The overall aim of this study was (1) to assess the diversity and density of meiofauna taxa,
especially harpacticoid copepod species, present within accumulated seagrass …

We examined the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on benthic microalgae and
meiofauna in Louisiana, USA, salt marshes. Further, we quantified recovery over 4 yr and …

During the 2013 meeting of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, Iris Anderson,
acting on behalf of the CERF Board, invited me to write an Odum Essay, describing the long …

Stream biofilms can improve water quality (eg excessive nitrogen loads) because their
microorganisms such as microphytobenthos and bacteria, are involved in self‐depuration …

Biofilms play a key role in self-depuration processes in rivers. Whilst meiofauna is known to
be abundant within river phototrophic biofilms and to perform both grazing and bioturbation …

Foundation species contribute to the recovery of animal communities from disturbance by
engineering, by improving habitat quality, and by regulating food availability. In a salt marsh …

The effects of eutrophication on coastal plants and sessile animals are becoming well
known, but responses of mobile species are less well studied. Here, we link variation in …

Aquatic ecosystems are fundamentally altered by nutrient enrichment, and effective
monitoring tools are needed to detect biological responses especially in the early stages of …

Freshwater polychaetes are relatively rare and little-studied members of the benthos of lakes
and rivers. We studied one polychaete species (Manayunkia speciosa) in Lake Erie near the …

The effects of long‐term experimental nutrient enrichment on nematode trophic guilds and
morphometrics were examined in intertidal saltmarsh creeks of Plum Island Estuary …
