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.

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.

The relationship between epilithic biofilm stability and its associated meiofauna under two patterns of flood disturbance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Habitat stability is an important driver of ecological community composition and development. River epilithic biofilms are particularly unstable habitats for the establishment of benthic communities because they are regularly disturbed by floods. Our aim

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

Diversity and distribution of benthic invertebrates dwelling rivers of the Kruger National Park, South Africa

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2022
Meiobenthos (or meiofauna) are microscopic invertebrates that inhabit biofilms and interstitial spaces in rivers. They are diverse and extremely abundant, and they perform essential ecological functions by linking microbial production to higher trophic ...

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 ...

A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 696-715, December 2024.
Abstract Biomass estimates are crucial for modeling and understanding energy flow through ecosystems. Many modeling frameworks rely on published body weights of organisms to convert density estimates to biomass. However, published body weight data are limited to few taxa in a limited number of systems. Here we present mean individual weights for common

Diagnosis of the Condition of Aquatic Ecosystems Using a Partial Assessment of Ecological and Trophic States: An Example of Small Lakes in Northern Poland

open access: yesLimnological Review
The current state of aquatic ecosystems was assessed for lakes in two river–lake systems: Święta Struga (Święte and Ocypelek) and Kałębnica (Czarne Południowe and Kałębie).
