Macroecology and meiobenthos: Reply to Warwick (2014) [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2014 Warwick (2014; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 505:295-298) suggests that my claim that the biology of marine metazoan benthos may scale continuously with body mass (Bett 2013; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 487:1-6) is an overstatement. His alternative hypothesis is that there is a ‘step-change’ in allometric relationships between the meio- and macrobenthos.

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 ...

Koedoe: 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 ...

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 ...

A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates
Limnology 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

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2024.ABSTRACT Hydrothermal vents are biodiversity hotspots on the deep seafloor powered by chemosynthetic primary production, inhabited by a specially adapted fauna whose composition varies between regions. Sumisu Caldera, located approximately 500 km south of Tokyo, hosts a hot vent with an unusual species composition among the Izu–Ogasawara Arc sites and ...

Two new meiofaunal species of Trilobodrilus (Dinophilidae, Annelida) from California, USA
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2018 We describe two new species of the annelid genus Trilobodrilus Remane, 1925 (Dinophilidae Verill, 1892) from an intertidal and a subtidal location in San Diego, California. These two species show morphological and molecular divergences between each other
