Benthic ecosystems, which include the sediments and organisms at the bottom of aquatic environments, play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and overall ecosystem health. Bioturbation, the process ...

Organisms in the deep sea rely on gravity flows to lay down sediment and then make burrows beneath the seafloor, according to a new study.

Benthic community ecology focuses on the organisms living on or in the seabed, particularly in estuarine environments where freshwater and saltwater mix. These ecosystems are crucial for ...

Hypoxia is of particular importance in benthic organisms that live in deep areas likely affected by low oxygen conditions. We know little about insect exposure to PFAS, and in particular, insects that ...
