This study shows bottom trawling reduces seafloor carbon storage through physical disturbance and by disrupting faunal-microbial interactions that regulate sediment carbon dynamics.

This study examines how host traits and environmental factors, including bottom trawling, influence the intestinal microbiota of flatfish species in the North Sea.

This study examines dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluxes and fatty acid composition in New Zealand sponges, finding that some species release TDN and alter FDOM fluorophores, suggesting bacterial involvement in DOM transformation.

This study examines nutrient fluxes, oxygen consumption, and fatty acid composition in deep-water sponges from New Zealand, identifying differences in nitrogen cycling and microbial communities among sponge clusters.

This study shows that reef-building corals acclimate to elevated temperatures by increasing energy storage but at the cost of reduced skeletal growth, with potential implications for reef development.

This study examines how benthic microbial communities in the North Sea vary with environmental and anthropogenic factors, finding that bottom trawling reduces diversity and shifts metabolic functions.

This study shows that losing a key microbial symbiont in sponges leads to body plan reorganization and transcriptomic changes, linking microbiome state to host development.
