Exceptionally preserved Cambrian loriciferans and the early animal invasion of the meiobenthos

Nature Ecology &Evolution, 2017
Microscopic animals that live among and between sediment grains (meiobenthic metazoans) are key constituents of modern aquatic ecosystems, but are effectively absent from the fossil record.

Copepoda of lowland springs: diversity patterns and integrative taxonomy of Cyclops

Journal of Limnology
Groundwater copepods in lowland Europe remain insufficiently studied compared to those from mountainous regions. Here, we present the results of a faunistic and ecological survey of lowland springs, conducted in the context of earlier research on ...

Taxonomic Study of Free-Living Marine Nematodes in the Subgenus Tricoma (Desmoscolecida: Desmoscolecidae) from the Subtidal Zone of the East Sea, Korea, with Insights into the Ultrastructure of the Lip Region

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
This study provides a taxonomic analysis of three newly discovered species of free-living marine nematodes in the subgenus Tricoma from the East Sea, Korea. Tricoma (Tricoma) polyringulata sp. nov. is characterized by its relatively small body size, with

Bottom meiofauna of highly mineralised rivers in the Eltonsky Nature Park (Russia)

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
As established by numerous research the community of bottom meiofauna (meiobenthos) plays an important role in the diversity, quantitative characteristics and trophic relationships of the hydrofauna, as well as in the general flow of matter and energy of

Sampler bias in the quantitative study of deep-sea meiobenthos [PDF]

, 1994
The influence of sampler type on quantitative estimates of deep-sea meiobenthos is examined by an indirect statistical comparison of box corer and multiple corer samples collected throughout the northeast Atlantic, and by a direct comparison of ...

Abundance of small individuals influences the effectiveness of processing techniques for deep-sea nematodes [PDF]

, 2010
Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans of deep-sea benthic communities, but knowledge of their distribution is limited relative to larger organisms.

Meiofauna from Almirante Câmara Canyon and Its Adjacent Open Slope, Southwest Atlantic Ocean

Coasts
The patterns of meiofaunal distribution in a submarine canyon and adjacent open-slope habitats at Campos Basin, southwest Atlantic, were investigated. A total of eight stations was sampled, four inside the Canyon Almirante Câmara and four on the adjacent
