This review brings together a large number of independent and seemingly unrelated studies
in various disciplines under four major topics:(1) sulfide as an environmental factor in …

The biological implications of sulfide in sediment are poorly understood and all too often
ignored despite the fact that sulfide can be extremely important in determining sediment …

Meiobenthology is the science of the tiny animals that live in huge numbers in all aquatic
sediments. This fully revised and enlarged second edition emphasizes new discoveries and …

The seashore has long been the subject of fascination and study-the Ancient Greek scholar
Aristotle made observations and wrote about Mediterranean sea urchins. The considerable …

This is a book about the natural history of oxygen-free environments and their microbial
inhabitants. Life originated in the pre-oxic world, and anoxic conditions still persist in many …

The distribution of living (rose bengal stained) deep‐sea benthic foraminifera was
determined in the upper 20 cm of sediments of eight Soutar box cores taken from two depth …

Abstract Analysis of Rose Bengal stained benthic foraminifera in six boxcores taken from the
Nova Scotian margin and Gulf of Maine reveals that foraminifera are vertically stratified …

This paper considers the use of meiofauna (benthic metazoa 45 to 500 μm in size) as
biological indicators for monitoring marine environmental health. To date, this abundant and …

Construction and maintenance of burrows by macrofauna have large implications for the
microbiology and biogeochemistry of marine sediments. Although a wealth of new …

Live (Rose-Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera were studied along a transect across the
main area of organic matter deposition in the Cape Blanc upwelling region. The faunal …
