Testing for Sediment Acidification Effects on Within-Season Variability in Juvenile Soft-Shell Clam ( Mya arenaria ) Abundance on the Northern Shore of the Bay of Fundy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a field study assessing relationships between juvenile soft-shell clam abundance and spatial, temporal, and environmental variables in coastal mudflats of the northern shore of the Bay of Fundy.

Ecosystem engineering in intertidal sand by the lugworm Arenicola marina
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the lugworm Arenicola marina inhibits the development from sandy towards muddy intertidal flats by its bioturbation has been tested with a permanent large-scale exclusion experiment in a sheltered bay of the North Sea as discussed by the authors.

Mapping nematode diversity in the Southern Bight of the North Sea
TL;DR: Different methods to develop full coverage biodiversity maps of free-living marine nematodes in the Southern Bight of the North Sea are discussed, finding a spatial pattern in the residuals of the regression models.
Reproduction strategies and distribution of larvae and juveniles of benthic soft-bottom invertebrates in the Kara Sea (Russian Arctic) = Reproduktionsstrategien und Verteilung der Larven und Juvenilen der benthischen Weichbodenfauna der Karasee (Russische Arktis)
TL;DR: In this paper, the reproductive patterns of benthic invertebrates in the Kara Sea and their adaptation strategies to polar conditions were analyzed, and it is assumed that due to the Kara Seas high environmental variability unfavourable conditions for Benthic species often occur, which can be explained partly by the high share of peracarid larvae.

Macrofaunal colonization of mine tailings impacted sediments.
TL;DR: This is the first study where the colonization potential is systematically compared between various tailings, and as colonization is assumed a frequent and important mechanism for faunal restitution after disturbance events, the results are important for the management of tailings placements as well as with regard to other forms of disturbances associated with defaunated areas.
