Technical note: The effects of five different defaunation methods on biogeochemical properties of intertidal sediment [PDF]
Various methods have been used to remove organisms from sediments to investigate structure and function of faunal assemblages in intertidal habitats. Nevertheless, little is known about how these treatments affect properties of the sediments themselves ...

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide
Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

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

Century‐Scale Changes in the Feeding Patterns of Demersal Fish Species in the Western North Sea
ABSTRACT Understanding the extent and magnitude of change in marine food webs requires historical data that predates modern monitoring efforts. Such information can provide invaluable insights into the longer‐term impacts of altered trophic interactions, yet it is rarely incorporated into marine policy frameworks.

Investigation on the effects of some environmental factors on abundance and biodiversity of macrobenthos community in Karaj River [PDF]
Macrobenthos community like other animals are affected by their peripheral environment and their diversity is dependent on their sensitivity to the environmental factors.
