The Red King Crab Paralithodes camchaticus (Tilesius, 1815) (DECAPODA: ANOMURA): The Use of Species Equality Indicators to Assess the Influence on the Benthos of the Barents Sea
AbstractThe “Difference of Evenness” ( D E ) index, based on the ratio of r- and K-strategists in benthic communities was proposed for a quick...

Widespread occurrence of chitinase-encoding genes suggests the Endozoicomonadaceae family as a key player in chitin processing in the marine benthos
Chitin is the most abundant natural polymer in the oceans, where it is primarily recycled by chitin-degrading microorganisms. Endozoicomonadaceae ( Oceanospirillales...

Relations between the Food Spectrum of Fishes and the Composition of Zooplankton and Benthos in a Subarctic Lake
AbstractThe seasonal variations in the biomass of planktonic and bottom invertebrates and their contributions to the diet of perch Perca fluviatilis ...

Benthos-Pelagos Interconnectivity: Antarctic Shelf Examples
This review focuses on studies dealing with the coupling between the benthic and pelagic realms on Antarctic shelves and on factors that regulate...

Benthos meets plankton: isopods sampled in the Japan Trench by means of plankton nets fixed to large bottom trawls
During the KH-23–5 expedition aboard the RV Hakuho Maru to the Kuril-Kamchatka (KKT) and Japan Trenches (JT) in September 2023, we deployed bottom...

Abundance of Zoobenthos on the Nearshore Slope Near the Rocky Coast of the Island of Valaam (Lake Ladoga)
AbstractThe bottom communities of the nearshore zone of the Valaam archipelago (Lake Ladoga) have been investigated. The stations were located in 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...

Life Forms of Aquatic Organisms
This chapter gives a kind of minimal introduction to the organisms living in water, as far as it is needed for an ecology textbook. It will not focus...

Could quagga mussels impact offshore benthic community and surface sediment-bound nutrients in the Laurentian Great Lakes?
Dreissenids have greatly altered ecosystem function within the Great Lakes, but their effects on offshore surface sediments and infaunal communities...

Recovery of tropical marine benthos after a trawl ban demonstrates linkage between abiotic and biotic changes
Bottom trawling, which is highly detrimental to seabed habitats, has been banned in some jurisdictions to mitigate the problems of habitat...

Taxonomic Composition of Macrobenthos of Lake Pleshcheyevo
AbstractIn the macrobenthos of Lake Pleshcheyevo and the adjacent river sites, 112 lower definable taxa (LDTs) have been noted. Chironomids and...

Towards a robust baseline for long-term monitoring of Antarctic coastal benthos
The Southern Ocean represents one of the world regions most sensitive to warming and there is an urgent need for quantitative data to understand...

Temporal and spatial distribution of macrozoobenthos in three lakes of different trophic states: a case study of the Narochianskie lakes (Belarus)
We used macrozoobenthos data (abundance, biomass, and community structure) spanning 69 years including annual surveys from 1997 to 2016 in three...

Transcriptomic response study of brittle star Ophiothrix exigua to sediment burial
During the process of seabed mining, sediment redeposition will lead to the burial of organisms in the seabed environment, resulting in the death of...

Status of Cuban Coral Reefs
Coral reefs worldwide suffer from a combination of anthropogenic factors such as overfishing, habitat degradation, and pollution and environmental...

Fish Parasites in a Hypertidal Estuary of the Penzhina River (the Sea of Okhotsk Basin)
AbstractThe species composition of parasites (114 species) has been studied in the estuary of the Penzhina River. The influence of the specific...

Analysing long-term change in small benthos: geomorphological dynamics affects method selection
In the tidal inlets of the northern Wadden Sea, species composition of selected taxa of the small benthos is compared to a study performed some...

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...

Growth of the Whitefish Coregonus lavaretus (Salmonidae: Coregoninae) in the Ural Tributaries of the Pechora River
AbstractFor the first time, we represent a comparative characteristic of the growth of, presumably, the freshwater form of the whitefish Coregonus...
