Abstract The 'taxonomic sufficiency'(TS) approach has been applied to algae, protists,
invertebrates, and vertebrates, generally by aggregating species-level abundance data to a …

Cold-seep benthic communities in the Arctic exist at the nexus of two extreme environments;
one reflecting the harsh physical extremes of the Arctic environment and another reflecting …

The O2 content of the global ocean has been declining progressively over the past decades,
mainly because of human activities and global warming. Nevertheless, how long‐term …

Estuarine ecosystems are considered hotspots for productivity, biogeochemical cycling and
biodiversity, however, their functions and services are threatened by several anthropogenic …

Estuarine ecosystems have very high ecological and economic value, and also act as a
buffer for coastal oceans by processing nutrient inputs from terrestrial sources. However …

Oxygen depleted areas are widespread in the marine realm. Unlike macrofauna, meiofauna
are abundant in hypoxic sediments. We studied to what extent meiofauna affect oxygen …

Nematodes are highly susceptible to environmental change and possess a wide array of
morphological and functional characteristics for the assessment of the “Good Environmental …

Infaunal invertebrates are affected by the overlying water and the sediment in which they
live. Therefore, understanding how these environmental conditions impact infauna is critical …

Coastal areas are facing biodiversity loss and degradation of habitats due to intensified
human activities. However, our understanding of the relative contribution of natural gradients …

Intertidal biodiversity is being severely disrupted as a result of increased anthropogenic
