Benthic faunal responses to variations in patch density and patch size of a suspension-feeding bivalve
Responses of benthic macrofauna and epibenthic predators / sediment disturbers to controlled 22 2 density (0, 12, 120, 600 and 1200 individuals m ) and patch size (0.25, 1.0 and 9.0 m ) manipulations of the venerid bivalve Austrovenus stutchburyi (Gray) were examined on an 22 intertidal sandflat. Bivalve density manipulations greater than 600 m had a mixed influence on macrofauna colonisation; ...
متن کاملResponse of a Mammalian Faunal Element to Climatic Changes
Faunal elements are groups of species with similar contemporary distributional patterns and may represent an historical association. It is hypothesized that members of a faunal element will respond similarly to environmental conditions. Since the mid-1960s the central plains has experienced cool, mesic (cryomesic) conditions. The distributional limits of members of the Boreal faunal element in ...
متن کاملSeasonal dynamics of benthic O2 uptake in a semienclosed bay: Importance of diffusion and faunal activity
The benthic O2 uptake and the O2 microdistribution in a coastal sediment of Aarhus Bay, Denmark, were investigated during a seasonal study. Measurements were performed in situ by a profiling lander and a flux chamber lander, as well as on recovered sediment cores. The O2 penetration depth, the diffusive O2 uptake, and the volumespecific O2 consumption rate strongly depended on the seasonal chan...

متن کاملResponse 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...
