Macrofaunal community structure in the western Indian continental margin including the oxygen minimum zone

Ingole, B.S.; Sautya, S.; Sivadas, S.; Singh, R.; Nanajkar, M. (Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)

Patterns of macrofaunal distribution were studied along the western Indian continental margin to distinguish the role of habitat heterogeneity in generating and maintaining community structure. A transect perpendicular to ...

First record of Hyalascus (Hexactinellida: Rossellidae) from the Indian Ocean, with description of a new species from a volcanic seamount in the Andaman Sea

Sautya, S.; Tabachnick, K.R.; Ingole, B.S. (Magnolia Press, 2010)

A new species of Hyalascus is described from the submarine volcanic crater seamount of Andaman Back-arc Basin, Indian Ocean. The genus was previously known in the Pacific Ocean only

Biodiversity and community structure of freeliving marine nematodes from the Larsemann Ice Shelf, East Antarctica

Ingole, B.S.; Singh, R. (Current Science Association, 2010)

Subtidal (500-700 m) meiofaunal assemblage of the Larsemann Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, is described with special emphasis on the free-living marine nematodes. The sampling was conducted with a 25 x 25 x 40 cm VSNL Spade ...

Report of epibiont Thecacineta calix (Ciliophora: Suctorea) on deep sea Desmodora (Nematoda) from the Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean

Ingole, B.S.; Singh, R.; Sautya, S.; Dovgal, I.; Chatterjee, T. (Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)

Suctorian epibionts Thecacineta calix attached on the cuticle of nematodes Desmodora sphaerica and D. pontica are reported here from the deep sea hexactinellid sponge Pheronema sp. from the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean). The ...

Benthic polychaetes as good indicators of anthropogenic impact

Sivadas, S.; Ingole, B.S.; Nanajkar, M. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)

Seven stations were sampled within the Mormugao harbour area for benthos and environmental variables from September 2003 to July 2004. A total of 71 polychaete taxa were identified from the area. Polychaete abundance, ...

New perceptions of continrntal margin biodiversity

Menot, L.; Sibuet, M.; Carney, R.S.; Levin, L.A.; Rowe, G.T.; Billett, D.S.M.; Poore, G.; Kitazato, H.; Vanreusel, A.; Galeron, J.; Lavrado, H.P.; Sellanes, J.; Ingole, B.S.; Krylova, E. (Blackwell, 2010)

The deep ocean is a hostile and challenging environment. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the continental slopes. The complexity of the slope and the unforgiving nature of the seabed has until recently limited the ...

Comparison of tropical nematode communities from three harbours, west coast of India

Nanajkar, M.; Ingole, B.S. (Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2010)

The three major harbours from the central west coast of India were investigated for their benthic environmental status using nematodes as surrogate community. As these three harbours have shown deteriorated conditions ...

Impact of sewage disposal on a nematode community of a tropical sandy beach

Nanajkar, M.; Ingole, B.S. (Triveni Enterprises, 2010)

Free-living marine nematodes from an intertidal sandy beach from Goa near the Panjim city, central west coast of India was investigated along a gradient of sewage pollution. High nematode diversity (11 species) and abundance ...

Habitat heterogeneity and its influence on benthic biodiversity in oxygen minimum zones

Gooday, A.J.; Bett, B.J.; Escobar, E.; Ingole, B.S.; Levin, L.A.; Neira, C.; Raman, A.V.; Sellanes, J. (Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs; midwater regions with O sub(2) concentrations <0.5 ml l sup(-1)) are mid-water features that intercept continental margins at bathyal depths (100-1000 m). They are particularly well developed ...

Global patterns and predictions of seafloor biomass using random forests

Wei, Chih-Lin; Rowe, G.T.; Escobar-Briones, E.; Boetius, A.; Soltwedel, T.; Caley, M.J.; Soliman, Y.; Huettmann, F.; Qu, F.; Yu, Z.; Pitcher, C.R.; Haedrich, R.L.; Wicksten, M.K.; Rex, M.A.; Baguley, J.G.; Sharma, J.; Danovaro, R.; MacDonald, I.R.; Nunnally, C.C.; Deming, J.W.; Montagna, P.; Levesque, M.; Weslawsk, J.M.; Wlodarska-Kowalczuk, M.; Ingole, B.S.; Bett, B.J.; Billett, D.S.M.; Yool, A.; Bluhm, B.A.; Iken, K.; Narayanaswamy, B.E. (Public Library of Science, 2010)

A comprehensive seafloor biomass and abundance database has been constructed from 24 oceanographic institutions worldwide within the Census of Marine Life (CoML) field projects. The machine-learning algorithm, Random ...
