MACROZOOBENTHOS DIVERSITY AS A BIOINDICATOR OF WATER QUALITY AROUND THE CENTER POINT OF INDONESIA (CPI) by Fathin Nur Rahman, Rahmadi Tambaru, Mahatma Lanuru, Yayu A Lanafie, Muh. Farid Samawi

“…The results of the macrozoobenthos sampling study obtained 4 macrozoobenthos classes found at the study site, namely the Gastropod Class (4 species), the Crustacea Class, the Ophiuroidea Class, and the Oligochaeta Class each 1 species. The highest diversity and abundance of macrozoobenthos was found at Station 6 which is suspected because this station has a sandy sediment texture and sediment DOM content and high concentrations of water solubility of oxygen which support the life of makzoobenthos. …”

Identifying the Achilles heel of multi-host pathogens: the concept of keystone ‘host’ species illustrated by Mycobacterium ulcerans transmission by Benjamin Roche, M Eric Benbow, Richard Merritt, Ryan Kimbirauskas, Mollie McIntosh, Pamela L C Small, Heather Williamson, Jean-François Guégan

“…On the contrary, we reveal that the removal of some taxa, especially Oligochaeta worms, can clearly reduce rates of pathogen transmission, and these should be considered as keystone organisms for its transmission because they lead to a substantial reduction in pathogen prevalence regardless of the network topology. …”
