Journal ArticleDOI
Macrofaunal colonization of disturbed deep-sea environments and the structure of deep-sea benthic communities
TL;DR: The responses of deep-sea populations to Sargassum, wood and azoic sediments indicate that a temporal mosaic of small-scale patches of organic enrichment and disturbance are very important in structuring deep-SEA communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical signaling processes in the marine environment
TL;DR: There are now vast new opportunities for determining how organisms respond to chemical signals and employ chemical defenses under environmentally realistic conditions, and integrating findings within a larger ecological and evolutionary framework should lead to improved understanding of natural physicochemical phenomena that constrain biological responses at the individual, population, and community levels of organization.

Habitat change in estuaries: predicting broad-scale responses of intertidal macrofauna to sediment mud content
TL;DR: This study details a novel strategy that enabled it to rapidly collect data on macrofaunal densities and sediment characteristics by sampling mud-to-sand transition zones in 19 estuaries.

Movements of marine fish and decapod crustaceans: process, theory and application.
Simon J. Pittman,Clive McAlpine +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that studies of marine animals have rarely been undertaken at scales appropriate to the way animals use their environment and argued that future studies must incorporate animal movement into the design of sampling strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity and functioning of polychaetes in benthic sediments
TL;DR: Much remains to be learnt as to how benthic communities function, and how they may change in function as they are increasingly being impacted especially in coastal waters adjacent to centres of population.
