Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.

Effects of beach remourishment on the benthic macrofauna and the fishes of the nearshore zone at Sebastian Inlet State Recreation Area [PDF]
Approximately 100,000 cubic yards of sand was transported to the ocean beach to renourish the eroded beach front during the period December 1985 through May 1986.

How does the local species richness (LSR) of stream invertebrate communities relate to the terrestrial productivity of the stream catchment? Using generalized linear models and variance partitioning, we quantified the independent and joint effects of local and catchment predictors on LSR of hyporheic invertebrate communities in New Caledonia streams ...

A survey of the marine environment near the city of Monterey ocean outfall [PDF]
The California Department of Fish and Game and the State Water Resources Control Board (through Regional Board #3, Central Coast) entered into an agreement whereby Department biologist-divers conducted a subtidal ecological investigation of the marine ...

Simultaneous determination of in situ vertical transitions of color, pore-water metals, and visualization of infaunal activity in marine sediments [PDF]
The vertical color transition from brown to gray-green in marine sediments is linked to the Fe redox boundary and is commonly used as a proxy for biogeochemical state. We combine time-lapse sediment profile imaging with diffusive gradient thin (DGT) gels

ABSTRACT With the possibility of deep‐sea mining of mineral resources occurring, it is necessary to understand potential impacts on benthic communities. Previous simulated mining experiments revealed direct benthic impacts; however, indirect impacts of sedimentation are not well understood.

Macrofaunal community structure and zonation of an Ecuadorian sandy beach (Bay of Valdivia) [PDF]
The sandy beach macrofauna of the Bay of Valdivia (Ecuador) was sampled in August-September 1999 along six replicate transects between the high and low water line. The sediment consisted of well-sorted, fine to medium sand.

Wetland biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand: an eDNA perspective on exotic and non‐exotic species
ABSTRACT Invasive species threaten biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand. In wetlands − significant sites that provide an array of ecosystem and cultural services but represent <10% of their original extent − invasive species can affect hydrological function, nutrient regimes and overall ecological functionality.

Ribbon worm relationships: a phylogeny of the phylum Nemertea [PDF]
We present the most extensive phylogenetic analysis to date, to our knowledge, of higher-level nemertean relationships, based on sequence data from four different genes (the nuclear genes for nuclear large subunit rRNA (28S rRNA) and histone H3 (H3), and the mitochondrial genes for mitochondrial large subunit rRNA (16S rRNA) and cytochrome c oxidase ...
