Assessment of vertical and horizontal distribution of meiobenthos along a salinity gradient in the Tana and Sabaki Estuaries, north coast Kenya

Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2022
Meiobenthos respond to variability in salinity gradients in estuarine habitats and are thus suitable organisms for ecological studies. The vertical and horizontal distribution of the meiofauna community structure of two major estuaries (Sabaki and Tana ...

Effects of Sample Fixation on Specimen Identification in Biodiversity Assemblies Based on Proteomic Data (MALDI-TOF)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Recently, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry has been used to reliably identify taxonomically difficult harpacticoid copepods from sediment samples. In agreement with former studies, a negative impact of short storage periods was stated.

Species and Functional Diversity of Deep-Sea Nematodes in a High Energy Submarine Canyon

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Gaoping Submarine Canyon (GPSC) off southwestern Taiwan is a high energy canyon connected to a small mountain river with extremely high sediment load (∼10 kt km–2 y–1).

Biogeographical Distribution of River Microbial Communities in Atlantic Catchments. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
We discovered different factors affecting river microbial communities (RMC) diversity and composition across Atlantic catchments in Europe. Prokaryote diversity was mainly influenced by topography and geology, while eukaryotic groups were driven by land use and cover.

First records of Gulcamptus huronensis Reid, 1996 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Canthocamptidae) from Lake Superior, with morphological notes on the male [PDF]

Check List, 2022
Gulcamptus huronensis Reid, 1996 is a seldom-reported harpacticoid copepod known only from two female specimens, one collected from Lake Huron, Michigan, USA, the other from Nunatak Creek, Alaska, USA. Herein, we report a new distributional record for G.

Meiofauna Shaping Biogeochemical Processes

, 2023
Biogeochemical processes at the sediment–water interface are essential for the functioning of marine ecosystems. It is a central question in benthic ecology how these processes are controlled and mediated by biotic factors.

Distribution and diversity of Meiobenthos in southern Caspian Sea (Mazandaran-Iran)

Mesopotamian Journal of Marine Science, 2021
Biodiversity and distribution of benthic Meiobenthos in the sediments of the Southern Caspian Sea were studied in order to introduce and determine their relationship with the environmental factors.

An annotated checklist of the main representatives of meiobenthos from inland water bodies of Central and Southern Vietnam. III. Water fleas (Cladocera).

Zootaxa
This work is the third installment in a series of publications devoted to the diversity, distribution and ecology of major groups of hydrobionts discovered during the study of meiobenthic communities in inland waters of central and southern Vietnam. Here,

Seasonal variability of meiobenthic assemblages inhabiting the Nottinghambukta tidal flat, SW Spitsbergen

Limnological Review, 2019
The aim of the work was to describe the variability of a group of meiobenthos inhabiting a tidal flat in Nottinghambukta which is influenced by the diverse conditions of a seasonal as well as multi-annual cyclicity. Samples were collected in five series,

Sediment DNA metabarcoding and morphology provide complementary insight into macrofauna and meiobenthos response to environmental gradients in an Arctic glacial fjord.

Marine Environmental Research
Arctic fjords ecosystems are highly dynamic, with organisms exposed to various natural stressors along with productivity clines driven by advection of water masses from shelves.
