Response of a benthic food web to hydrocarbon contamination
Direct and indirect effects of diesel-contaminated sediment on microalgae, meiofauna, and meiofauna-microalgae trophic interactions were examined in a microcosm study of the sediment community from a Spartina aZterniJora salt marsh. Microcosms of natural sediment were given small daily doses of contaminated sediment over a 28-d period, creating low-, medium-, and high-diesel treatment concentra...
متن کاملFood web structure of the benthic community at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic): a stable isotope analysis
The deep-sea benthic community at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic) is a highly food limited system. The annual input of sedimenting phytodetritus, which reaches the sea floor around May/June, is the major input of energy. The relative trophic position of the most abundant components of the benthos (90 species or higher taxonomic groups), including meiofaunal, macrofaunal, and megafauna...
متن کاملHousehold Food Waste in A Sample of the Libyan Community
Background: Consumer behaviors at the household level have an impact on the quantity of food waste and the economic resources of the family and the country. This study aimed to assess food waste in a random sample of the Libyan community. Methods: A questionnaire was designed for the study and distributed randomly through social media, short message, e-mails, and via face to face interviews ...

متن کاملBiological vs. Physical Mixing Effects on Benthic Food Web Dynamics
Biological particle mixing (bioturbation) and solute transfer (bio-irrigation) contribute extensively to ecosystem functioning in sediments where physical mixing is low. Macrobenthos transports oxygen and organic matter deeper into the sediment, thereby likely providing favourable niches to lower trophic levels (i.e., smaller benthic animals such as meiofauna and bacteria) and thus stimulating ...
