Molecular methods such as DNA/eDNA metabarcoding have emerged useful tools to document the biodiversity of complex communities over large spatio-temporal scales. We established an international Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON) combining standardised sampling using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) with for genetic marine hard-bottom benthic communities. Here, we present data our first campaign comprising 56 ARMS units deployed in 2018-2019 and retrieved...
Seagrasses and associated macrophytes are important components of coastal systems as ecosystem engineers, habitat formers, providers food shelter for other organisms. The positive impacts seagrass vegetation on zoobenthic abundance diversity (as compared to bare sands) well documented, but only in surveys performed summer, which is the season maximum canopy development. Here we present results first study relationship between seasonal variability persistence magnitude contrasts faunal...
The majority of the southern Baltic Sea seabed encompasses homogenous soft-bottom sediments limited productivity and low biological diversity, but shallow productive areas in coastal zone such as wetlands, vegetated lagoons sheltered bays show a high variety benthic habitat types offering favourable biotopic conditions for fauna. Within Polish marine areas, semi-enclosed Puck Bay (the western part Gulf Gdańsk) features an exceptionally diverse environment covering range habitats which...
Although benthic succession is well understood, the growth of assemblages does not follow same progression across environmental variables and differs among coastal ecosystems. This study investigates seasonal multi-annual patterns development sessile invertebrate effects substrate orientation (topsurface vs. undersurface) on this process. Perspex panels deployed seafloor horizontally were monitored seasonally from March 2008 to 2010 (two locations) yearly April 2015 (one location) in...
Although pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in abiotic matrices the Arctic, accumulation of drugs resident biota and trophic transfer have not been yet examined. This study investigated behaviour several rocky-bottom, macrobenthic food web coastal zone Isfjorden (western Spitsbergen) using stable isotope analyses (SIA) coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Across 16 macroalgal invertebrate species highest average concentration was measured for ciprofloxacin...
Manifestations of climate change in the Arctic include an increase water temperatures and massive loss sea ice enabling more light penetration. Yet to understand tempo scale these parameters over time, constant monitoring is needed. We present 16-yr long-term datasets temperature relative intensity at two depth strata (8 14 ± 1 m) hard-bottom sites southern Isfjorden proper (Spitsbergen, 78°N). The high temporal resolution (every 30 min, between 2006-2022) makes them suitable for studying...
The Arctic is one of the regions most affected by global climate change, and subjected to changes linked with a melting cryosphere increasing anthropopressure. Although antibiotic resistance problem, diversity spread antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), genes (ARGs) integrons in are strongly understudied. Therefore, main aims this study (1) determination type frequency integron-integrase characterization incorporated gene cassettes genomes culturable (2) quantitative analysis class 1 human...
Hermit crabs are important components of Arctic benthic systems, yet baseline data on their densities and distribution patterns in this rapidly changing region still scarce. Here we compile results numerous research expeditions to Svalbard, the Barents Sea northern Norway that were carried out from 1979 2011 by Institute Oceanology, Polish Academy Sciences. The diversity hermit at edge occurrence is very low; Svalbard waters only one species (Pagurus pubescens) was detected. Another (P....
Abstract Thirty-two species of echinoderms from epibenthic sledges, dredges, scuba diving, and other samples (in total: 467 c. 20 000 specimens) fjords coastal waters off Spitsbergen were analysed between 1996 2014. The most numerous group in the is brittle stars (78% total individuals). do not form any clear assemblages according to depth or distance glacial sedimentation substrate. Some prefer hard bottom ( Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis ) water free suspensions Ophiopholis aculeata )....
Polar regions are an important part of the global mercury cycle and interesting study sites due to different possible sources. The full understanding transformations in Arctic is difficult because this region systems transition -where effects climate change most prominent. Benthic organisms can be valuable bioindicators heavy metal contamination. In July 2018, selected benthic organisms: macroalgae, brittle stars, sea urchins, gastropods, starfish were collected Isfjorden, Spitsbergen. Two...
