Patterns of Diversity of the Rissoidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Region [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2012 The geographical distribution of the Rissoidae in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea was compiled and is up-to-date until July 2011. All species were classified according to their mode of larval development (planktotrophic and nonplanktotrophic ...

Dispersal ability, habitat characteristics, and sea-surface circulation shape population structure of Cingula trifasciata (Gastropoda: Rissoidae) in the remote Azores Archipelago [PDF]
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background In the marine realm, dispersal ability is among the major factors shaping the distribution of species. In the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, the Azores Archipelago is home to a multitude of marine invertebrates which, despite their dispersal ...

New species of Rissoidae (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the Archipelago of the Azores (northeast Atlantic) with an updated regional checklist for the family [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2015 Four new species of shallow-water marine gastropods belonging to the family Rissoidae are described from the Archipelago of the Azores: Setia alexandrae sp. n., S. ermelindoi sp. n., S. netoae sp. n., and Manzonia martinsi sp. n. These novelties increase

Micromollusk families in 2 contrasting seasons in Bahia de los Angeles, Gulf of California, Mexico
Ciencias Marinas, 2023 Marine mollusks provide important ecosystem services. They create habitats for benthic organisms, filter water, biodeposit organic carbon in the seafloor, and serve as food sources for other organisms. Studies of mollusk diversity require time-consuming

Natural Biota’s Contribution to Cultured Aquatic Animals’ Growth in Aquaculture Cannot Be Ignored
Aquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 The rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry is accompanied by high organic and nutrient loadings from formulated feeds. This leads to water deterioration and pathogenic microorganisms. Natural biota (e.g., bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and zoobenthos) in ponds form important parts of cultured aquatic animals’ diets.

Methane-flow system within the Nyegga pockmark field, offshore mid-Norway
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 We investigated fluid seepage within the Nyegga pockmark field (600–900 m water depths) off mid-Norway from Remotely Operated Vehicle dives at the so-called CNE sites (CNE01 to CNE17).

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1207-1227, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim The aim was to investigate the evolutionary origins of the striking biodiversity contrast between high‐ and low‐latitude regions in the present day. Is this a relatively recent phenomenon, causally linked in some way to the greenhouse–icehouse transition and onset of global cooling c.

Identification of Fine‐Scale Marine Benthic Ecoclines by Multiple Parallel Ordination
Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 The species‐environment relationship is a fundamental structural property of natural ecosystems. Marine sedimentary macrofauna is known to be structured by a range of environmental variables; however, the mechanisms by which environmental variables covary to form complex‐gradients (i.e., groups of intercorrelated environmental variables), and how these
