Beyond the bed: effects of metal contamination on recruitment to bedded sediments and overlying substrata
Metal-contaminated sediments pose a recognised threat to sediment-dwelling fauna. Re-
mobilisation of contaminated sediments however, may impact more broadly on benthic …

Does primary colonization or community structure determine the succession of fouling communities?
Predicting the relevance of initial colonization and subsequent species interactions for
succession in marine sessile communities is difficult because the effects of both factors …

Environmental filtering influences functional community assembly of epibenthic communities
Community assembly theory states that species assemble non-randomly as a result of
dispersal limitation, biotic interactions, and environmental filtering. Strong environmental …
