Biodiversity between sand grains: Meiofauna composition across southern and western Sweden assessed by metabarcoding [PDF]
The meiofauna is an important part of the marine ecosystem, but its composition and distribution patterns are relatively unexplored. Here we assessed the biodiversity and community structure of meiofauna from five locations on the Swedish western and ...
