Benthic trophic interactions in an Antarctic shallow water ecosystem affected by recent glacier retreat [PDF]
, 2015 The western Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing strong environmental changes as a consequence of ongoing regional warming. Glaciers in the area are retreating rapidly and increased sediment-laden meltwater runoff threatens the benthic biodiversity at ...

Dual stable isotope abundances unravel trophic position of estuarine nematodes [PDF]
, 2005 The role and quantitative importance of free-living nematodes in marine and estuarine soft sediments remain enigmatic for lack of empirical evidence on the feeding habits and trophic position of most nematode species.

Functional impact and trophic morphology of small, sand‐sifting fishes on coral reefs
Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 1936-1948, August 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Oligotrophic tropical coral reefs are built on efficient internal energy and nutrient cycling, facilitated by tight trophic interactions. In the competition for available prey, some small fishes have evolved to feed on apparently barren sand patches that connect hard ...

Below‐ground ecosystem engineers enhance biodiversity and function in a polluted ecosystem
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 2094-2105, August 2022., 2022 Global seafloor habitats are becoming increasingly degraded and novel strategies that combine biodiversity restoration with remediation are urgently needed to return function. Tube‐building bioturbators can stimulate nutrient processing in sediments proving multiple functional outcomes, but these effects are dependent on the receiving environment.

Scientia Marina, 2010 The effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on Galician sandy beach ecosystems, six months after the Prestige oil spill, was evaluated using the meiobenthos at a higher taxon level as an indicator. Meiobenthos community structure, environmental

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2018 The farming of the non-indigenous bay scallop Argopecten irradians in coastal waters generates large amounts of biodeposits that potentially change the trophic pathways and quality of the benthic food web at lower trophic levels such as meiobenthos.

Abundance of small individuals influences the effectiveness of processing techniques for deep-sea nematodes [PDF]
, 2010 Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans of deep-sea benthic communities, but knowledge of their distribution is limited relative to larger organisms.

Cellulase activity in meiobenthos in wetlands [PDF]
Fisheries Science, 2011 To validate the involvement of meiobenthos in cellulose breakdown in wetlands, meiobenthos were collected from sediments of Lake Furen and the Biwase River in Hokkaido Prefecture, the Kako River in Hyogo Prefecture, and the Chinai River in Shiga Prefecture.

Scientia Marina, 2023 Salt marshes are regarded as among the most productive coastal ecosystems, important “blue carbon” sinks and a support for benthic communities with large abundances, whose structure may be strongly influenced by salt marsh vegetation.
