DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2019.106324
Abstract: Abstract Macrobenthos is used commonly in disturbance-related studies of coastal ecosystems, including those that evaluate invasions by non-native species (NIS), but still little is known about temporal variation in community characteristics, especially in bays and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2017.07.004
Abstract: It is unknown whether the presence of hard substrate is a necessary prerequisite for the attachment and establishment of mussels, especially on soft-sediment habitats where hard substrates are scarce. Therefore, we examined the importance of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jglr.2019.03.007
Abstract: Abstract Soft-sediment deformation structures of different types and sizes are frequently observed in the lacustrine deposits of Lake Van. According to sedimentary features and regional factors, these structures are categorized as non-seismic originated and seismically-induced,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2018.08.021
Abstract: Abstract Earthquakes-related soft-sediment deformations (seismites) are relevant structures to help reconstructing the palaeoseismicity in a region. Nevertheless, although seismites have been described for a large variety of palaeo-environments and stratigraphic settings, they are rare and,… read more here.
