batang Lupar estuary, Sarawak. The aims of this study are to determine the community structure of macrobenthos which include species richness, species evenness and species diversity, to ...

Allochthonous Leaves as a Substrate for Macrobenthos

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 1986
ABSTRACT The macroinvertebrates of a freshwater canal were analyzed for differentiation of community structure between leaf packs made of water oak, loblolly pine, sweetgum, bald cypress, and black willow. The community responded differently to the various leaf species when tested at the functional feeding and taxa levels.

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

open access: yesEcological 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 ...
