Benthic indices based on the Polychaetes/Amphipods (P/A) ratio have been proposed to
assess the environmental quality status of ecosystems in estuarine and coastal waters …

Tropical ecosystems sustain higher biodiversity and face faster species extinction. However,
baseline information of these areas is either inadequate or scattered due to various reasons …

The use of functional information of taxa is a promising approach to uncover the underlying
mechanism of ecosystem functioning. We used biological trait analysis (BTA) to assess the …

The present study aims to test the applicability of the macrobenthos indexes (AMBI, M-AMBI,
BENTIX, BOPA; Shannon (H′); average taxonomic distinctness (Δ+), variation in taxonomic …

A yearlong study was conducted to assess the impact of an oil spill on macrobenthos of
rocky intertidal zone of Uran, India and its recovery processes, by comparing impacted site …

Ecostatus of Ulhas estuary, one of the most polluted estuaries along the industrialized and
urbanized northwest coast of India, was evaluated by six widely accepted benthic indices …

We present an updated checklist of marine annelids from the Indian subcontinent. Records
of annelid species were obtained from published and grey literatures and online databases …

Effective management measures for improving rapidly deteriorating estuaries around the
world are hugely dependent on accurate evaluation of the ecological status, which is a …

Spatial and temporal variability of macrobenthic community in intertidal habitats is governed
by various physicochemical factors. Finding the relationship between environmental …

Benthic biotic indices are important ecological tools extensively used to understand the
ecological quality of coastal wetlands. The present study aimed to assess the ecological …
