Promotion is any process between species where one of them is of benefit to the others without being harmed in return. Prevailing concepts of community organization emphasize repressive or limiting interactions, such as predation and competition. Promotive interactions are hardly ever mentioned.

Meiofauna-Macrofauna Interactions: I. Sand Beach Meiofauna Affected by Maturing Limulus Eggs
Chesapeake Science, 1976Differential aggregation of meiofauna was associated with the presence of maturingLimulus eggs in a Roosevelt Inlet, Delaware, beach. Nematodes, gastrotrichs, oligochaetes and rotifers increased, whereas harpacticoid copepods, tardigrades and megalops larvae decreased; ostracods, turbellarians and nauplius larvae remained constant.

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

Survival Strategies of Meiofauna
1981Mechanisms of survival fall into two broad categories. To survive in the short term animals must, of course, be adapted to the particular environments in which they live. However, other properties of animal populations can be regarded as “adaptations to the pattern of the environment in space and time” (Levins, 1968) involving flexibility of response ...

1993Since methodology is the dominating aspect of the Introduction to the Study of Meiofauna (Higgins and Thiel 1988), this chapter should be read in close conjuction with that reference. Only the most important sampling methods will be presented here. In some cases I will include some supplementary hints not given in the previous book.
