Climate change effects on Antarctic benthos: a spatially explicit model approach
(Springer, 2017-04)
The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the regions on the Earth with the clearest evidence of recent and fast air warming. This air temperature rise has caused massive glacier retreat leading to an increased influx of glacier ...
Benthic hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from Alacranes Reef, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico
(Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2018-01)
Here, we provide the first list of shallowwater hydroids for Alacranes Reef, Mexico, comprising 49 species in 33 genera. The most speciose superorder was Leptothecata (36 species), with three particularly diverse families: ...
A new vermiform sea anemone (Anthozoa: Actinaria) from Argentina: Harenactis argentina sp. nov.
(Magnolia Press, 2011-09)
During 2007, 2008, and 2010, 23 specimens of an undescribed vermiform sea anemone were collected on Punta Pardelas and Fracaso Beach (Península Valdés, Argentina). The specimens have longitudinal rows of cinclides distally, ...
Adelomelon ancilla: a predator neogastropod in Patagonian benthic communities
(Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, 2009-12)
Adelomelon ancilla, a volutid commonly found in shallow waters of northern Patagonia, is a top predator in the benthic communities of this region. This species presents an anemone epibiosis (Antholoba achates) that may ...
Corallimorpharians (Anthozoa: Corallimorpharia) from the Argentinean Sea
(Magnolia Press, 2019-10)
Corallimorpharians are a relative small group of anthozoan cnidarians, also known as jewel sea anemones. They resemble actiniarian sea anemones in lacking a skeleton and being solitary, but resemble scleractinian corals ...
Stable isotopes reveal different dependencies on benthic and pelagic pathways between Munida gregaria ecotypes
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Forage species are key nodes in the energy fluxes between benthic and pelagic zones. The squat lobster, Munida gregaria, is a common forage species of the Southern Hemisphere and its abundance is increasing. This species ...
The use of littoral benthic macroinvertebrates of the Martín Garcia Island Nature Reserve as indicators of water quality
(Science Domain International, 2019-06)
At Martín García Island—a Natural Reserve located at the confluence of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers—we used benthic-macroinvertebrate biotic indices to elucidate the structure and community parameters of the littoral ...
Trawl exposure and protection of seabed fauna at large spatial scales
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-11)
Aim: Trawling is the most widespread direct human disturbance on the seabed. Knowledge of the extent and consequences of this disturbance is limited because large-scale distributions of seabed fauna are not well known. We ...
First record of the Pseudodiamesa branickii species-group (Diptera: Chironomidae: Diamesinae) from central MexicoPrimer registro del grupo Pseudodiamesa branickii (Diptera: Chironomidae: Diamesinae) del centro de México
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Instituto de Biología, 2020-02-19)
Larvae and pupae of the Pseudodiamesa branickii species-group (Makarchenko & Makarchenko, 1999) (Diptera: Chironomidae) were found in 2 high-altitude lakes (El Sol and La Luna, 4,200 m asl), in the crater of the Nevado de ...
Mass Mortality of Foundation Species on Rocky Shores: Testing a Methodology for a Continental Monitoring Program
(Frontiers Media S. A., 2021-02)
Global concern around substantial losses of biodiversity has led to the development of a number of monitoring programs. Networks were established to obtain appropriate data on the spatial and temporal variation of marine ...
