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.

Contribution of soft-bodied meiofaunal taxa to Italian marine biodiversity
The European Zoological Journal, 2020 Meiofauna includes an astonishing diversity of organisms, whose census is far from being complete. Most classic ecological studies have focused on hard-bodied Ecdysozoan taxa (notably Copepoda and Nematoda), whose cuticle allows determination at species ...

Annual dynamics of meiobenthic communities in the Ligurian Sea (northwestern Mediterranean): preliminary results [PDF]
, 1994 The dynamics of meiobenthic community were investigated on sandy sediments of the pilot station of Zoagli (Ligurian Sea) between January 1991 and January 1992. Meiofaunal densities ranged between 447 (April) and 3421 (July) ind./10 cm2.

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.

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 ...

Assessing the response of nematode communities to climate change-driven warming : a microcosm experiment [PDF]
, 2013 Biodiversity has diminished over the past decades with climate change being among the main responsible factors. One consequence of climate change is the increase in sea surface temperature, which, together with long exposure periods in intertidal areas ...

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.
