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

Diversity, 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 ...

Meiobenthos of the Deep Northeast Atlantic [PDF]

, 1994
This chapter throws the attention on the meiobenthos of the deep northeast Atlantic. The main purpose of this chapter is to summarize new results from an area lying between 15°N and 53°N and extending from the continental margin of western Europe and northwest Africa to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Neglected area of meiobenthos: bibliometric analysis in the status of research on hyporheic meiofauna

Journal of Environmental Analysis and Progress, 2023
Studies on freshwater meiofauna are still enigmatic. This field of research is relatively neglected because this topic is not as increasing as the others, creating a gap in this area.

Hydrothermal vent chimney-base sediments as unique habitat for meiobenthos and nanobenthos: Observations on millimeter-scale distributions

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Hydrothermal vents are critical to marine geochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning. Although hydrothermal vent-associated megafauna and chemoautotrophic prokaryotes have received extensive dedicated study, smaller hydrothermal vent-associated ...

Distribution of meiobenthos at bathyal depths in the Mediterranean Sea. A comparison between sites of contrasting productivity

Scientia Marina, 2004
In order to study the distribution of meiobenthos (Metazoa and Foraminifera) at bathyal depths along a west-east productivity gradient in the Mediterranean Sea, stations along the continental slopes of the Balearic Sea, west Ionian and east Ionian Seas ...
