Abstract/Description
Benthic samples collected in April, August, and December, 1974 at 23 stations provided quantitative data on the macroinvertebrate communities in the intracoastal waterway and adjacent finger canals at Boca Raton, Florida. Distribution and structure of these communities in relation to station location and sediment type are discussed. The five top-ranked species in this study were the amphipods Ampelisca abdita and Grandidierella bonnieroides, the polychaetes Paraprionospio £innata and...
Show moreBenthic samples collected in April, August, and December, 1974 at 23 stations provided quantitative data on the macroinvertebrate communities in the intracoastal waterway and adjacent finger canals at Boca Raton, Florida. Distribution and structure of these communities in relation to station location and sediment type are discussed. The five top-ranked species in this study were the amphipods Ampelisca abdita and Grandidierella bonnieroides, the polychaetes Paraprionospio £innata and Streblospio benedicti, and the bivalve Mulinia lateralis. Three station assemblages based on faunal similarities were designated. Highest diversity (H') and species richness (spp/180) values were found at intracoastal waterway stations. These stations were characterized by sediments with relatively high sand and low organic percentages. Stations located within finger canals were characterized by sediments with high silt-clay fractions, high organic percentages, and low numbers of species and individuals.

Abstract/Description
Bimonthly benthic samples (April, 1972 to March, 1973) taken at eleven stations provide quantitative reference data on the benthic macrofaunal communities of Lake Worth in Palm Beach County, Florida. Distribution and structure in relation to sediment types and sources of pollution are discussed. One hundred seventy-one taxa were identified. The five top-ranked species were the bivalve Mulinia lateralis; the polychaetes Spiochaetopterus oculatus, Paraprionospio pinnata, and Glycinde solitaria;...

Distribution and structure in relation to sediment types and sources of pollution are discussed. One hundred seventy-one taxa were identified. The five top-ranked species were the bivalve Mulinia lateralis; the polychaetes Spiochaetopterus oculatus, Paraprionospio pinnata, and Glycinde solitaria; and the amphipod Cerapus sp. Stations were grouped as sand, silty-sand, mud, and outfall stations based on similarity of faunal composition and sediment type. The sand and silty-sand stations had the highest diversity (H') and species richness (spp/180) values. The mud and outfall stations had low H' and spp/180 values which were similar to values reported for pollution-stressed areas in other studies. The outfall station was dominated by the pollution-tolerant polychaete Capitella capitata.

Abstract/Description
The invertebrate infauna of four Thalassia testudinum beds and adjacent open sand areas in northern Biscayne Bay, Florida, were sampled in July and December 1976. A total of 109 species, including 5804 individuals, were collected. Thalassia beds were found to harbor a denser and more diverse fauna than open sand sites. This may be attributed to increased food availability in the form of detrital Thalassia and concealment from predators provided by the plant blades. The most abundant species...
Show moreThe invertebrate infauna of four Thalassia testudinum beds and adjacent open sand areas in northern Biscayne Bay, Florida, were sampled in July and December 1976. A total of 109 species, including 5804 individuals, were collected. Thalassia beds were found to harbor a denser and more diverse fauna than open sand sites. This may be attributed to increased food availability in the form of detrital Thalassia and concealment from predators provided by the plant blades. The most abundant species in the Thalassia beds included the polychaete Cirriformia filigera, the amphipod Lembos smithii, and the isopod Janira minuta. The most abundant species in the open sand areas were the polychaetes Exogone dispar and Hesionura elongata, and the isopod Xenanthura brevitelson. High within -site (grass or sand) faunal similarity values and low between-site similarity values indicate the presence of distinct communities associated with Thalassia and adjacent open sand areas.
