Benthic successional dynamics on settlement substrate in coral reefs lagoons
Several factors influence coral reef recovery, including availability of appropriate recruitment surface, which is provided mainly by crustose...

Jeju Island: a sentinel for tracking ocean warming impacts on high-latitude benthic communities
As climate changes and anthropogenic pressures increase, marine ecosystem assembly and functioning are altered. High-latitude areas may provide...

Preferential consumption of benthic cyanobacterial mats by Caribbean parrotfishes
Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous on coral reefs and perform many important ecosystem functions. Benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) have become...

Algae from Primary Endosymbioses
TheRhodophyta red algaeRed algae are a group of important photoautotrophic organisms that include unicellular microalgae as well as large macroalgae...

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...
-
Patterns and drivers for benthic algal biomass in sub-Arctic mountain ponds
This study investigated the spatial variation in total benthic algal biomass and within cyanobacteria, green algae, and diatoms in sub-Arctic ponds....

Deterioration of the Littoral–Benthic Ecosystem Following Recent Expansion of Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) in the World’s Clearest Large Lake
Some biological invasions can result in algae blooms in the nearshore of clear lakes. We studied if an invasive crayfish ( Pacifastacus leniusculus )...

Effect of light intensity on photophysiology and growth dynamics of crustose coralline algae (CCA): implications for the loss of canopy-forming algae
The disappearance of canopy-forming algae in coastal habitats exposes crustose coralline algae (CCA) to varying light conditions during the...

Substratum selection in coral reef sponges and their interactions with other benthic organisms
Substratum preferences and contact interactions among sessile organisms can be a major determinant of biotic gradients in the structure of benthic...

Benthic composition changes on coral reefs at global scales
Globally, ecosystems are being reconfigured by a range of intensifying human-induced stressors. Coral reefs are at the forefront of this...

Benthic Invertebrate Macrofauna
Sandy beach benthic invertebrate macrofauna includes species of several taxonomic groups, with annelids (polychaete worms), mollusks, and crustaceans...

Rapid shift in benthic assemblages following coral bleaching at an upper mesophotic habitat in Taiwan
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; typically, 30–150 m depths) have traditionally been considered potential refuges for shallow-water organisms, but...

Communities of Benthic Algae of Salt Rivers in the Basin of Lake Elton: Taxonomic and Quantitative Structure
AbstractFor the first time, an assessment of the taxonomic and quantitative structure of the phytobenthos of seven saline rivers in the basin of the...
-
Indirect effects of cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus on fish grazing per reef area and benthic community structure
Grazing fishes farm algae, and consume algae, detritus and sediment and consequently differentially modify benthic communities. Manipulations of...

Spatial patterns and drivers of benthic community structure on the northern Adriatic biogenic reefs
The northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) hosts numerous biogenic subtidal reefs that are considered biodiversity hotspots. Several studies have already...
-
Distinct emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds from temperate benthic taxa
IntroductionBiogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are emitted by all organisms as intermediate or end-products of metabolic processes....

Why does the relationship between benthic primary production and lake morphometry vary regionally?
Benthic primary production varies among lakes from 1 to 2000+ mg C m − 2 d − 1 , in part owing to variations in basin shape. First principles predict an...

Taxonomical and Ecological and Geographical Characteristics of Algae in the Khutinsky Nature Reserve (Republic of Tyva, Russia)
AbstractFor the first time, data are presented on the algae of the Khut River and its tributary, the Shivilig River, which flow in the Khutinsky...

Fish and benthic communities in an offshore and well-managed coral reef after bleaching disturbance in the Philippines
Climate change is perhaps the greatest threat to coral reefs worldwide. However, there is spatial variation in the extent and severity of this...

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...
