Exploring benthic habitat assessments on coral reefs: a comparison of direct field measurements versus remote sensing
Coral reefs are spatially variable ecosystems that form biogenic structures ranging in size from 10 to 1000s of meters. Their changes in response to...

Benthic exometabolites and their ecological significance on threatened Caribbean coral reefs
Benthic organisms are the architectural framework supporting coral reef ecosystems, but their community composition has recently shifted on many...

Marine Algae and Their Importance
Simple, non-flowering marine algae are a diverse group that range in size from unicellular (2 μm to 30 m) to multicellular forms (kelps up to 70 m)....

Algae from Secondary Endosymbiosis
The photosynthetic world is not only dominated by the green color of trees and plants.

Long term benthic survey demonstrates a shift in the composition of benthic reef communities at shallow sites in Roatán, Honduras
Coral reefs ecosystems are facing an unprecedented decline due to the action of natural and anthropogenic stressors. The Caribbean Sea is considered...

How do substrate types affect the seasonal richness and functional feeding groups variation of benthic insects in an arid region (northeastern Algeria)?
The diversity of bottom substrates is a primary driver of taxonomic richness and species abundance patterns of freshwater benthic insects in space...

Differences in diversity and community assembly processes between planktonic and benthic diatoms in the upper reach of the **sha River, China
Comparing spatio-temporal patterns between planktonic and benthic algae is helpful for understanding their associations and differences. However,...

Sunfish as zooplankton control agents to improve yields of wastewater-cultivated algae
Wastewater algal cultivation (WAC) in outdoor raceway ponds is a promising means of removing nutrient pollutants from water while producing biomass...

Invading bivalves replaced native Mediterranean bivalves, with little effect on the local benthic community
The construction of the Suez Canal connected the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, which allowed rapid marine bio-invasion. Over the last century,...

Decadal stability of coral reef benthic communities on Palmyra Atoll, central Pacific, through two bleaching events
The prevalence of coral bleaching due to thermal stress has been increasing on coral reefs worldwide. While many studies have documented how corals...

Parasites alter food-web topology of a subarctic lake food web and its pelagic and benthic compartments
We compared three sets of highly resolved food webs with and without parasites for a subarctic lake system corresponding to its pelagic and benthic...

Cyanobacteria/Blue-Green Algae
Dating back to the earliest period of geological time (Archean), cyanobacteria are the oldest known photoautotrophic organisms that release oxygen...

Studies of Lacustrine Phytoperiphyton: Current Trends and Prospects Considering Algae-Bacteria Interactions
Abstract—For many years, traditional studies of phytoperiphyton have focused on its role in biogeochemical cycles, food chains, and on its use as an...

Diversity of marine benthic algae from Cantabria (Eastern Cantabrian, Spain): a historical overview of research and publications
The macroalgal flora of Cantabria (north of Spain) has attracted the interest of many researchers on past occasions. Currently published information...

Early successional trajectory of benthic community in an uninhabited reef system three years after mass coral bleaching
Severe thermal stress events occurring on the backdrop of globally warming oceans can result in mass coral mortality. Tracking the ability of a reef...

Interspecific occupancy-abundance relationship of benthic diatoms changes seasonally with attachment mode in a tropical river
The positive occupancy-abundance relationship (OAR) is considered a ubiquitous pattern and well explained by species niches. However, OAR can change...

Degradation of benthic ecosystem properties of Mejillones Bay (SE Pacific): implications for coastal management
Ecosystem macroscopic properties given by Ascendency theoretical framework were compared between two multispecies mass-balanced trophic models of the...

An experimental study of benthic habitat selection in yellow-phase American eels (Anguilla rostrata)
In a laboratory experiment, we quantified microhabitat use of small yellow-phase American eels ( Anguilla rostrata , n = 130, 224–338 mm TL)...

Composition and Structure of Benthic Algocenoses of a Large Eutrophic River (Using the Example of the Oka River, Russia): II. Abundance Parameters and Species Diversity of Communities
AbstractThe quantitative (abundance and biomass) development and spatial heterogeneity of the species structure (species diversity, evenness, and...

Ecosystem engineering kelp limits recruitment of mussels and microphytobenthic algae
Ecosystem engineers often exert strong effects on the recruitment of other species through modification of the local abiotic and biotic environment....
