Macroecology and meiobenthos: Reply to Warwick (2014) [PDF]

open access: bronzeMarine Ecology Progress Series, 2014
Warwick (2014; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 505:295-298) suggests that my claim that the biology of marine metazoan benthos may scale continuously with body mass (Bett 2013; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 487:1-6) is an overstatement. His alternative hypothesis is that there is a ‘step-change’ in allometric relationships between the meio- and macrobenthos.

Community structure of estuarine meiobenthos

open access: bronzeMarine Ecology Progress Series, 1984
Meiofaunal samples were collected from intertidal mudflats in the lower, middle and upper reaches of the Tamar estuary, South West England in April and October, 1982. Species abundance and biomass patterns of nematodes and copepods did not follow the expected trends in relation to salinity: the lowest species diversity (below neutral model predictions),

Drivers of Epilithic Biofilms in Greenland Streams: The Role of Nutrients, Temperature and Catchment Slope Across a Climate Gradient. [PDF]

open access: yesEnviron Microbiol Rep
Microbial biofilms are crucial components in Arctic streams, and understanding how climate warming affects them is critical. Across three regions in Greenland, we found large differences in biofilm structure and their drivers. Our results suggest increased but region‐specific biofilm accumulation in Greenland streams under a warmer climate, which may ...

Interstitial Annelida

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Members of the following marine annelid families are found almost exclusively in the interstitial environment and are highly adapted to move between sand grains, relying mostly on ciliary locomotion: Apharyngtidae n.

The Influence of Salinity Gradient and Island Isolation on Fauna Composition and Structure of Aquatic Invertebrate Communities of the Shantar Islands (Khabarovsk Krai)

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
The present study is the first structured attempt to analyze the species composition and distribution of freshwater invertebrates in the lakes, streams, and rivers of the Shantar Islands and to compare the diversity of the hydrobiont fauna of the ...

Microbiota Associated With Ototyphlonemertes Species (Nemertea, Hoplonemertea, Monostilifera, Ototyphlonemertidae) Reveal Evidence of Phylosymbiosis. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study explores phylosymbiosis, the connection between host phylogenetic relatedness and microbial community composition, in marine interstitial nemerteans. The research reveals compelling evidence of phylosymbiosis in these small aquatic animals, emphasizing the influence of host genetic relatedness on microbiome diversity. ABSTRACT Phylosymbiosis,

Antarctic Special Protected Area 161 as a Reference to Assess the Effects of Anthropogenic and Natural Impacts on Meiobenthic Assemblages

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
The Antarctic region is usually considered a pristine area. Nevertheless, regional warming effects and increasing human activities, including the presence of several research stations, are inducing considerable environmental changes that may affect the ...
