Origin of High Density Seabed Pockmark Fields and Their Use in Inferring Bottom Currents

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
Some of the highest density pockmark fields in the world have been observed on the northwest Australian continental shelf (>700/km2) where they occur in muddy, organic-rich sediment around carbonate banks and paleochannels.

Short-term effects of CO₂-induced low pH exposure on target gene expression in Platynereis dumerilii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Objective: Increasing atmospheric CO₂ concentration are causing changes to the seawater carbonate chemistry, lowering the pH and we study potential impacts of these changes at the molecular level in a non-calcifying, marine polychaete species Platynereis

Use of isotope dilution method to predict bioavailability of organic pollutants in historically contaminated sediments. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Many cases of severe environmental contamination arise from historical episodes, where recalcitrant contaminants have resided in the environment for a prolonged time, leading to potentially decreased bioavailability.

Polychaete Diversity Related to Different Mesophotic Bioconstructions along the Southeastern Italian Coast

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
In the different mesophotic bioconstructions recently found along the Southeastern Italian coast, polychaetes have been proved to show high species richness and diversity, hitherto never investigated.

Final report : benthic samples taken from the Padre Island National Seashore [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
From March 1989 through January 1992 sediment samples were taken from subtidal areas within the boundary of the Padre Island National Seashore. These samples were taken as part of a large multidisciplinary study to determine how a hot, hypersaline ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
An important priority for any organism is to maintain internal cellular homeostasis including acidbase balance. Yet, the molecular level impacts of changing environmental conditions, such as low pH, remain uncharacterised.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Differential expression of conserved germ line markers and delayed segregation of male and female primordial germ cells in a hermaphrodite, the leech helobdella. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In sexually reproducing animals, primordial germ cells (PGCs) are often set aside early in embryogenesis, a strategy that minimizes the risk of genomic damage associated with replication and mitosis during the cell cycle.

Nutritional value and biochemical composition of two new tropical polychaete species: Potential use as feed ingredients

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society
Polychaetes are a promising intertidal resources due to their widespread distribution, considerable biomass, and high nutrition value. The nutritional profiles of two novel tropical polychaetes species (Marphysa sp.
