Mechanical Properties Of Sediment Determine Burrowing Success And Influence Distribution Of Two Lugworm Species [PDF]

, 2017
We apply new perspectives on how organisms burrow by examining the association of in situ variation in sediment mechanical properties with burrowing ability and species distribution of two sympatric lugworms, Abarenicola pacifica and Abarenicola ...

Demography and dynamics of giant kelp cohorts across four decades: Lessons for conservation and resilience planning

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Kelp forests throughout many temperate zones are in decline due to various human stressors, chiefly marine warming. Conservation measures including restoration are presently of great interest and focus on both historical and novel methodologies.

Low faunal diversity on Maltese sandy beaches : fact or artefact? [PDF]

, 2003
Eight sandy beaches on Malta and two on Gozo were sampled for macrofauna to test the hypothesis that Maltese beaches have an intrinsically low diversity.

Evaluating Prey Availability for the Rice's Whale (Balaenoptera ricei) Based on Environmental DNA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
To characterize the prey community of the critically endangered Rice's whale, we employed environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding in its core habitat. Our multi‐marker approach detected significantly greater fish biodiversity than concurrent trawl surveys and revealed a higher prevalence of key prey taxa.

Unifying microorganisms and macrograzers in intertidal rocky shore ecological networks

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Over the past decades, our understanding of the vital role microbes play in ecosystem processes has greatly expanded. However, we still have limited knowledge about how microbial communities interact with larger organisms. Many existing representations of microbial interactions are based on co‐occurrence patterns, which do not provide clear ...

Impacts of in vivo and in vitro exposures to tamoxifen: comparative effects on human cells and marine organisms [PDF]

, 2019
Tamoxifen (TAM) is a first generation-SERM administered for hormone receptor-positive (HER+) breast cancer in both pre- and post-menopausal patients and may undergo metabolic activation in organisms that share similar receptors and thus face comparable ...

The Seasonal Rhythms of Coastal eDNA: Insights Into Biodiversity and Regional Detection Patterns

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Seasonal variation affects environmental DNA (eDNA) detection, yet its influence on species monitoring remains underexplored. This study examines eDNA detection windows across taxa, primers, and regions, finding that most species have short detection periods (1–2 months) that vary with taxonomy and primer choice. These results underscore the importance

Density-dependent growth of the polychaete Diopatra aciculata

Scientia Marina, 2006
Effects of intraspecific density on growth of the tube-building polychaete Diopatra aciculata (Onuphidae) were examined over a three-month period within a marine worm aquaculture facility.

Effects of ocean acidification on invertebrate settlement at volcanic CO2 vents [PDF]

, 2010
We present the first study of the effects of ocean acidification on settlement of benthic invertebrates and microfauna. Artificial collectors were placed for 1 month along pH gradients at CO2 vents off Ischia (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy).
