Short-term microplastic effects on marine meiofauna abundance, diversity and community composition [PDF]
PeerJBackground Due to the copious disposal of plastics, marine ecosystems receive a large part of this waste. Microplastics (MPs) are solid particles smaller than 5 millimeters in size. Among the plastic polymers, polystyrene (PS) is one of the most commonly

Meiofauna metabolism in suboxic sediments: currently overestimated. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Oxygen is recognized as a structuring factor of metazoan communities in marine sediments. The importance of oxygen as a controlling factor on meiofauna (32 µm-1 mm in size) respiration rates is however less clear.

Recovery of deep-sea meiofauna community in Kaikōura Canyon following an earthquake-triggered turbidity flow [PDF]
PeerJTurbidity flows can transport massive amounts of sediment across large distances with dramatic, long-lasting impacts on deep-sea benthic communities. The 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake triggered a canyon-flushing event in Kaikōura Canyon, New Zealand ...

Limited Spatial and Temporal Variability in Meiofauna and Nematode Communities at Distant but Environmentally Similar Sites in an Area of Interest for Deep-Sea Mining [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 To be able to adequately assess potential environmental impacts of deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining, the establishment of a proper environmental baseline, incorporating both spatial and temporal variability, is essential.
