Effects of natural and human-induced hypoxia on coastal benthos
Lisa A. Levin,Werner Ekau,Andrew J. Gooday,Frans Jorissen,Jack J. Middelburg,S. W. A. Naqvi,Carlos Neira,Nancy N. Rabalais,Jing Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: Large areas of low oxygen persist seasonally or continuously beneath upwelling regions, associated with the upper parts of oxygen minimum zones (SE Pacific, W Africa, N Indian Ocean), and support a resident fauna that is adapted to survive and reproduce at oxygen concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Based on the collective contributions of members of SCOR Working Group #128, the present study provides an overview of the major aspects of coastal hypoxia in different biogeochemical provinces, in-cluding estuaries, coastal waters, upwelling areas, fjords and semi-enclosed basins, with various external forcings, ecosys-
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of hypoxia on the structure and processes in pelagic communities (zooplankton, macro-invertebrates and fish)
TL;DR: Processes in two contrasting systems, the semi-enclosed Baltic Sea and the coastal upwelling system of the Benguela Current are described to demonstrate the consequences of increasing hypoxia on ecosystem functioning and services.
Journal ArticleDOI
A combined morphometric and phylogenetic analysis of an ecomorphological trend: pelagization in Antarctic fishes (Perciformes: Nototheniidae)
TL;DR: Information on phylogeny, allometric growth, and diet composition is used for an integrated analysis of morphological and ecological diversification in the Antarctic fish family Nototheniidae, mainly focusing on the subfamilies Trematominae and Pleuragramminae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The coast and shelf of east and northeast Brazil and material transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the main characteristics of the coast and shelf and findings on biogeochemical, sedimentation, and paleoceanographical processes, addressed by the Joint Oceanographic Projects (JOPS) campaigns, are summarized.
