Variation in Meiofaunal Abundance and Composition Across an Estuarine Bay: Do They Comprise a Coherent and Distinct Entity Displaying Contrasting Patterns to the Macrofauna? [PDF]
Ecol EvolIs division of marine animals into macrofauna and meiofauna merely an arbitrary convenience, or, as has been claimed, does their size difference render them distinct and independent entities evolved under different ecological constraints? Those in the Knysna estuarine bay did not behave as distinct and discrete ecological entities, their individual ...

Diverging Food Web Functioning Around Southampton Island, Nunavut: The Influence of Primary Production Supply and Bathymetry. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSouthampton Island hosts two distinct benthic sub‐webs, north and south. North is deeper, phytoplankton‐driven; South is shallower, more ice‐algae driven. North benthos: bottom‐up control, four trophic levels including apex predators. South benthos: walrus top‐down control, trophic truncation to three levels.

Stress-linked morphological change associated with rearing techniques of hatchery-reliant endemic landlocked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar m. sebago). [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Domestication effects caused by hatchery rearing impact various traits in fishes. Lake Saimaa landlocked salmon (Salmo salar m. sebago) have been dependent on hatchery propagation for over 50 years. The population is therefore at risk of hatchery‐induced phenotypes, which can be suboptimal in the wild, thus impacting the long‐term viability of

Zoobenthos of the Lednické rybníky ponds
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2014 Qualitative and quantitative composition of macrozoobenthos was studied on the lednické rybníky ponds. Altogether 299 taxa of benthic macroinvertebrates were determined. The values of macrozoobenthos density and biomass ranged between 5–13 021 ind.m–2 and 0.02–79.6 g.m–2 respectively.
