We analyzed the effects of sewage discharge on a subtropical estuary by comparing the
functional diversity of intertidal macroinvertebrate assemblages in contaminated with non …

Estuaries are unique coastal ecosystems that sustain and provide essential ecological
services for mankind. Estuarine ecosystems include a variety of habitats with their own …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are a major concern worldwide due to their increasing impacts in
recent years, and these extreme events may trigger deoxygenation of coastal waters …

We present a comprehensive scientific assessment of the environmental impacts of an
Antarctic wastewater ocean outfall, at Davis station in East Antarctica. We assessed the …

Estuaries are among the ecosystems most affected by human actions worldwide. Economic
development in Morocco puts pressure on these aquatic systems, making them vulnerable …

This research was conducted to assess the ecosystem health of Daya Bay benthic habitat,
investigate the effects of anthropogenic nutrients, and evaluate the application of ecological …

Indices based on macrobenthic responses to disturbance remain to be adequately tested for
the detection of spatial variability by robust sampling designs. We present herein a …

Anthropogenic nutrient input to coastal waters is one of the most common disturbances
within inshore marine benthic communities. Organic enrichment in sediments leads to the …

Intertidal flats are highly productive areas that support large numbers of invertebrates, fish,
and birds. Benthic diatoms are essential for the function of tidal flats. They fuel the benthic …

We have experimentally investigated the effects of repeated diesel spills on the bivalve
