Environmental variables, pesticide pollution and meiofaunal community structure in two contrasting temporarily open/closed false bay estuaries [PDF]

, 2011
Environmental variables (including natural and anthropogenic stressors) and meiobenthic communities were sampled in a ‘natural’ (Rooiels) and a ‘disturbed’ (Lourens) estuary in the Western Cape, South Africa, bimonthly for 20 months. A primary aim of the

FISH, a new tool for in situ preservation of RNA in tissues of deep‐sea mobile fauna

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 273-292, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Accessing the metabolic functioning of deep‐sea animals in situ remains a technological challenge as the recovery time of samples is incompatible with the short lifespan of such molecules as mRNAs. Tools able to preserve RNA in situ exist, but they are incompatible with the study of mobile fauna.

Marine heatwaves amplify benthic community metabolism and solute flux in a seafloor heating experiment

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The magnitude and frequency of marine heatwaves are increasing and predicted to intensify, but our ability to understand the real‐world effects on vital benthic ecosystems is lagging behind.

State of the art of the meiofauna of Brazilian Sandy Beaches

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography
In Brazil, meiofauna studies began in the middle of last century, but they adopted a purely taxonomical approach, describing species from various zoological groups. After this first step, this benthic group was largely neglected until the end of the 20th

CO2 leakage can cause loss of benthic biodiversity in submarine sands [PDF]

, 2019
One of the options to mitigate atmospheric CO2 increase is CO2 Capture and Storage in sub-seabed geological formations. Since predicting long-term storage security is difficult, different CO2 leakage scenarios and impacts on marine ecosystems require ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Aquatic food webs in restored marshes: a stable‐isotope approach in the Gironde estuary (SW France)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Intertidal marshes are important habitats for nekton. However, historical draining and dyking hampered European coastal wetlands. Marsh restoration is therefore critical not only to improve their capacity to protect coastal lines but also to rehabilitate their ecological functionalities. The benefits of intertidal marsh restoration for nekton community

After the Fall: Legacy Effects of Biogenic Structure on Wind-Generated Ecosystem Processes Following Mussel Bed Collapse [PDF]

, 2019
Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) are ecosystem engineers with strong effects on species diversity and abundances. Mussel beds appear to be declining in the Gulf of Maine, apparently due to climate change and predation by the invasive green crab, Carcinus ...
