Does the kinorhynch have a hydrophobic body surface? Measurement of the wettability of a meiobenthic metazoan [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The body surface of aquatic invertebrates is generally thought to be hydrophilic to prevent the attachment of air bubbles. In contrast, some interstitial invertebrates, such as kinorhynchs and some crustaceans, have a hydrophobic body surface: they are ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 515-527, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim It has been predicted that there should be concordance between biogeographical and phylogeographical processes structuring multi‐species regional assemblages. We hypothesise that oceanographic barriers in the marine environment affect concomitantly the distribution and the connectivity of the marine biota, thus producing congruent ...

Sediment Accumulation and Carbon Burial in Four Hadal Trench Systems
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 127, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Hadal trenches are considered to act as depocenters for organic material, although pathways for the material transport and deposition rates are poorly constrained. Here we assess focusing, deposition and accumulation of material and organic carbon in four hadal trench systems underlying different surface ocean productivities; the eutrophic ...

Functional impact and trophic morphology of small, sand‐sifting fishes on coral reefs
Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 1936-1948, August 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Oligotrophic tropical coral reefs are built on efficient internal energy and nutrient cycling, facilitated by tight trophic interactions. In the competition for available prey, some small fishes have evolved to feed on apparently barren sand patches that connect hard ...

Scientia Marina, 2010 The effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on Galician sandy beach ecosystems, six months after the Prestige oil spill, was evaluated using the meiobenthos at a higher taxon level as an indicator. Meiobenthos community structure, environmental

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2018 The farming of the non-indigenous bay scallop Argopecten irradians in coastal waters generates large amounts of biodeposits that potentially change the trophic pathways and quality of the benthic food web at lower trophic levels such as meiobenthos.

Scientia Marina, 2023 Salt marshes are regarded as among the most productive coastal ecosystems, important “blue carbon” sinks and a support for benthic communities with large abundances, whose structure may be strongly influenced by salt marsh vegetation.
