First observations of the aquatic invertebrate fauna in ephemeral Atacama River (22° S, Antofagasta Region, Chile)
The invertebrate communities of the northern Chilean rivers are characterised by their marked endemism andspecificity of their community structure in different basins. The river systems located in the Atacama Desert are endorheicand are affected by the rainy period of January-February commonly known as the “Bolivian winter“. The present study isthe first report on the observations of arthropods...

The current study describes the taxonomic and functional composition of metagenomic sequences obtained from a filamentous microbial mat isolated from the Comau fjord, located in the northernmost part of the Chilean Patagonia. The taxonomic composition of the microbial community showed a high proportion of members of the Gammaproteobacteria, including a high number of sequences that were recruit...

This investigation was carried out to study the effect of probable contaminants existing in the Southern Pars region on density and species richness of macrobentic communities under tidal area in Nayband Bay and to determine the environmental parameters caused by human activities which influence the Benthic communities of this region. Three stations were selected that were different in terms of...
متن کاملThe Structure and Distribution of Benthic Communities on a Shallow Seamount (Cobb Seamount, Northeast Pacific Ocean)
Partially owing to their isolation and remote distribution, research on seamounts is still in its infancy, with few comprehensive datasets and empirical evidence supporting or refuting prevailing ecological paradigms. As anthropogenic activity in the high seas increases, so does the need for better understanding of seamount ecosystems and factors that influence the distribution of sensitive ben...
متن کاملPopulation structure, growth and production of a recent brachiopod from the Chilean fjord region
38 39 Magellania venosa, the largest recent brachiopod (Davidson 1886, McCammon 1973), 40 occurs in clusters and banks in population densities of up to 416 ind m-2 in the fjord Comau, 41 northern Chilean fjord region. Below 15 m depths, it co-occurs with the mytillid Aulacomya 42 atra and dominates the benthic community below 20 m. To determine the question why 43 Magellania venosa is a success...
