Initial observations of the impacts of infauna on portable free fall penetrometer measurements in sandy parts of Mobile Bay
The seabed surface provides habitat for abundant and diverse fauna, whose burrowing activities have been shown to modify geotechnical properties of...

Deep-sea infauna with calcified exoskeletons imaged in situ using a new 3D acoustic coring system (A-core-2000)
The deep ocean is Earth’s largest habitable space inhabited by diverse benthic organisms. Infauna play crucial roles in sha** sedimentary...

Relationships between benthic infauna and groundwater eutrophication on a sandy beach in southern Brazil
Urban expansion in Brazilian coastal zones has caused various anthropic impacts on coastal marine ecosystems that have resulted from unorganized use...

Temporal and Spatial Trends in Benthic Infauna and Potential Drivers, in a Highly Tidal Estuary in Atlantic Canada
Infaunal invertebrate communities of coastal marine sediments are often impacted by human activities, particularly in harbours and estuaries....
-
Required sampling intensity for community analyses of intertidal infauna to detect a mechanical disturbance
In coastal ecosystems, infaunal (animals living within the sediment) invertebrates are used to study and monitor disturbances. However, it is an open...

Invertebrate Responses to Large- and Small-Scale Drivers in Coastal Phragmites australis Beds in the Northern Baltic Sea
Phragmites australis is a common helophyte, covering much of the sheltered and shallow soft bottoms along the coasts of the Baltic Sea. Despite the...

Short and decadal impacts of seafloor physical perturbation on the abundances of Lebensspuren ‘traces of life’ in the Peru Basin manganese nodule province
Interest in deep-sea mining for polymetallic nodules as an alternative source to onshore mines for various high-technology metals has risen in recent...

Characterization and differentiation of sublittoral sandbanks in the southeastern North Sea
Marine sublittoral sandbanks are essential offshore feeding grounds for larger crustaceans, fish and seabirds. In the southern North Sea, sandbanks...

Biotic Recovery Following Ice-Rafting in a Salt Marsh
Salt marshes provide critical ecosystem services and functions including habitat provision and coastal community protection from storms. Chronic...

Microhabitat associated macrofauna of lotic and lentic systems in the Agbede wetlands, southern Nigeria
Although studies on the macrofauna of lotic and lentic environments are common, investigations on microhabitat associated macrofauna of lotic and...

Long-Term Dynamics of Subarctic Intertidal Macrofauna: Common Trends and the Role of Local Environment
The role of local vs regional drivers of long-term community dynamics is still poorly explored. Intertidal macrofauna was studied in two small bights...
-
Biodiversity associated with restored small-scale mussel habitats has restoration decision implications
The global loss of marine ecosystem engineers has caused an unprecedented decline in biodiversity. Although wild shellfish habitats have been shown...

Recovery of infauna macrobenthic invertebrates in oil-polluted tropical soft-bottom tidal flats: 7 years post spill
Coastal oil spills constitute significant threat to biotic energy distribution, and biodiversity integrity amongst others. This study monitored the...
-
Patterns of Bioturbation and Associated Matter Fluxes
Bioturbation, the biogenic particle and fluid transport in sediments, is generally thought to be important in the context of matter fluxes and...

Changes of Community Structure and Functional Feeding Groups of Benthic Macrofauna After Mangrove Afforestation in a Subtropical Intertidal Zone, China
Afforestation is a primary response to the loss and degradation of mangroves worldwide. The successful restoration of mangrove ecosystems is in part...

Variation of sponge-inhabiting infauna with the state of health of the sponge Lubomirskia baikalensis (Pallas, 1776) in Lake Baikal
Our investigation was conducted during a period of ecological crisis in the coastal zone of Lake Baikal. Mass disease and mortality of the endemic...

Macrofauna communities across a seascape of seagrass meadows: environmental drivers, biodiversity patterns and conservation implications
Similar to other coastal biogenic habitats (e.g. tidal marshes, kelp forests, mangroves and coral reefs), a key function of seagrass meadows is the...

Infaunal invertebrate community relationships to water column and sediment abiotic conditions
Infaunal invertebrates are affected by the overlying water and the sediment in which they live. Therefore, understanding how these environmental...

Gran Tarajal Harbour Oil Spill Recovery
The work done in response to the accident that occurred in Gran Tarajal Harbour could offer a different way to solve similar accidents. Three new...

Univariate and Multivariate Analyses of Metals in Water, Sediment, and Shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) from a Fishing Zone in Laguna Madre, Mexico
The Laguna Madre artisanal fishery accounts for approximately 25% of the total shrimp catch in the Mexican Economic Exclusive Zone in the Gulf of...
