The swash zone selects functionally specialized assemblages of beach interstitial meiofauna (Platyhelminthes, Proseriata)

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 2, February 2025.
Life is not a beach for those animals that survive in the rough ecological conditions found in marine sandy beaches – and yet, microscopic animals thrive on them. We explore the drivers for meiofaunal diversity in beaches by analysing taxonomic and functional patterns of 348 flatworm communities across 116 reflective beaches in the western ...

The enigmatic mineral particle accumulations on the cuticular rings of marine desmoscolecoid nematodes structure and significance explained with clues from live observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The majority of Desmoscolecoidea are characterized by ring-shaped accumulations of mineral particles on the cuticle resulting in the impression of a peculiar body articulation.

Low‐frequency noise affects development and movement patterns of a calanoid copepod

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 100-112, January 2025.
Abstract Anthropogenic stressors are omnipresent in marine environments and interfere with organisms of all sizes, from large whales to small organisms. We investigated potential interactive multistressor effects of increased temperature with chronic low‐frequency sound on the development and movement patterns of the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa, a ...

First descriptions of copepodid stages, sexual dimorphism and intraspecific variability of Mesocletodes Sars, 1909 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Argestidae), including the description of a new species with broad abyssal distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Mesocletodes Sars, 1909a encompasses 37 species to date. Initial evidence on intraspecific variability and sexual dimorphism has been verified for 77 specimens of Mesocletodes elmari sp. n. from various deep-sea regions, and ontogenetic development has

Meiofauna as a Tool for Marine Ecosystem Biomonitoring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Meiofauna are the metazoan component of the benthos, and also include large protozoans (e.g. foraminifera). They are defined by their body size (44-1000 μm) and are the most diversified element of the marine biota: as many as 24 of the 35 animal phyla have meiobenthic representatives which live in meiofauna, whether for all their life or just ...
