The trophic fate of benthic bacteria in an intertidal mudflat (Brouage, Marennes‐Oléron, France) was evaluated situ, and environmental parameters that potentially influence the consumption by most abundant organisms meio‐ macrofauna were identified. Variations grazing rates estimated using 15 N pre‐enriched at different temporal spatial scales on a cross‐shore transect over mudflat. Grazing incubations performed microcosms with freshly collected grazers. Environmental factors varied more...
Since the 1960 s, there has been a rapid expansion of drilling activities in central and northern Adriatic Sea to meet increasing global energy demand. The discharges organic inorganic pollutants, as well alteration sediment substrate, are among main impacts associated with these activities. In present study, we evaluate response benthic foraminifera three gas platforms northwestern Sea, special focus on Armida A platform for which extensive geochemical data (organic matter, trace elements,...
The benthic foraminiferal assemblages in Lake Varano (southern Italy) have been investigated detail. Statistical analyses enable us to recognize two main biotopes and five sub-biotopes that reflect different ecological environmental conditions. mainly seem be influenced by the hydrological (namely salinity) sediment conditions lake. These are characterized specific sub-assemblages variations relative species’ abundances. Outer Biotope is affected marine influence dominated species Ammonia...
This study explores relationships between benthic foraminiferal assemblages and environmental factors in the Strait of Bonifacio, which separates islands Corsica Sardinia, west Italy Peninsula. Benthic foraminifera were identified 31 samples collected during an oceanographic cruise (“Bocche 2003” – P.I.C Interreg III Project) that provided new geomorphologic sedimentologic data on western continental shelf strait. Biotic parameters (species diversity, density, Fisher α index, Shannon-Weaver...
Abstract: Benthic foraminifera are increasingly used as environmental indicators of natural and/ or anthropogenic stress in coastal and marginal marine settings. A study both living (Rose Bengal stained) dead was carried on 317 sediment samples collected the port Boulogne-sur-Mer (France). Here we present an initial status report ecosystem recorded from a selected set that cover full range habitats within port. surprisingly high diversity assemblage benthic recovered, reflecting varied Among...
Lead (Pb) is regarded as a highly toxic element that poses serious threat to biota. A mesocosm experiment was performed assess the influence of Pb on meiofaunal (metazoans within 45-500 μm) and benthic foraminiferal (protozoan) communities. To this end, sediments bearing such communities were incubated in mesocosms, exposed different levels seawater, monitored for up 8 wk. Concentrations <1 ppm water did not promote significant increase metal sediments. Relatively high concentrations seemed...
Lagoonal environments are highly biodiverse coastal ecosystems, extremely susceptible to multiple anthropogenic and natural stressors (eutrophication, contaminants, storms floods, relative sea-level rise among others). Given their ecological importance, effective monitoring restoration strategies essential safeguard integrity. The quantitative assessment of the Ecological Quality Status (EcoQS) represents a fundamental step in designing action plans through an ecosystem-based approach that...
In this study, the meiofaunal diversity in Lake Varano (southern Italy) is investigated detail. Using a statistical approach, these data were coupled with physicochemical parameters of bottom water and sediment characteristics order to understand factors influencing biodiversity distribution. The lake selectively influenced by different factors, namely: organic matter grain-size, as well salinity. Although assemblages appear be poorly diversified, index values are similar those generally...
