Characteristics of meiofauna in extreme marine ecosystems: a review [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity, 2018 Extreme marine environments cover more than 50% of the Earth’s surface and offer many opportunities for investigating the biological responses and adaptations of organisms to stressful life conditions. Extreme marine environments are sometimes associated

Probabilistic ecological risk assessment for deep-sea mining: A Bayesian network for Chatham Rise, Pacific Ocean. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Increasing interest in seabed resource use in the ocean is introducing new pressures on deep‐sea environments, the ecological impacts of which need to be evaluated carefully. The complexity of these ecosystems and the lack of comprehensive data pose significant challenges to predicting potential impacts.

Diversity, 2020 Sea turtles migrate thousands of miles annually between foraging and breeding areas, carrying dozens of epibiont species with them on their journeys. Most sea turtle epibiont studies have focused on large-sized organisms, those visible to the naked eye ...

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.

Meiofauna Community in Soft Sediments at TAG and Snake Pit Hydrothermal Vent Fields
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The risk assessment of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) mining on meiobenthic organisms, specifically on soft-sediment meiofauna, is impeded by a lack of knowledge on the biology and ecology of these communities.

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 ...

Abundance of Meiofauna and Physical-Chemical Parameters as Water Quality Indicator
Ilmu Kelautan, 2019 The zone of Losari Coast is an icon of Makassar city, however increase activity of surrounding communities causes a decrease in the water quality. Meiofauna is an effective benthic organism used as an indicator of water quality.

Sea ice meiofauna distribution on local to pan‐Arctic scales
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Arctic sea ice provides microhabitats for biota that inhabit the liquid‐filled network of brine channels and the ice–water interface. We used meta‐analysis of 23 published and unpublished datasets comprising 721 ice cores to synthesize the variability in
