Abstract: Abstract This study examined temporal distributions of macrobenthic communities in relation to bottom depth and specifically addressed whether variation in sedimentary dynamics affects species composition and functional structure. Sampling was carried in 2014 (February, May… read more here.

Abstract: 1.Ecological replacement using native mangrove species combined with physical treatments has become an effective method in controlling the spread of invasive Spartina alterniflora. To re-establish ecosystem functions, trophic interactions between macrofauna and their potential food… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0200121
Abstract: Permanent sea-ice cover and low primary productivity in the mostly ice-covered Central Arctic ocean basins result in significantly lower biomass and density of macrobenthos in the abyssal plains compared to the continental slopes. However, little… read more here.
