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

open access: yes, 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).

High-resolution vision in pelagic polychaetes [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology
High-resolution object vision - the ability to separate, classify, and interact with specific objects in the environment against the visual background - has only been conclusively shown to have evolved in three of the thirty-five animal phyla: chordates, arthropods, and mollusks (cephalopods)1.

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Multiple Trophic Levels in Soft-Bottom Communities

open access: yes, 1985
In order to assess the general applicability of recent field experiments with predatory infauna, we searched the literature and found 48 well-documented cases of infaunal consumption by such predators.

Diets of shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis and cormorants P. carbo in Norway and possible implications for gadoid stock recruitment [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The diets of shags and cormorants were studied in Norway through analyses of regurgitated pellets. Although this method has many limitations, indications were that both species rely heavily on small gadoids (Gadidae) and sand eels (Ammodytidae) for food ...

Combining Historical and Ecological Methods Provides New Insights for the Recognition of Biogeographical Areas and Their Relationships: The Case of the Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeographical regionalisation is an evolutionary system of nested areas representing the geographic organisation of life on the planet, which is fundamental for understanding basic and applied aspects related to the ecology, evolution and conservation of biotas and their habitats.

Ecology and Reproduction of Bunodeopsis in Tropical Northwestern Atlantic Seagrass Ecosystems

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The seagrass ecosystems of the Tropical Northwestern Atlantic (TNA) host three described species of sea anemones in the genus Bunodeopsis Andres, 1881 (Enthemonae: Metridioidea: Acuticulata): B. antilliensis, B. globulifera, and B. pelagica.

Population Structure and Reproductive Biology of the Bait Worm Sipunculus cf. nudus in Northeastern Brazil

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sipunculans are unsegmented marine annelids distributed from intertidal to deep sediments, playing important roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystem health. The Sipunculus nudus species complex is exploited as food and bait in several regions, yet reproductive data at the population level remain scarce, especially for Atlantic populations ...

Benthic fauna dynamics following large‐scale seagrass restoration in an exposed environment

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature‐based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales
