Meiofauna Biodiversity and Community Structures in the Barents Sea and Nansen Basin Are Influenced by Benthic Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMeiobenthic metazoans occur worldwide and are a cornerstone of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we investigate the composition of meiobenthic communities along a transect in the Barents Sea and Nansen Basin and provide the first meiobenthos dataset for this ...

Revisiting Stygocapitella (Annelida, Parergodrilidae) in Japan, with insights into their amphi-Pacific diversification [PDF]
Royal Society Open SciencePolychaetes are typically found in marine environments with limited species adapting to semi-terrestrial habitats. The genus Stygocapitella comprises interstitial polychaetes dwelling in sandy beach areas around or above the high-water line.
