Abstract:Burrow structures produced by various benthic animals in sediments
are important components of aquatic ecosystems, allowing the circulation
of interstitial water via ingress of fresh bottom water into the burrows
upon feeding and intraburrow migration. Although X-ray computed tomography

of the water-circulation effect of burrows is an important issue.
Here, we describe the firs… Show more
