Loss of benthic macrofauna functional traits correlates with changes in sediment biogeochemistry along an extreme salinity gradient in the Coorong lagoon, Australia

Orlando Lam-Gordillo et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in benthic communities and functional traits across different sites, with higher abundance and more traits expressed in the estuarine region. The differences in benthic traits were correlated with sediment biogeochemistry and nutrient concentrations.

Defaunation by deoxygenation: efficacy and divergent responses of estuarine macroinvertebrates

S. Cronin-O'Reilly et al.

Summary: The ability of deoxygenation treatment to remove macroinvertebrates from sediment cores is limited, and the remaining biomass has significant effects on environmental fluxes. Different communities have divergent responses to hypoxia.

Loss of Large Animals Differentially Influences Nutrient Fluxes Across a Heterogeneous Marine Intertidal Soft-Sediment Ecosystem

Jenny R. Hillman et al.

Summary: Coastal marine soft-sediment ecosystems have a significant impact on nutrient cycling, carbon flows, and primary productivity, with benthic communities and environmental characteristics influencing fluxes across sediment-water interfaces. Depleting large benthic macrofauna through experimental simulations can assess their impact on key ecosystem functions. Quantifying flux variations across multiple habitats provides insight into the trajectory of change and consequences for ecosystem function at broad spatial scales.

Large Infaunal Bivalves Determine Community Uptake of Macroalgal Detritus and Food Web Pathways

Agnes M. L. Karlson et al.

Summary: The study found that large bivalves in marine environments play a significant role in benthic biodiversity and nutrient cycling, with their uptake influenced by enriched algal detritus. These effects may alter trophic pathways, reduce benthic uptake of algal detritus, and potentially exacerbate eutrophication in marine ecosystems.
