Benthic communities and their drivers: A spatial analysis off the Antarctic Peninsula
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Limnology and Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1002/lno.11187
Abstract: Multiple environmental factors control benthic community patterns, and their relative importance varies with spatial scale. Since this variation is difficult to evaluate quantitatively, extensive sampling across a broad range of spatial scales is required. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12526-017-0679-2
Abstract: The extreme dynamics of the Amazonian coast and associated mudbanks raises questions about their unknown resistant infauna. In order to fill the gap, we investigated the seasonal variations of species composition, abundance and population structure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.csr.2021.104394
Abstract: Abstract The value of subsea pipelines as habitat for fish and benthic species is being considered, particularly by the oil and gas industry as they look to decommission seafloor infrastructure reaching the end of production.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2018.11.012
Abstract: Abstract Understanding shifts in benthic communities along gradients over time is of crucial importance in estuarine ecology and for conservation. Yet studies considering historical data and both taxonomic and functional aspects are rare. We analysed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115825
Abstract: The distinct spatial variability in microplastic concentrations between marine regions and habitats calls for a better understanding about the transport pathways of this omnipresent pollutant in the marine environment. This study provides empirical evidence that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2021.105520
Abstract: The distribution and organisation of benthic organisms on tropical reefs are typically heterogenous yet display distinct zonation patterns across depth gradients. However, there are few datasets which inform our understanding of how depth zonation in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2022.113358
Abstract: Biological invasions are considered one of the most important drivers of biodiversity loss. Here we use a before-after-control-impact (BACI) design to investigate the impact of Rugulopteryx okamurae on the structure of shallow-water marine benthic communities… read more here.

Bathyal feasting: post-spawning squid as a source of carbon for deep-sea benthic communities
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.2096
Abstract: In many oceanic carbon budgets there is a discrepancy between the energetic requirements of deep-sea benthic communities and the supply of organic matter. This suggests that there are unidentified and unmeasured food sources reaching the… read more here.
