Patterns of Macrofaunal Biodiversity Across the Clarion-Clipperton Zone: An Area Targeted for Seabed Mining

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Macrofauna are an abundant and diverse component of abyssal benthic communities and are likely to be heavily impacted by polymetallic nodule mining in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ).

Cryptofauna Associated With the Epilithic Algal Matrix on Subtropical Brazilian Reefs

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The epilithic algal matrix (EAM) plays a significant role in the benthic cover of reefs worldwide. In Brazil, the EAM accounts for a substantial proportion of the benthos, and its associated fauna contributes to the majority of the reef's metazoan biodiversity and is an important link into the trophic chain, connecting the production performed

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 3, 19 January 2026.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Responses of Oligochaeta and Chironomidae to restoration of connectivity in a river–floodplain stretch of the Upper Danube River

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Introduction In the Upper Danube River, a key goal of river–floodplain restoration is to enhance hydrological connectivity and reduce aquatic habitat isolation and terrestrialization. To evaluate restoration effectiveness, it is crucial to understand the functional responses of freshwater biodiversity and the role of connectivity and ...

Warming seas: Native Sargassum species at risk

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3561-3575, December 2025.
Abstract Sargassum species play a critical role in tropical and temperate coastal ecosystems by contributing to primary production and providing habitat to different species, while causing ecological disruptions and social challenges in some localities.

Effects of experimental in situ seabed disturbance on deep‐sea macrofaunal communities of Chatham Rise, Southwest Pacific

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1422-1459, December 2025.
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.

Effects of an experimental in situ seabed disturbance on deep‐sea benthic ecosystem function and macro‐infaunal community structure on the Chatham Rise, Southwest Pacific

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1496-1529, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Expansion of extractive industries to deep‐sea environments will lead to increased stresses on seafloor ecosystems. We examined changes in environmental parameters following direct and indirect experimental benthic disturbance using a modified plough on the Chatham Rise (∼450 m water depth), Aotearoa/New Zealand. Measurements included sediment
