Meiobenthic groups within the World Register of Marine Species [PDF]
The aim of a World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on synonymy.

Not too big for its mouth: direct evidence of a macrodasyidan gastrotrich preyed in nature by a dileptid ciliate [PDF]
Nearly ubiquitous and usually speciose in most aquatic habitats, the meiofaunal-sized gastrotrichs are recognized as an important component of marine and freshwater ecosystems.

Environmental DNA sampling coupled with high‐throughput sequencing is increasingly recognized as a useful method for assessing biodiversity with potential applications in terrestrial environments. Rock pools on granite inselbergs support diverse aquatic communities, yet the application of eDNA to document their biodiversity is lacking.

First ultrastructural description of an apomictic opsiblastic egg in freshwater Gastrotricha
The freshwater gastrotrich Lepidodermella squamata can produce up to three egg types: tachyblastic (fast hatching) parthenogenetic, opsiblastic (slow hatching) parthenogenetic, and plaque‐bearing (potentially sexual and diapause). Here, we provide an ultrastructural description of the opsiblastic egg, which is a single uncleaved ovum surrounded by a ...

A New Species of Paraturbanella Remane, 1927 (Gastrotricha, Macrodasyida) from the Brazilian Coast, and the Molecular Phylogeny of Turbanellidae Remane, 1926 [PDF]
The family Turbanellidae includes Paraturbanella and five other genera. Despite the fact that the monophyly of these genera were not satisfactorily tested, species belonging to the genus Paraturbanella are distinguished from turbanellids by sharing a ...

Contribution of soft-bodied meiofaunal taxa to Italian marine biodiversity [PDF]
Meiofauna includes an astonishing diversity of organisms, whose census is far from being complete. Most classic ecological studies have focused on hard-bodied Ecdysozoan taxa (notably Copepoda and Nematoda), whose cuticle allows determination at ...

Comparative anatomy and evolution of the gastrotrich muscular system [PDF]
Gastrotrichs figure prominently in metazoan phylogeny because they share a suite of complex morphological characteristics with several other members of the Bilateria.

Biodiversità e biogeografia dei Gastrotrichi tra tradizione e approcci innovativi [PDF]
Gastrotrichi sono un phylum (Gastrotricha) di microscopici invertebrati bentonici (da 80 µm a 3-5 mm in lunghezza) ubiquitari e spesso abbondanti nei diversi ecosistemi acquatici del mondo.

Aspidiophorus polystictos, a new marine species (Gastrotricha, Chaetonotida) and its life cycle
Abstract Aspidiophorus polystictos, a new marine species of Gastrotricha Chaetonotida is described and compared with the species of the group A. marinus ‐ A. mediterraneus. This species is characterized by the subrectangular shape of the scales. The life cycle of individuals reared under laboratory conditions is described for the first time in marine ...
