Faunal data concerning 4 poorly known species from Southern Mozambique are reported. Myrmeleonlanceolatus Rambur, 1842 is reported for the first time from Mozambique.

This study describes the influence of 19 hydropedological factors on macrobenthic faunal assemblages of the Karnafuli estuary, Bangladesh during the period from September, 2011 to August, 2012. A total of 33 macrobenthic species/taxa belonging to annelids, molluscs, arthropods and other minor phyla were recorded. Spearman rank correlation (using BIO-ENV procedure included in PRIMER, V.6) showed...

  Using a semi-balloon otter trawl, crab fisheries in the main bays of Guangdong Province, China, were carried out seasonally . A total of 70 species were found, all belonging to the South China Sea Faunal sub region in the tropical India-West-Pacific Faunal Region. The clustering and nMDS ordination analysis revealed the existence of three groups. Group 1 included Hailing Bay and four bays to ...

Paleontological information was used to evaluate and compare how Rocky Mountain mammalian communities changed during past global warming events characterized by different durations (350, ;10,000–20,000, and 4 million years) and different per–100-year warming rates (1.08C, 0.18C, 0.06–0.088C, 0.0002–0.00038C per 100 years). Our goals were to determine whether biotic changes observed today are ch...

Heightened interest in the exploitation of deep seafloor minerals is raising questions on the consequences for the resident fauna. Assessing species ranges and determination of processes underlying current species distributions are prerequisites to conservation planning and predicting faunal responses to changing environmental conditions. The abyssal central Pacific nodule belt, located between...

The effects of pollution (nutrient enrichment). and the presence of macrovegetation on the species diversity and density of large benthic fauna in the Manukau Harbour, Auckland, were studied by sampling eight soft shore, intertidal habitats. Pollution was found to reduce faunal density but to have only a slight effect on species diversity. The presence of dense meadows of the intertidal seaweed...
