Environmental Gradient Favours Functionally Diverse Macrobenthic Community in a Placer Rich Tropical Bay

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The present paper examines the functional diversity‐environment relation in a placer rich tropical bay. Understanding the environmental variables that determine the biodiversity pattern will help in the effective conservation plans of coastal habitat. However, few studies have been carried out on the biodiversity‐environment relation from the diverse ...

Maerl Bed Conservation: Successes and Failures

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Most ecoregions lack data on maerl distribution and ecological status, so this needs fundamental research for conservation. Brittany, NW France, is an exception and has extensive research on maerl species, associated biodiversity, human‐induced impacts and protection efforts.

Mangrove Rehabilitation on Highly Eroded Coastal Shorelines at Samut Sakhon, Thailand

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The study site is currently retreating at a rate of 20 m y−1 due to severe coastal erosion and found to be highly polluted as revealed from the water, sediment and biological analysis. In an attempt to prevent coastal erosion, 14,000 Rhizophora mucronata (RM) trees were planted across a heavily eroded shoreline at Samut Sakhon, Thailand.

The Diversity of Molluscs in Seagrass Ecosystem of Wondama Bay, West Papua, Indonesia

Ilmu Kelautan
Papua, Indonesia is located in the Coral Triangle and is home to many marine creatures. Some areas of Papua, however, remain underexplored, particularly in terms of the diversity of mollusc and their seagrass bed habitat.

Response of Microbial Communities to Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material–Contaminated Sediments: A Microcosm‐Based Study

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 1648-1661, July 2024.
Abstract There is a growing need to understand the potential ecological impacts of contaminants in offshore oil and gas infrastructure, especially if that infrastructure is to be left in situ as a decommissioning option. Naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) is one type of contaminant found in solid deposits on internal surfaces of ...

Shell Shape Analysis and Spatial Allometry Patterns of Manila Clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) in a Mesotidal Coastal Lagoon

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
While gradual allometric changes of shells are intrinsically driven by genotype, morphometrical shifts can also be modulated by local environmental conditions. Consequently the common use of a unique dimension (usually length) to assess bivalves’ growth may mask phenotypic differences in valve shape among populations.

A Middle Triassic Cassian‐type fauna (Pelsa‐Vazzoler Lagerstätte) and the adaptive radiation of the Modern evolutionary fauna

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract We describe a high‐diversity silicified assemblage of marine molluscs (Pelsa‐Vazzoler Lagerstätte) from the upper Ladinian of the Agordo Dolomites (northeastern Italy). New data on the Triassic rebound, after the end‐Permian mass extinction, constrain it to an interval of relatively stable climatic conditions.

Benthic Macrofauna Associated with Submerged Bottoms of a Tectonic Estuary in Tropical Eastern Pacific

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The composition and distribution of the main associations of submerged macrobenthos of Bahía Málaga (Colombian pacific coast), were studied in relation to the distribution of hard and soft substrates and some abiotic factors. Eight localities were sampled during six months: three in the external border of the estuary and five in the inner part.
