Soft-Sediment Communities
arine sediments constitute one of the largest habitat types on Earth, covering roughly 80% of the ocean bottom (Lenihan and Micheli 2001; Nybakken and Bertness 2005). As a result, to truly understand the processes that shape communities on our planet, it is critical to understand the underpinnings of this habitat. In fact, much effort has been focused on studying this habitat (especially in nea...
متن کاملInfluence of sediment characteristics on the composition of soft-sediment intertidal communities in the northern Gulf of Mexico
Benthic infaunal communities are important components of coastal ecosystems. Understanding the relationships between the structure of these communities and characteristics of the habitat in which they live is becoming progressively more important as coastal systems face increasing stress from anthropogenic impacts and changes in climate. To examine how sediment characteristics and infaunal comm...
متن کاملParasitism, movement, and distribution of the snail Diloma subrostrata (Trochidae) in a soft-sediment intertidal zone
Despite reports of their effects on host reproduction, growth, survival, and habitat use, the role of parasites in determining community structure is still poorly understood. Trematode infections in snails are a ubiquitous feature of intertidal systems worldwide. In this study, the influence of a trematode parasite on the movement and dispersal of the trochid snail Diloma subrostrata on a soft-...
متن کاملMulti-temporal Airborne Remote Sensing of Intertidal Sediment Dynamics
Coastal remote sensing applications are regularly confined to single image ‘snapshot’ approaches which do not resolve the dynamic processes in the required temporal resolution. This paper reports the results of a project in which the dynamics of tidal sedimentation were monitored by multi-temporal airborne remote sensing in 10 minute time steps. The radiance data was then converted to estimates...
متن کاملAlgibacter amylolyticus sp. nov., isolated from intertidal sediment.
A Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped, yellow-pigmented, motile by gliding bacterial strain, designated RU-4-M-4(T), was isolated from intertidal sediment of Sakhalin Island in Russia. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain RU-4-M-4(T) was related to the genus Algibacter and had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Algibacter pectinivorans KACC 14153(...
