  • BBI: an R package for the computation of Benthic Biotic Indices from composition data. 

    Cordier, Tristan; Pawlowski, Jan (2018)
    The monitoring of impacts of anthropic activities in marine environments, such as aquaculture, oil-drilling platforms or deep-sea mining, relies on Benthic Biotic Indices (BBI). Several indices have been formalised to ...

  • DNA Metabarcoding Methods for the Study of Marine Benthic Meiofauna: A Review. 

    Gielings, Romy; Fais, Maria; Fontaneto, Diego; Creer, Simon; Costa, Filipe Oliveira; Renema, Willem; Macher, Jan-Niklas (2021)
    Meiofaunal animals, roughly between 0.045 and 1 mm in size, are ubiquitous and ecologically important inhabitants of benthic marine ecosystems. Their high species richness and rapid response to environmental change make ...
