Shallow infaunal responses to the Deepwater Horizon event: Implications for studying future oil spills

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Infaunal sedimentary communities underpin marine ecosystems worldwide. Understanding how disturbances such as oil spills influence infauna is therefore important, especially given that oil can be trapped in sediments for years or even decades.

A bioturbation classification of European marine infaunal invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Bioturbation, the biogenic modification of sediments through particle reworking and burrow ventilation, is a key mediator of many important geochemical processes in marine systems.

Re-description of Dysponetus joeli Olivier et al., 2012 (Polychaeta, Chrysopetalidae), with a new key to species of the genus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Dysponetus is a genus of the family Chrysopetalidae with twelve currently described species. Specimens are fragile and easily damaged or broken during sampling making identification difficult. The most recently described species, Dysponetus joeli Olivier

Infestation of Polydora rickettsi (Polychaeta: Spionidae) in shells of Crepidula fecunda (Mollusca: Calyptraeidae) in relation to intertidal exposure at Yaldad Bay, Chiloe, Chile

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2005
We studied the infestation of the burrowing polychaete Polydora ricketsi on the shells of Crepidula fecunda in relation to the degree of intertidal exposure in Yaldad Bay (Chile). 175 specimens of C.

The macrozoobenthic community of the Santa Gilla lagoon (southern Sardinia, Italy) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
1 - Macrozoobenthos is one of the most significant communities of hydrobionts for assessing the ecological state of a water body. In spite of its importance, only few data concerning the macrobenthic community of Santa Gilla lagoon are available; 2 ...

Changes in seagrass polychaete assemblages after invasion by Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Chlorophyta: Caulerpales): community structure, trophic guilds and taxonomic distinctness

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2010
A two-year study focusing on the associated polychaete assemblages revealed that the degradation of the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows, together with the colonisation of rhizomes by invasive Caulerpa racemosa in the Balearic Islands, have produced ...

Distribution of Polychaeta in soft-bottoms of a Galician Ria (NW Spain)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2008
Macrobenthic polychaete distributions were studied along the soft-bottoms of the Ensenada de San Simón (Galicia, NW Spain). Results suggest that the distribution and abundance of polychaetes in the inlet were highly dependent on depth, sediment ...

A new species of Euclymene (Maldanidae, Annelida) from Brazil, with new combinations, and phylogenetic implications for Euclymeninae

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
Maldanids are tube-building polychaetes, known as bamboo-worms; inhabit diverse marine regions throughout the world. The subfamily Euclymeninae was proposed to include forms with anal and cephalic plates, a funnel-shaped pygidium, and a terminal anus ...
