| There is no escape for the benthic epifauna in space or time-they must be grazer resistant. |
| The blue marlin occupies a high trophic level, feeding on pelegic and benthic organisms in the ecosystem of the open ocean. |
| Many benthic and nektonic organisms experienced a major crisis, including calcareous and organic-walled phytoplankton. |
| Their essentially two-dimensional mode of growth often brings them into contact with other benthic organisms that tend to overgrow them. |
| New coastal ocean remote sensing techniques permit benthic habitats to be explored with higher resolution than ever before. |
| Much of this distinctiveness can now be ascribed to the influence of Actinocyclus normanii in both the planktonic and benthic food webs. |
