In this review we highlight the relevance of biodiversity that inhabit coastal lagoons,
emphasizing how species functions foster processes and services associated with this …

Ecological restoration is widely practiced as a means of rehabilitating ecosystems and
habitats that have been degraded or impaired through human use or other causes …

The biomagnification of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) was investigated in a
tropical mangrove food web from an estuary in Bahia, Brazil. Samples of 44 organisms (21 …

This paper demonstrates the impact of maintenance dredging activities on the macrobenthic
community structure of a tropical monsoonal estuary (Cochin estuary), located in the …

Function in ecology can be understood as the role that each component plays in the
surrounding environment. It can be studied through the functional traits of organisms and …

Community structure of many systems changes across space in many different ways (eg,
gradual, random or clumpiness). Accessing patterns of species spatial variation in …

In order to evaluate if sediment metal contamination is responsible for benthic degradation
and identify possible reference sites in Todos os Santos Bay (TSB), comparisons between a …

Climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events with
potential effects in coastal and estuarine ecosystems. During drought periods, higher salinity …

Seasonal variation in the macrobenthic functional characteristics, such as trophic structure
and secondary production, was studied, along with their structural characteristics such as …

In the estuaries of Korea, the freshwater inflow increases rapidly due to the Changma
(Korean summer rainy season). To elucidate the effect of this massive freshwater inflow on …
