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]
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.

A supplement to a bibliography of samplers for benthic invertebrates [PDF]
A supplement to the earlier bibliography compiled by Elliott and Tullett 1978 (FBA Occas. Publ. No. 4) covering literature from December 1977 - December 1982 on samplers that could be used for the rapid removal of benthic intertebrates from the natural ...

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

Variación temporal de las Comunidades de la Meiofauna en una Playa del Ecuador
La estructura de la comunidad de la meiofauna fue estudiada quincenalmente en dos zonas de muestreo: supralitoral e infralitoral, a lo largo de un año, en la playa arenosa de San Pedro de Manglaralto, Ecuador, para describir su patrón de distribución en

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]
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]
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 ...
