Redescription of Echinoderes levanderi Karling, 1954 (Kinorhyncha: Cyclorhagida) – a kinorhynch tolerant to very low salinities

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 ...

The predictability of biological populations and communities: an example from the meiobenthos [PDF]

Hydrobiologia, 1986
The predictability of temporal changes was analysed in the population density of three meiobenthic copepod species, and for three parameters characterizing this community. For Paronychocamptus nanus and Tachidius discipes a large part of the variation in time scales longer than 1 year is explainable as cyclic factors. In P.

Traits mediate environmental responses of benthic ciliates in dynamic coastal habitats

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Aim Understanding how species' traits mediate environmental responses provides a mechanistic perspective on community assembly processes. Although traits that influence the response of multicellular organisms to environments have been studied, the identification of such traits in unicellular organisms, like ciliates, is underexplored.

Testing the deep‐sea glacial disturbance hypothesis as a cause of low, present‐day Norwegian Sea diversity and resulting steep latitudinal diversity gradient, using fossil records

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Aim Within the intensively‐studied, well‐documented latitudinal diversity gradient, the deep‐sea biodiversity of the present‐day Norwegian Sea stands out with its notably low diversity, constituting a steep latitudinal diversity gradient in the North Atlantic. The reason behind this has long been a topic of debate and speculation.

Do separated taxa react differently to a long-term salinity increase? The meiobenthos changes in Bay Sivash, largest hypersaline lagoon worldwide

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2019
In the world's largest hypersaline lagoon Bay Sivash, its ecosystem twice transformed from a previous state to a new one due to human intervention. Before the North Crimean Canal construction, it was hypersaline (average salinity of 140 g l−1). The canal

THE FIRST DATA ON THE MEIOBENTHOS OF LAKE NERO

Transactions of Papanin Institute for Biology of Inland Waters RAS, 2020
The paper provides the first results of a study of the qualitative and quantitative structure of the community of bottom meiofauna (meiobenthos) in shallow, hypereutrophic Lake Nero (Volga River basin, Yaroslavl region, Russia). In the samples, collected in early September 2017, 106 representatives from 16 systematic groups of aquatic organisms were ...

Copepoda of lowland springs: diversity patterns and integrative taxonomy of Cyclops

Journal of Limnology
Groundwater copepods in lowland Europe remain insufficiently studied compared to those from mountainous regions. Here, we present the results of a faunistic and ecological survey of lowland springs, conducted in the context of earlier research on ...

Taxonomic Study of Free-Living Marine Nematodes in the Subgenus Tricoma (Desmoscolecida: Desmoscolecidae) from the Subtidal Zone of the East Sea, Korea, with Insights into the Ultrastructure of the Lip Region

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
This study provides a taxonomic analysis of three newly discovered species of free-living marine nematodes in the subgenus Tricoma from the East Sea, Korea. Tricoma (Tricoma) polyringulata sp. nov. is characterized by its relatively small body size, with

Bottom meiofauna of highly mineralised rivers in the Eltonsky Nature Park (Russia)

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
As established by numerous research the community of bottom meiofauna (meiobenthos) plays an important role in the diversity, quantitative characteristics and trophic relationships of the hydrofauna, as well as in the general flow of matter and energy of
