Meiofauna matters: The roles of meiofauna in benthic ecosystems
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2018Sedimentary habitats cover most of the ocean bottom and therefore constitute the largest single ecosystem on Earth in spatial coverage. The benthic ecosystem contributes to human well-being by providing essential services such as food production and nutrient cycling.

The effects of meiofauna on settling macrofauna: meiofauna may structure macrofaunal communities
Oecologia, 1983When macrofaunal larvae and juveniles recruit into the benthos, they are in the same size catagory as the meiofauna. These small size classes have been consistently ignored in macrofaunal studies despite the increasingly accepted idea that communities are structured not only by interactions between adults, but also by interactions which occurred when ...

The Meiofauna of the Galápagos
1991About three hundred and ninety species of the marine meiofauna of the Galapagos Islands in fourteen higher invertebrate taxa are known. These animals are usually found living between sand grains on sandy beaches throughout the archipelago. The number of endemic genera and species is difficult to estimate due to inadequate comparative work in the ...

1993
The general zoogeographical pattern of meiofauna, at least in the marine field, seems still a “meiofauna paradox”. Why are there so many identical meiofauna taxa, even at lower systematic levels, in completely divergent areas? Why is there a close relationship despite apparent adaptations which prevent dispersal?

Aerobic Microbes and Meiofauna
1981Heterotrophic microorganisms in a detritus-based salt-marsh system are a major link in the mineralization and transformation of organic matter. The biomass and activity of heterotrophic microorganisms in the salt-marsh estuary at Sapelo Island have been examined with regard to both habitat and metabolic rotes.

Biological Characteristics of Meiofauna
1993The heterogeneity of meiofauna biotopes outlined above explains why there are only few morphological adaptations of general validity for the diverse meiofauna. It is in the interstitial system of medium and coarse sands that the mesopsammic fauna displays the most clearly adaptive features related to this peculiar environment. The formative constraints

The structure of meiofauna communities
Sarsia, 1978Abstract Although the meiofauna covers a diverse range of taxa, all are convergent in that (by definition) their size range is relatively restricted. Conceivably this could lead to community structure being organized in a different way to that in macrofauna.

Meiofauna and the origins of the Metazoa
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1989Possible alternative habitats and life-styles of the original metazoan are considered. It is argued from the dominance of the benthic habitat in present-day groups that the original metazoan habitat was benthic rather than planktonic. Similarly, plesiomorphic metazoan taxa tend to be holobenthic rather than pelago-benthic. It is therefore probable that
