Ecotoxicology research is using many methods for engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), but
the collective experience from researchers has not been documented. This paper reports the …

Human activities in coastal areas frequently cause loss of benthic macrophytes (eg
seagrasses) and concomitant increases in microalgal production through eutrophication …

This study examined spatial and temporal variations in infaunal community composition in a
gradient away from a large salmon farm (producing 2910 tonnes during each production …

Despite the paradigm that Spartina spp. detritus is the basis for estuarine food webs, other
primary producers may contribute to the diets of saltmarsh consumers. To determine the …

Because of their close physical relationship, it is often assumed that there are strong
functional relationships between sediments and biota. Yet, there have been few studies of …

Quantifying variability over multiple spatial scales is a fundamental goal in ecology,
providing insight into which scale-dependent processes most strongly influence community …

We contend that a range of phenomena characterizing temperate deposit-feeding
communities in low-energy environments is strongly organized by two principal opposing …

The transformations of chemical constituents in subterranean estuaries (STEs) control the
delivery of nutrient loads from coastal aquifers to the ocean. It is important to determine the …

Comparisons among vegetated and unvegetated intertidal habitats have led to the paradigm
that benthic fauna are more abundant and diverse in the former. Mangroves and their …

Human activities alter biodiversity, influencing bottom-up and top-down control on food webs
which can affect ecosystem functioning. In marine ecosystems, large bivalves play a critical …
