Designing an effective environmental monitoring system for population responses requires knowledge of the biology of appropriate sentinel species and baseline information on the area's physical and chemical characteristics. This study collected information

The impact of bioturbation on the geochemistry of aquatic sediments is known to depend on the benthic infauna species that are present. However, burrowing and activity patterns of each species may also change during the different stages of a life cycle.

The molecular size, shape and conformation of the extracellular hemoglobin of Nephtys incisa were examined using scanning transmission electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering and circular dichroism measurements. In electron micrographs, the
