Assessment of a Baited Remote Underwater Video Method to Evaluate American Lobster (Homarus americanus) Response to Baits in Nature

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.

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

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

Assemblages of Meiobenthic and Planktonic Microcrustaceans (Cladocera and Copepoda) from Small Water Bodies of Mountain Subarctic (Putorana Plateau, Middle Siberia)

Diversity, 2022
The Putorana Plateau (Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia) is one of the largest mountainous regions of subarctic Eurasia. Studies of aquatic ecosystems of this are far from complete.

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

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.

Occurrence, Abundance, and Diversity of Gill Fouling Organisms in Snow Crab, Chionoecetes opilio (O. Fabricius, 1788), (Decapoda, Brachyura, and Oregoniidae) in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean, Canada

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.

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

Acta 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.

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

Sedimentology, 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.

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

Frontiers 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.

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

Environmental 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

Environmental 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 ...
