Epilithic Algal and Meiofaunal Assemblages of Arctic/Alpine Lakes and Streams Along Latitudinal and Environmental Gradients in Scandinavia

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epilithic biofilms along a latitudinal gradient of Arctic/alpine lakes and streams were analysed for their composition of algae (incl. cyanobacteria) and meiofaunal assemblages and correlated these with environmental variables. The composition of algal, meiofauna and nematode assemblages differed between lakes and streams.

Sublittoral and bathyal Harpacticoida (Crustacea, Copepoda) of the Magellan region. Composition, distribution and species diversity of selected major taxa

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2005
Two expeditions, undertaken in 1994 and 1996, provided quantitatively sampled material of sublittoral and bathyal meiobenthos from the Paso Ancho of the Straits of Magellan, the Beagle Channel, and the Patagonian continental slope (Chile). To investigate

Neoichnology and sediment distribution in tidal flats of the mud‐dominated mesotidal Mira River estuary (Portugal)

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 2201-2238, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Invertebrate burrow morphologies and distributions are presented for the tidal flats of the middle and lower reaches of the tide‐influenced (mesotidal), mud‐dominated Mira River estuary (SW Portugal) as an analogue for interpreting the ichnology of palaeoestuarine successions.

Are functional freshwater Nematode traits a good tool for view an early succession on hard artificial substrate in a reservoir of Brazilian semiarid? [PDF]

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia
Aim The Brazilian tropical semiarid is a biome with small freshwater ecosystems, often intermittent, acting as a mosaic in constant transformation between dry and rainy seasons.

A new species of the genus Sarsamphiascus Huys, 2009 (Copepoda: Harpacticoida: Miraciidae) from a sublittoral zone of Hawaii [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
A new species of Sarsamphiascus Huys, 2009 was collected from sandy sediments of Hawaii at 12 –18 m depth. While the new species, Sarsamphiascus hawaiiensis sp. nov., is morphologically most closely related to S.

Characterizing Rocky Intertidal Biodiversity Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding From Local to National Scales

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
We assess the resolution of eDNA metabarcoding for detecting rocky intertidal taxa across three spatial scales—national, regional, and local. Distinct eDNA signals were observed at each scale, with community differences more pronounced at broader scales.

Environmental Gradients, Not Geographic Boundaries, Structure Meiofaunal Communities in Siberian Seas

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
This study uses sediment eDNA metabarcoding to assess the diversity and distribution of meiofauna in Siberian seas, marking the first application of this technique in the region. Our results reveal that meiofauna diversity is similar across the three studied seas; however, both meiofauna diversity and the maturity index of nematode communities are ...

Meiofauna Community in Soft Sediments at TAG and Snake Pit Hydrothermal Vent Fields

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The risk assessment of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) mining on meiobenthic organisms, specifically on soft-sediment meiofauna, is impeded by a lack of knowledge on the biology and ecology of these communities.

On the ecology of Cletocamptus gomezi Suárez-Morales, Barrera-Moreno & Ciros-Pérez 2013 (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida) micro-endemic to Lake Alchichica, Central Mexico

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2014
Cletocamptus gomezi Suárez-Morales, Barrera-Moreno & Ciros-Pérez (2013) is a recently described new species of meiobenthic Harpacticoida copepod, micro-endemic to Lake Alchichica, Puebla, Central Mexico. Cletocamptus gomezi lives in saline water (K25

A microsensor‐based method for measuring respiration of individual nematodes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Meiofauna (invertebrates that pass through a 1‐mm mesh sieve, but are retained on a 40‐µm mesh) represent the most abundant and diverse animal group on Earth, but empirical evidence of their role in benthic respiration, production and carbon cycling ...
