Habitat-specific metabolism and nutrient limitation within an oligotrophic Patagonian lake
In this study, we quantify the differences in gross primary production (GPP), respiration (R), and algal nutrient limitation (nitrogen and...

The Families of Decapod Shrimps
The taxonomy and classification of the ~4400 decapod shrimps are constantly evolving as new research clarifies their nomenclature and relationships....

Distribution and genomic variation of ammonia-oxidizing archaea in abyssal and hadal surface sediments
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota play a central role in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen in benthic sediments, at the...

Unraveling the transcriptomic landscape of eye migration and visual adaptations during flatfish metamorphosis
Flatfish undergo a remarkable metamorphosis from symmetrical pelagic larvae to fully asymmetrical benthic juveniles. The most distinctive features of...

Effects of Habitat-Specific Primary Production on Fish Size, Biomass, and Production in Northern Oligotrophic Lakes
Ecological theory predicts that the relative distribution of primary production across habitats influence fish size structure and biomass production....

Introducing the Ecological Aspects
Combined results from both the BACOSA and SECOS projects highlight structure and function of aquatic Baltic Sea ecosystems in a gradient from land to...

Development and structure of the anterior nervous system and sense organs in the holopelagic annelid Tomopteris spp. (Phyllodocida, Errantia)
Tomopteridae are transparent, predatory Annelida inhabiting pelagic ocean zones. Despite being well-known for their fast metachronal swimming and...

Biology and Ecology of the Benthic Algae
This chapter describes the diversity of the microscopic and macroscopic benthic algal assemblages of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, including ecological...

Oceanographic influence on the early life-history stages of benthic invertebrates during the polar night
Recent research has illuminated biological processes taking place during the polar night in the high Arctic, while simultaneously, the polar regions...

Sediment underneath charophyte meadows is enriched in viable ephippia and enhances the benthic periphytic biofilm
We contribute to the knowledge of charophyte meadows as key components of aquatic systems by analysing how they affect wetland sediments. We...

Environmental Components of the Marine Otter Habitat of Peru
The habitat of the marine otter Lontra felina in Peru extends along the coastline from 9°S to 18°S within the Humboldt Current System. Oceanographic...

Coloration, Color Change, and Camouflage
Many shrimp species display various color patterns which are most often a camouflage adaptation. In color variable habitats, disruptive color...

Benthic communities at the marine protected area Namuncurá/Burdwood bank, SW Atlantic Ocean: detection of vulnerable marine ecosystems and contributions to the assessment of the rezoning process
The objectives of the present study were to characterize the benthic invertebrate communities at the Marine Protected Area (MPA) Namuncurá/Burdwood...

Carbon budget trends in octocorals: a literature review with data reassessment and a conceptual framework to understand their resilience to environmental changes
Although octocorals are a key component of marine hard-bottom systems, their feeding performance is still poorly understood. Understanding carbon...

Host-specific symbioses and the microbial prey of a pelagic tunicate (Pyrosoma atlanticum)
Pyrosomes are widely distributed pelagic tunicates that have the potential to reshape marine food webs when they bloom. However, their grazing...

A systematic review of the trophic ecology of eight ecologically and culturally important fish species in the North American Arctic
Rapid climate change occurring in the Arctic may affect the diet of ecologically and culturally important northern fish species. Here, a systematic...

The Shrimps: An Overview
Shrimps are long-tailed crustaceans closely related to other familiar animals such as crayfishes, lobsters, and crabs. They are important food items...

Hydrozoan Diversity and Distribution in Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve
Hydrozoans are inconspicuous marine invertebrates which have received sparse attention in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In the present study,...

The effects of the nonnative brittle star Ophiothela mirabilis Verrill, 1867 on the feeding performance of an octocoral host in a southwestern Atlantic rocky shore
The Pacific epizoic brittle star Ophiothela mirabilis Verrill, 1867 has widely spread and colonized hosts at high densities along the Western...

Differences in food web structure and composition between new and nearby older lakes in West Greenland suggest succession trajectories driven by glacier retreat
With the retreat of glaciers, new ponds and lakes are often formed. These are gradually colonised and become more productive as vegetation develops...
