Responses of a macrobenthic community to seasonal freshwater flow in a wet-dry tropical estuary

Vikki Lowe et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of seasonally variable flow on intertidal macrobenthic abundance and species composition in a pristine wet-dry tropical estuary and nearshore environment. The findings highlight the importance of freshwater inputs in driving the abundance and dominance of macrobenthos, and emphasize the role of flow in shaping the biota of these extreme environments.

Joint analysis of macrofaunal and meiofaunal assemblages improves the assessment of lagoonal environmental heterogeneity

Paolo Magni et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the macrofaunal and meiofaunal assemblages in a coastal lagoon and found that they showed distinct responses to environmental gradients. The relationship between the number of individuals and species richness in both assemblages followed theoretical predictions. The study also suggests that these relationships can be used as screening-level indicators to assess sediment quality and associated bioeffects in eutrophic lagoons.

Summary: The effects of habitat heterogeneity on the functional trait composition and diversity of seagrass bed macrobenthos vary among different microhabitats, influenced by environmental parameters such as total organic carbon, organic matter, and grain size.

Habitat Primarily Structures Seagrass Epifaunal Communities: a Regional-Scale Assessment in the Chesapeake Bay

Claire E. Murphy et al.

Summary: Epifaunal invertebrates in seagrass systems have important ecological roles, including grazing on epiphytic algae and serving as a major food source. This study examined regional-scale patterns in epifaunal community properties in the Chesapeake Bay estuary, finding that differences in species richness were correlated with water temperature, while differences in community composition were influenced by seagrass cover and algal biomass. The relationship between cover and community structure was driven by specific species of peracarid crustaceans.

Can short-term meteorological events alter subtropical estuarine macrobenthic assemblages in seagrass meadows (Patos Lagoon Estuary-Southern Brazil)?

Dairana Misturini et al.

Summary: Short-term meteorological events, specifically occluded fronts, have different impacts on macrozoobenthic assemblages in seagrass meadows and sandflats. The first occluded front did not disturb the macrofaunal assemblage, while the second front induced changes in vegetation coverage and biodiversity.

Patterns of seagrass macrobenthic biodiversity in the warm-temperate Knysna estuarine bay, Western Cape: a review

R. S. K. Barnes

Summary: Knysna estuarine bay in South Africa's Garden Route National Park is the most significant estuarine system for biodiversity and conservation value in the country, supporting a significant population of vulnerable dwarf-eelgrass and associated benthic macrofauna. The bay comprises different compartments with varying species richness and distribution, but overall maintains a relatively constant species composition.

What does measuring species diversity in estuarine seagrass systems actually assess?

R. S. K. Barnes

Summary: The study in Knysna estuarine bay revealed complex relationships between species diversity and species-density, with strong correlation with relative evenness and negative correlation with overall assemblage abundance. The presence of specific individual faunal components significantly influenced the results.

Variation in Seagrass-Associated Macroinvertebrate Communities Along the Gulf Coast of Peninsular Florida: An Exploration of Patterns and Ecological Consequences

Savanna C. Barry et al.

Summary: This study investigates the variation of invertebrate communities in seagrass meadows along a phosphorus concentration gradient in five estuarine systems in the Gulf coast of peninsular Florida. The results show that each estuarine system is distinct in terms of species composition, with differences driven by abundant or relatively common species. Furthermore, the study suggests that food webs in seagrass meadows along this gradient may differ, particularly in the relative dominance of algal grazers and predatory invertebrates.

Increased salinity stress changes plant productivity and biomass by altering the top-down controls in eelgrass beds

Mizuho Namba et al.

Summary: Understanding the response of biological communities to disturbances such as extreme rainfalls under climate change is crucial for predicting ecosystem changes and functions. This study found that organisms from habitats with unstable salinity levels were more tolerant to salinity changes, and that disturbance susceptibility varied among different organisms along stress gradients.

Seagrass Patch Complexity Affects Macroinfaunal Community Structure in Intertidal Areas: An In Situ Experiment Using Seagrass Mimics

Fernando G. Brun et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that seagrass-mimicked habitats increase species richness and organism abundance compared with nearby bare areas, and show higher functional diversity. The distribution and diet of infaunal organisms are influenced by the seagrass canopy, highlighting the importance of facilitation processes and changes in food availability mediated by seagrass in structuring the community.

Macrofauna communities across a seascape of seagrass meadows: environmental drivers, biodiversity patterns and conservation implications

Ivan F. Rodil et al.

Summary: Seagrass meadows play a key role in enhancing biodiversity by influencing the structure and diversity of macrofauna communities. The variability of macrobenthic communities in seagrass meadows is regulated by sedimentary and macrophyte factors. The increase in abundance and diversity of seagrass-associated macrofauna with greater habitat complexity attributes suggests the importance of conservation efforts on various types of meadows.

Modelling the biodiversity enhancement value of seagrass beds

Jennifer McHenry et al.

Summary: Current seagrass beds support more species than unvegetated habitats, and restoration in potential habitats would also increase biodiversity. However, projections show that sea level rise may lead to significant losses in seagrass beds and restoration areas, reducing the enhancement value provided by seagrasses.
