Scientists unearth #stingrays' heavy lifting role in estuaries https://phys.org/news/2024-06-scientists-unearth-stingrays-heavy-role.html
Ray #bioturbation rates suggest they shape estuary processes: Molly Grew et al. https://zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rse2.411
"When feeding and sleeping, stingrays create pits that look like shallow divots in the ocean floor... this process helps with oxygen penetration in the sand, which many organisms rely on"

Global activity of #seafloor #biodiversity mapped for the first time https://phys.org/news/2024-05-global-seafloor-biodiversity.html
Global distribution and environmental correlates of marine #bioturbation https://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(24)00575-X
"like #worms enriching the soil in our garden, invertebrates are doing the same on the #seabed—improving conditions for #ocean life. Understanding how these processes operate gives #scientists insights into what is driving the health of #oceans and how they may respond to #ClimateChange."

for different reasons, wild #boar are also beneficial to the #forest #ecosystem, contrary to popular misconceptions. Here's an excerpt from an article by Chantal Lyons, "Rooting for the truth: on wild boar" - Lyons writes, "I suppose there are two layers to this. In terms of their #ecological role, they’re unique. The niche they occupy, and the ecological functions they perform, there are no other animals among British #fauna that do the things they do. For example, their #rooting; #badgers engage in some rooting behaviour, resembling mini boars at times. However, they don’t penetrate the soil as deeply, and their rooting is not as extensive.
There’s a term for it called #bioturbation: the act of going into the soil, breaking it open, and mixing the different layers, which impacts the nutrients and the microbial activity in the #soil. This also involves exposing the #seed bank and creating space for #wildflowers to germinate. There’s evidence that bioturbation enhances the soil in a way that makes it easier for #trees, such as #oaks, to germinate and grow.
Related to the rooting behaviour, wild boar are particularly effective at dispersing seeds and spores. They go all over the place, carrying these organisms in their fur and hooves, and even in their digestive systems, subsequently depositing them through excretion. Additionally, their wallowing activities create mini wetlands, providing valuable ephemeral pools that benefit other wildlife."

New mechanism for seafloor pockmarks proposed:
"...we conclude that harbor porpoises excavate sediments during benthic foraging. By grubbing the seabed, they cause sandeels to escape from the sediment and initiate the formation of seafloor pits...With the immense number of vertebrates in the ocean, such megafauna-driven macro-bioturbation reshapes the seafloor, modulates sediment transport, and ultimately impacts associated ecosystems on a global scale."

"Bioturbation, the disturbance of soil and litter by digging animals plays an important role for a variety of species and ecological processes in many ecosystems."
