    Description: This study examines whether or not biogeographical and/or managerial divisions across the European seas can be validated using soft-bottom macrobenthic community data. The faunal groups used were: all macrobenthos groups, polychaetes, molluscs, crustaceans, echinoderms, sipunculans and the last 5 groups combined. In order to test the discriminating power of these groups, 3 criteria were used: (1) proximity, which refers to the expected closer faunal resemblance of adjacent areas relative to more distant ones; (2) randomness, which in the present context is a measure of the degree to which the inventories of the various sectors, provinces or regions may in each case be considered as a random sample of the inventory of the next largest province or region in a hierarchy of geographic scales; and (3) differentiation, which provides a measure of the uniqueness of the pattern. Results show that only polychaetes fulfill all 3 criteria and that the only marine biogeographic system supported by the analyses is the one proposed by Longhurst (1998). Energy fluxes and other interactions between the planktonic and benthic domains, acting over evolutionary time scales, can be associated with the multivariate pattern derived from the macrobenthos datasets. Third-stage multidimensional scaling ordination reveals that polychaetes produce a unique pattern when all systems are under consideration. Average island distance from the nearest coast, number of islands and the island surface area were the geographic variables best correlated with the community patterns produced by polychaetes. Biogeographic patterns suggest a vicariance model dominating over the founder-dispersal model except for the semi-closed regional seas, where a model substantially modified from the second option could be supported.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 1.Protodrilus rubropharyngeus Jägersten, a marine interstitial archiannelid, was found to move to the surface layers of sand in response to a negative geotaxis and preference for areas of highest oxygen tension. 2. Strong light and vibrations tend to keep the animal just below the sand surface except on calm days. 3. The adults were found to be highly gregarious. 4. Both adults and larvae showed a preference for the 0.5 to 1 mm grade of sand. 5. The localisation of high numbers of animals in narrow areas of a uniform beach seems to be related to the presence of a localized surface film on the sand grain surfaces. This film is produced by certain favourable species of bacteria, and together with a chemical produced by the animals themselves, attracts other members of the species to this sand.
    Notes: Kurzfassung Die Verteilung von Populationen mariner interstitieller Organismen wird durch Auswahl eines geeigneten Substrats seitens der Larven und (oder) Adultformen bestimmt. Entscheidend für die Wahl eines sandigen Substrats sind Korngröße, Sauerstoffgehalt, Temperatur, Lichtdurchlässigkeit etc. sowie die chemischen Eigenschaften der Sandoberfläche. FürProtodrilus rubropharyngeus Jägersten konnte negative Geotaxis sowie eine Bevorzugung von Sandarealen mit relativ hohem Sauerstoffgehalt nachgewiesen werden.P. rubropharyngeus reagiert bei starkem Lichteinfall negativ photokinetisch. Vibrationen rufen positive Geotaxis und Verschwinden im Substrat hervor. In Versuchen, bei denen adulte Tiere zwischen Sand mit Tieren und Sand ohne Tiere wählen konnten, bevorzugten sie Sand, in dem sich Artgenossen befanden. Es ließ sich ferner nachweisen, daß eine Substanz, die von adulten Tieren produziert wird, zu „gregariousness“ führt. Im Wahlversuch zwischen Sand bestimmter Korngröße und natürlichem, ungesiebtem Sand entschieden sich sowohl Adulte als auch Larven für Korngrößen von 0,5 bis 1 mm. Im natürlichen Biotop dominierten jedoch Sandkörner von 1 bis 2 mm Größe. Dadurch ist das Vorkommen vonP. rubropharyngeus auf Strandzonen mit Korngrößen von 0,5 bis 1 mm beschränkt. Im Vergleich zu unbehandeltem Sand wurde sterilisierter Sand nur von sehr wenigen Tieren bevorzugt, wenn er in einfachen Wahlversuchen Adulten und Larven angeboten wurde. Dies änderte sich jedoch, wenn sterilisierter Sand mit Sandbakterienkulturen beimpft wurde. Im Wahlversuch zwischen Sanden, die mit verschiedenen Bakterienarten beimpft worden waren, bevorzugten Adulte wie Larven in gleicher Weise bestimmte Bakterienarten. Wenn adulte Tiere zugegen waren, wurde steriler, mit Bakterien beimpfter Sand fast ebenso häufig besiedelt wie unbehandelter Sand. Die streng lokalisierten Populationen der Spezies erklären sich somit aus der Bindung an eine bestimmte Korngröße, dem Vorhandensein eines Oberflächenfilms bakteriellen Ursprungs sowie einer von den adulten Tieren produzierten Substanz.

    Notes: Abstract With some notable exceptions, such as the echinoderm and oyster larvae tests, the species traditionally used in bioassays are not sufficiently sensitive to detect subtle ecological effects of pollutants. It is suggested that by using ecological criteria, species can be identified from any pollution gradient that are sensitive to subtle effects of pollution. Examples are given using gradients of oil, sewage and titanium dioxide pollution, showing how ecologically sensitive species for use in laboratory bioassays can be selected objectively. Many marine molluscs show microgrowth bands, which can be used as in situ field bioassays. An example is given using the bivalve Cerastoderma edule.
