Unfortunately, the effects of <i>L. conchilega</i> on the surrounding benthic community have received little attention, especially in subtidal areas. Therefore, the effects of the presence of <i>L.conchilega</i> on the abundance, species richness, diversity and species composition of the North Sea benthos in relation to sedimentology and depth were evaluated in the present paper. The results show that <i>L. conchilega</i> does have an effect on the benthic density and species richness in soft-bottom sediments. The density of the benthic species increased and was significantly (positively) correlated with the density of <i>L. conchilega</i>. Furthermore, the species richness increased with increasing density of <i>L. conchilega</i>. This trend was, however, not consistent: the number of species no longer increased or even decreased after reaching a certain density of <i>L. conchilega</i> (> 500 ind/m²). The same overall pattern was detected concerning the expected number of species. The N1 - diversity index showed similar or slightly higher values in <i>L. conchilega</i> patches compared to patches without <i>L. conchilega</i>.The effects on density and diversity were most pronounced in shallow fine sands, which are the preferred habitat of <i>L. conchilega</i>, and less in deep fine sands. The changes in benthic characteristics result from the alterations of the habitat by <i>L. conchilega</i> (hydrodynamics, sediment stability, improved oxygen) and the complex interactions between the benthic organisms and the biogenic structures consisting of <i>L. conchilega</i> tubes. A lot of benthic species can profit from the creation, modification and maintenance of that habitat by <i>L. conchilega</i>, which results in an increased density and species richness in <i>L. conchilega</i> patches compared to the surrounding soft-bottom sediments. Finally, the results indicated that <i>L. conchilega</i> has an effect on the benthos present in a particular habitat, rather than forming its own association.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AM","StandardTitle":"The impact of <i>Lanice conchilega</i> on the soft-bottom benthic ecosystem in the North Sea","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2006,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2015-06-25","DateCreate":"2006-04-03","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":0,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":97563,"PubliDate":2006,"Pagination":"117-133","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":null,"Issue":null,"BRefMon":97552,"BRefMonRR":"<b>Van Hoey, G.</b> (2006).
