• Is the meiofauna a good indicator for climate change and anthropogenic impacts? (2015, background): “…Uvigerina semiornata) from the IndoPakistan oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) dominate the uptake of fresh organic matter when bottom-water oxygenation is very low (~5 mmol/L), whereas larger metazoans (polychaetes) are more efficient in food acquisition when oxygenation is higher (Woulds et al. 2007).”
• Characteristics of meiofauna in extreme marine ecosystems: a review (2018, background): “…proliferation of peroxisomes and mitochondria (Bernhard and Bowser 2008); and (5) the respiration of stored nitrate (Risgaard-Petersen et al. 2006; Woulds et al. 2007; Gooday et al. 2009a, b; Piña-Ochoa et al. 2010a, b; Glock et al. 2012; Koho and Piña-Ochoa 2012; Mallon et al. 2012; Fontanier et…”
• Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem (2010, background): “Studies initiated in the early 1960s showed that OMZs support extensive autotrophic bacterial mats despite intense oxygen depletion (Gallardo, 1963, 1977; Fossing et al., 1995; Gallardo and Espinoza, 2007).”
• Ecosystem impacts of hypoxia: thresholds of hypoxia and pathways to recovery (2011, background): “Temperature-enhanced respiration combined with an altered nutrient diagenesis in the sediments under hypoxic conditions (Woulds et al 2007, Conley et al 2009c) can lead to both baselines and regime shifts, potentially explaining the lack of recovery observed in these two sites.”
• Statistical analysis of iron geochemical data suggests limited late Proterozoic oxygenation (2015, unknown): “(13) (12) (13) (9) (6) a b b bc ac Anoxic samples from above environments (n = 1,796)”
• Man and the Last Great Wilderness: Human Impact on the Deep Sea (2011, background): “quences of expanding OMZs include increased roles for chemosynthesis in trophic pathways [239], a shift in carbon processing from metazoans to protozoans [260], and reduced rates of bioturbation and carbon burial [261,262].”
• Ocean oxygen minima expansions and their biological impacts (2010, background): “…content in overlying water and (b) on a 140-m shelf experiencing seasonal, monsoon-driven hypoxia, have revealed strong oxygen control on the amount of C processed and the relative C-processing roles of protozoans (foraminifera) versus metazoans (macrofaunal invertebrates) (Woulds et al., 2007).”
• Habitat heterogeneity and its influence on benthic biodiversity in oxygen minimum zones (2010, background): “In particular, the proportion of degraded material was lower in the OMZ core than at depths above and below the core, reaching maximal values within the lower transition zone (Woulds et al. 2007; Vandewiele et al. 2009).”
• The Ecological Physiology of Earth's Second Oxygen Revolution (2015, background): “For example, along the continental margin of the Arabian Sea, macrofaunal animals dominate organic matter processing above 0.16 mL/L O2 but are outcompeted by protists below this level (Woulds et al. 2007).”
