The purpose of this study was to document existing benthic organisms of the lower West River in New Haven and West Haven, Connecticut, in order to enable monitoring of salt marsh restoration. Seventeen sites were sampled between the Chapel Street Bridge and the mouth of the West River during the month of July 1995. All sites contained polychaete worms and other organisms typical of estuarine sy...

Globally, lakes are warming and browning with ongoing climate change. These changes significantly impact a lake's biogeochemical properties all organisms, including invertebrate consumers. The effects of these essential to understand, especially during critical periods after before the growing season, that is, autumn spring, which can determine composition consumer community. In this study, we ...

The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a large and geomorphologically complex feature located in the Southwest Atlantic, with great commercial scientific interest due to its potential for mining rare earth elements that are critical low-carbon technologies. Brazilian this area led submission of petition UN Commission on Limits Continental Shelf 2018 include RGR limits continental shelf beyond 200 nautica...

Large and usually unpredictable variation in species interaction strength has been a major roadblock to applying local experimental results to large-scale management and conservation issues. Recent studies explicitly considering benthic-pelagic coupling are starting to shed light on, and find regularities in, the causes of such large-scale variation in coastal ecosystems. Here, we evaluate the ...

Despite increases in the frequency and intensity of disturbances on coral reefs over the past few decades, the response of subtropical coral assemblages to climate change is poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap on Australian reefs and provide a baseline for future comparisons, we quantified spatial (10-100's of kilometres) and temporal (decadal) patterns of benthic assemblages acros...

Abstract Ecological theory predicts that the relative distribution of primary production across habitats influence fish size structure and biomass production. In this study, we assessed individual, population, community-level consequences for brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus variation in estimated habitat specific (benthic pelagic) total whole lake (GPP gross 27 north...
