Responses of an abyssal meiobenthic community to short-term burial with crushed nodule particles in the south-east Pacific [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2019
Increasing industrial metal demands due to rapid technological developments may drive the prospection and exploitation of deep-sea mineral resources such as polymetallic nodules.

Response of the benthic biomass-size structure to a high-energy submarine canyon

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionBody size regulates all biological processes, including growth, reproduction, metabolism, trophic interactions, etc., and is the master trait across organisms, populations, and communities.

Biogeographical Distribution of River Microbial Communities in Atlantic Catchments. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
We discovered different factors affecting river microbial communities (RMC) diversity and composition across Atlantic catchments in Europe. Prokaryote diversity was mainly influenced by topography and geology, while eukaryotic groups were driven by land use and cover.

Integrating ocean observations across body‐size classes to deliver benthic invertebrate abundance and distribution information

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 692-706, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Invertebrate animals living at the seafloor make up a prominent component of life globally, spanning 10 orders of magnitude in body size over 71% of Earth's surface. However, integrating information across sizes and sampling methodologies has limited our understanding of the influence of natural variation, climate change and human activity ...

First insights into the meiofauna community of a maerl bed in the Bay of Brest (Brittany)

Scientia Marina, 2022
Maerl beds, particularly those of Brittany, are important, structurally complex biogenic coastal habitats that form a unique ecosystem with high benthic biodiversity.

Biases and distribution patterns in hard‐bodied microscopic animals (Acari: Halacaridae): Size does not matter, but generalism and sampling effort do

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 7, Page 821-833, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The interplay between distribution ranges, species traits and sampling and taxonomic biases remains elusive amongst microscopic animals. This ignorance obscures our understanding of the diversity patterns of a major component of biodiversity.

Metabarcoding reveals high‐resolution biogeographical and metaphylogeographical patterns through marine barriers

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 515-527, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim It has been predicted that there should be concordance between biogeographical and phylogeographical processes structuring multi‐species regional assemblages. We hypothesise that oceanographic barriers in the marine environment affect concomitantly the distribution and the connectivity of the marine biota, thus producing congruent ...

Benthic biomass size spectra in shelf and deep-sea sediments [PDF]

, 2014
The biomass distributions of marine benthic metazoans (meio- to macro-fauna, 1 ?g–32 mg wet weight) across three contrasting sites were investigated to test the hypothesis that allometry can consistently explain observed trends in biomass spectra ...

Does the kinorhynch have a hydrophobic body surface? Measurement of the wettability of a meiobenthic metazoan [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
The body surface of aquatic invertebrates is generally thought to be hydrophilic to prevent the attachment of air bubbles. In contrast, some interstitial invertebrates, such as kinorhynchs and some crustaceans, have a hydrophobic body surface: they are ...

Sediment Accumulation and Carbon Burial in Four Hadal Trench Systems

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 127, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Hadal trenches are considered to act as depocenters for organic material, although pathways for the material transport and deposition rates are poorly constrained. Here we assess focusing, deposition and accumulation of material and organic carbon in four hadal trench systems underlying different surface ocean productivities; the eutrophic ...
