Migrations of Sandy Beach Meiofauna [PDF]
Zoologica Africana, 1977 The meiofauna at higher tide levels on a sheltered beach has been found to undergo vertical migrations correlated with the alternate drying and wetting of the sand during the tidal cycle. This movement may be modified by temperature differences between summer and winter and day and night.

Occurrence of meiofauna in Phaeocystis seafoam [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1989 ABSTRACT- Seafoam formed by wave action from the remainders of colonial Phaeocystjs globosa may contain high numbers of melofauna. In foam collected in the Wadden Sea near the Island of Sylt (FRG) In June 1988, the harpacticolds (Copepoda) Tachidius discipes and Harpacticus flexus domi- nated in abundance.

DNA Metabarcoding Methods for the Study of Marine Benthic Meiofauna: A Review
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Meiofaunal animals, roughly between 0.045 and 1 mm in size, are ubiquitous and ecologically important inhabitants of benthic marine ecosystems. Their high species richness and rapid response to environmental change make them promising targets for ...

Benthic trophic interactions in an Antarctic shallow water ecosystem affected by recent glacier retreat [PDF]
, 2015 The western Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing strong environmental changes as a consequence of ongoing regional warming. Glaciers in the area are retreating rapidly and increased sediment-laden meltwater runoff threatens the benthic biodiversity at ...

The relationship between epilithic biofilm stability and its associated meiofauna under two patterns of flood disturbance [PDF]
, 2012 Habitat stability is an important driver of ecological community composition and development. River epilithic biofilms are particularly unstable habitats for the establishment of benthic communities because they are regularly disturbed by floods. Our aim
