| Abstract |
Microbial communities are ecologically important in aquatic environments and impacts on microbes have the potential to affect a number of functional processes. We have amended seawater with a crude oil and assessed changes in species composition as well as a measure of functional diversity (the ability of the community to utilise different carbon sources) and the community level metabolic signature. We found that there was a degree of functional redundancy in the community we tested. Oiled assemblages became less diverse and more dominated by specialist hydrocarbon degraders, carbon source utilisation increased initially but there was no change in metabolic signature in this small scale laboratory experiment. This study supports the decision framework around management of oil spills. This package of methods has the potential to be used in the testing and selection of new dispersants for use in oil spill response. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 November 2018.
All research outputs
#15,745,807
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Marine Pollution Bulletin
#4,739
of 9,589 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#189,820
of 339,234 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Marine Pollution Bulletin
#69
of 143 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,589 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 339,234 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 143 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
