Abstract: Abstract Bioturbation (i.e. particle reworking and bio-irrigation) is a key process in benthic coastal and estuarine ecosystems, and act as crucial control on important ecosystem functions, such as nutrient cycling. Particle reworking and bio-irrigation are… read more here.

Abstract: Building man-made structures in coastal seas are often preceded by dredging operations, inducing turbid plumes of suspended sediment. To study the effects of such high-concentration sediment plumes on the suspension-feeding polychaete Lanice conchilega, a laboratory… read more here.
