Organisms living in this zone are called benthos, e.g. the benthic invertebrate community, including crustaceans and polychaetes.

These forests offer a home to a diverse invertebrate community that includes squat lobsters, seastars, brittlestars, polychaete worms, and crabs.

Many freshwater fish and invertebrate communities around the world show a pattern of specialisation into upland or lowland river habitats.

Deep sea benthic fishes are more likely to associate with canyons or rock outcroppings among the plains, where invertebrate communities are established.

Structure and change in three Eocene invertebrate (primarily molluscan) communities from nearshore marine environments.

The site is nationally important for its species-rich neutral grassland and the invertebrate community found in the ditches and rhynes.

Together with the surrounding land, it is also important for its botanical and invertebrate communities.

The invertebrate community consists of brittle stars, molluscs, amphipods and crabs.

It is rich in invertebrate communities.

The species richness of this invertebrate community also fell by half - 69 species were recorded prior to flooding - and had not recovered after two years.
