Migrating ripples create streambed heterogeneity altering microbial diversity and metabolic activity
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 8, Page 1882-1899, August 2024.Abstract Sandy sediments of lowland streams are typically transported at low flow in the form of migrating ripples. In these bedforms, microbial communities spanning all trophic guilds (heterotrophic bacteria, fungi, photoautotrophic and phagotrophic protists) are exposed to highly frequent moving–resting cycles of sediment grains.

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.

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

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.

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 BrasiliensiaAim 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.

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 ...

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.

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
