This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. Bottom-trawl fisheries are wide-spread and have large effects on benthic ecosystems. We investigate the effect of scallop dredging on sand ...

If our results are representative for other areas, they suggest that jellyfish blooms may have cascading effects for benthic ecosystem functions and services when blooms senesce, such as enhanced ...

Skulking within these mats was plenty of cyanobacteria, the primary reproducer of the entire ecosystem. "The ice-sealed planktonic and benthic microbiota of Lake Enigma likely represent persistent ...

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography Benthic Invertebrate Collection (SIO-BIC ... The Collection includes extensive holdings from deep-sea environments, chemosynthetic ecosystems (hydrothermal ...

Learn about the Borealis Mud Volcano on the Arctic seafloor and its role in maintaining biodiversity, which is driven by ...

My research focuses on the impact of such episodic events on benthic communities and the maintenance of their respective ecosystem functioning of bioturbation and nutrient cycling. Organisms possess ...

Our team investigates questions in marine benthic ecology, with a common interest in marine conservation related issues. Research lines include disturbance ecology, spatial ecology, biodiversity and ...
