Investigating pelagic biodiversity and gelatinous zooplankton communities in the rapidly changing European Arctic: An eDNA metabarcoding survey

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 3, May–June 2024.
In this study, we implement eDNA metabarcoding to investigate patterns of pelagic diversity in the European Arctic. We successfully detected a wide range of taxa belonging to the marine metazoan and gelatinous zooplankton communities. We demonstrate vertical patterns of diversity as well as relationships between taxa and water mass indicators such as ...

Scolelepis (Polychaeta: Spionidae) from the Brazilian coast with a diagnosis of the genus

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2012
Five species of Scolelepis have been reported for the Brazilian coast. This study raises this number, with two new records: S. acuta Treadwell, 1914, originally from Eastern Pacific, and Scolelepis andradei Delgado-Blas, Díaz & Liñero-Arana, 2009, from ...

Species delimitation and phylogenetic relationships of the Prionospio complex (Annelida, Spionidae) in the Northeast Atlantic

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 358-375, May 2024.
Abstract The Prionospio complex comprises the most diverse and complex group within the polychaete family Spionidae. The phylogenetic relationships within the group are still poorly understood, and the generic breakdown is unstable. In this study, we assessed the diversity, relationships, and distribution of species of the Prionospio complex occurring ...

Functional structure and diversity of marine benthos reflect food availability and quality, as evidenced by isotopic diversity

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 757-771, April 2024.
Abstract Organic matter (OM) resources shape not only the trophic diversity of benthic communities but also the diversity of benthic functional traits. The resulting community structure has a direct effect on many ecosystem processes and functions.

Intensive temporal and spatial sampling of polychaete biodiversity reveals significant implications for impact assessment and marine park design

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Intensive temporal and spatial sampling of benthic infauna have rarely been analysed to improve impact assessment or conservation planning. An impact assessment started in the late 1980s in Jervis Bay (Australia) provided a spatially, temporally and taxonomically comprehensive benthic invertebrate dataset.

Algal cover as a driver of diversity in communities associated with mussel assemblages across eastern Pacific ecoregions

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 45, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Research on intertidal mussel assemblages and associated communities has revealed that complexity and structure are influenced by environmental heterogeneity and local‐scale factors affecting recruitment. Research in situ in eastern and western Pacific intertidal ecosystems has suggested drivers of species diversity and community structure ...
