Ecology of Deposit-Feeding Animals in Marine Sediments
TL;DR: The idea that microbes attached to sediment and detritus particles constitute the major food source for deposit feeders is being replaced by more complex models that incorporate interactions between animals and the food sources in the sedimentary matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benthic community response to ice algae and phytoplankton in Ny Ålesund, Svalbard

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that ice algae are readily consumed and assimilated by the Arctic benthos, and may be prefer- entially selected by some benthic species (i.e. deposit feed- ers) due to their elevated EFA content, thus serving as an important component of the Arcticbenthic food web.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium resistance in an oligochaete and its effect on cadmium trophic transfer to an omnivorous shrimp
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the evolution of Cd resistance can have profound implications for Cd bioavailability and cycling within aquatic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of grazing by the detritivore Orchestia grillus on Spartina litter and its associated microbial community.
TL;DR: Orchestia grillus efficiently feeds upon microorganisms attached to ingested Spartina alterniflora litter, but does not digest litter itself, and responds to Orchestia grazing with increased metabolic activity, reflected in accelerated decomposition of the nitrogen fraction of litter and increased microbial biomass.
