Biotransformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in marine polychaetes

open access: yes, 2008
  Udgivelsesdato: 2008-MarDeposit-feeding polychaetes constitute the dominant macrofauna in marine environments that tend to be depositional centers for organic matter and contaminants. Polychaetes are known to accumulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Habitat structure as an alternative explanation for body‐size patterns in the deep sea

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Patterns in body size are important to study as the size of an organism correlates with many biological traits of the organism. Changes in the size distribution of a community can be indicative of environmental change and/or anthropogenic impacts.

Influence of the predatory polychaete Nephtys hombergii on the abundance of other polychaetes

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 1987
Negative relations between abundance of the predatory polychaete Nephtys hombergii and values for biornass and rate of increase in 2 of its prey species, the polychaetes Scoloplos armiger and Heteromastusfiliformis, are evident in long-term (18 yr) data from tidal flats in the westernmost part of the Wadden Sea.

The effects of bioturbation on porewater chemistry and early marine diagenesis: Evidence from a modern intertidal zone in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2120-2142, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Early marine carbonate cements generally form in CaCO3‐supersaturated seawater at the seabed or shallow burial depths, resulting in syn‐sedimentary cemented firmgrounds and hardgrounds. The processes controlling early marine diagenesis are complex, particularly in coastal environments where geochemistry is influenced by different water sources

An EST screen from the annelid Pomatoceros lamarckii reveals patterns of gene loss and gain in animals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background. Since the drastic reorganisation of the phylogeny of the animal kingdom into three major clades of bilaterians; Ecdysozoa, Lophotrochozoa and Deuterostomia, it became glaringly obvious that the selection of model systems with extensive ...

Between and Within Bay Differences in Mesozooplankton Assemblages in the Central and Eastern Baltic Sea: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesBiological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 149-157, September 2026.
Mesozooplankton assemblages differed significantly both between and within Baltic Sea bays, driven mainly by local salinity and temperature gradients. Distinct communities occurred over distances of less than 1 km, demonstrating strong fine‐scale spatial variability.

Seagrass-Associated Biodiversity Influences Organic Carbon in a Temperate Meadow

open access: yesOceans
There is increasing interest in the role that seagrasses play in storing carbon in the context of climate mitigation, but many knowledge gaps in the factors controlling this storage exist.

Polychaetes from Aysen Fjord, Chile: distribution, abundance and biogeographical comparison with the shallow soft-bottom polychaete fauna from Antarctica and the Magellan Province

open access: yesScientia Marina, 1999
This paper analyzes the composition, abundance and biogeographical relationship of the benthic polychaetes collected in three shallow subtidal locations (mouth of Cuervo and Condor rivers and Acantilada Bay) from Aysen Fjord, AF, Chile (45ºS, 73ºW), and ...

Short-term effects of experimental trampling on polychaetes of a rocky intertidal substratum (Asinara Island MPA, NW Mediterranean)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2006
Rocky intertidal platforms at Asinara Island Marine Protected Area (Italy, Mediterranean Sea) were experimentally trampled to assess the impact of human visitation on polychaetes. Trampling at two different experimental intensities (60,120 steps/20x20 cm
