These sediments are often bioturbated by an infauna that lived in them. |
Reichardt found algal fragments on both sides of the Peninsula and suggested that algal material provided an additional carbon source to deep water benthic infauna. |
Abundance and seasonality of infauna and epifauna inhabiting a Halodule wrightii meadow in Apalachicola Bay, Florida. |
In prior studies, we have argued that changes in sediment surface chemistry driven by biotic and physical disturbance affect recruitment decisions of infauna. |
Bivalves first appeared during the early Cambrian as part of a shallow infauna. |
These structures may also protect infauna from epibenthic predators, leading to higher clam survivorship. |
