Conus ateralbus eating polychaete worm
<p>Conus ateralbus was consuming a polychaete worm. The specimen did not bury itself as it consumed the worm — it was thus exposed the entire time it was feeding on its prey. </p ...

Marine invertebrates and fishes exhibit inconsistent body size responses to ocean acidification
Abstract Body size is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms that determines physiological functions and life‐history traits. Ecological theory predicts that ocean acidification can cause body size reductions, confirmed by several studies reporting miniaturization in ectotherms.

Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats
Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.

Studies on environmental resistomes in polychaete gut microbiome from polluted estuaries
IntroductionAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health concern, and understanding the processes driving its growth is crucial.MethodologyThe study investigates the link between heavy metal/biocide (BMRGs) and antibiotic resistance genes ...

In ecological field studies where species‐level identification is challenging, practical approaches based on external morphological traits may provide a useful basis for rapid assessments. Here, New Zealand serpulid worms were initially grouped based on their external calcareous tube morphology and subsequently sequenced using the 18S rRNA gene to ...

Oxygen as a control on seafloor biological communities and their roles in sedimentary carbon cycling
13C tracer experiments were conducted at sites spanning the steep oxygen, organic matter, and biological community gradients across the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone, in order to quantify the role that benthic fauna play in the short-term processing of

Squids are important components of marine ecosystems because of their role as both predator and prey. Across the Tasman Sea, Gould's arrow squid (Nototodarus gouldi) is a commercially targeted ommastrephid squid that supports an economically important fishery.
