A microsensor‐based method for measuring respiration of individual nematodes
Methods 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 ...

Meiofauna and nematode diversity in some Mediterranean subtidal areas of the Adriatic and Ionian Sea
Scientia Marina, 2008 Sediments of three different subtidal areas (15-705 m depth) of the Italian coasts (Manfredonia, Brindisi and Gallipoli) were investigated to study meiofauna and nematode composition.

Taxonomy assignment approach determines the efficiency of identification of OTUs in marine nematodes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Precision and reliability of barcode-based biodiversity assessment can be affected at several steps during acquisition and analysis of data. Identification of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) is one of the crucial steps in the process and can be ...

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 339-354, April 2026.ABSTRACT The American Lobster (Homarus americanus) is the target of an extensive fishery in the Northwest Atlantic, yet there is no systematic method for evaluating relative performance of baits for the fishery. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to assess lobster attraction to commercial baits versus natural prey.

Scientia 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

Freshwater 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.

Contribution of soft-bodied meiofaunal taxa to Italian marine biodiversity
The European Zoological Journal, 2020 Meiofauna includes an astonishing diversity of organisms, whose census is far from being complete. Most classic ecological studies have focused on hard-bodied Ecdysozoan taxa (notably Copepoda and Nematoda), whose cuticle allows determination at species ...

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

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Gill fouling organisms (GFO) in snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) were identified and grouped into 10 taxons, representing 7 phyla. An unknown harpacticoid copepod species (Coullia sp.) was described and the presence of a kinorhyncha species (Echinoderes sp.) was first observed.

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2018 The kinorhynch species Echinoderes levanderi Karling, 1954 is redescribed. The species can now be recognized by the presence of spines in middorsal positions on segments 4–8, and in lateroventral positions on segments 6–9, with lateroventral spines on ...
