Also, thebioturbation patterns indicate deposition during a single short-lived sedimentary event, rather than deposition during a more extended period in nearshore facies as suggested by Domzalski et al.

The bleaching of bones also provides clear evidence ofbioturbation at the cave's entrance (sun impact).

'Like worms in a garden, tiny creatures on the seabed disturb, mix and recycle dead organic material-a process known asbioturbation,' said Tim Lenton, Professor at Britain's University of Exeter.

Burrowing species such as the Common Wombat may play a key role in ecosystem processes in Australia throughbioturbation (Fleming et al.

Ad) suggest that subsequent reworking by moving water andbioturbation has contributed to the present fabric composition of the soil.

Influence of Campsurus notatusbioturbation on oxygen profile and uptake in sediments of an Amazonian lake impacted by bauxite tailings.

The ventilating activity of burrowing polychaetes, clams and other invertebrates (bioturbation) implies that oxygen is brought into the sediment while methane-containing water is pumped up into the water column.

The subfamily Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) includes dung beetles (DB), a globally distributed group of detritus-feeding insects, determinant of ecological functions such as nutrient recycling, secondary seed dispersal,bioturbation, and natural control of cattle parasites (Nichols et al., 2008; Simmons & Ridsdill-Smith, 2011).

note, one of the principal problems in studying humanbioturbation is that "the extent and geological significance of subsurface crustal modifications are commonly neglected: out of sight, out of mind.
