The Problem of Scale: Uncertainties and Implications for Soft-Bottom Marine Communities and the Assessment of Human Impacts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on how the issue of scale relates to the generation and application of ecological information to help resolve environmental problems and illustrate potential problems of matching the scale at which information is generated to that at which it is applied by discussing potential scale dependence in the results of field experiments and the problems of identifying the large-scale effects of commercial fishing on marine benthic communities.

Factors controlling critical shears for deposition and erosion of individual grains
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified critical deposition and erosion shear stresses for individual, fine (24-141 μm), natural quartz particles in a flow chamber with radial parallel flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of flow and settlement cues to larvae of the abalone, Haliotis rufescens Swainson.
TL;DR: The ability of H. rufescens larvae to show a stringent settlement response associated with coralline red algae was altered by changing the small-scale flow, which resulted in the larvae settling preferentially to an inducer regardless of the flow conditions.

Deposition and Long-Shore Transport of Dredge Spoils to Nourish Beaches: Impacts on Benthic Infauna of an Ebb-Tidal Delta

TL;DR: In this paper, a core sampling of the eastern (control) and western (disturbed) sides of Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina, twice before and once 8 months after a large disposal revealed significant coarsening of sediments and associated changes to assemblages of benthic macroinvertebrates in response to the perturbation.
Mass recruitment of Ophiothrix fragilis (Ophiuroidea) on sponges: settlement patterns
Meritxell Codinal,Maria J. Uriz +1 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that brittle star recruits can select their substrata, possibly as a result of post-settlement lateral migration, resulting in an uneven distribution among sponge species.
