Potential impacts of polymetallic nodule removal on deep-sea meiofauna
Scientific Reports, 2021 Deep seabed mining is potentially imminent in the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ; northeast Pacific). Seabed collectors will remove polymetallic nodules and the surrounding surface sediments, both inhabited by meiofauna, along their path.

Trends in Mangrove meiobenthic studies in India: an overview
Acta Biologica, 2021 In spite, of being the most threatened coastal habitats in the world, mangrove ecosystems offer a host of goods and services to the coastal communities. With over 4,975 sq.km of the mangrove area, India has the largest mangrove in Asia that constitutes

The response of meiofauna to human trampling on coral reefs
Scientia Marina, 2011 Coastal environments are trampled by humans worldwide; however, there are few studies that evaluate the effect of trampling on the meiofauna of hard substrates, and none on meiofauna of reef environments.

Spatial and temporal changes in interstitial meiofauna on a sandy ocean beach of South America
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2007 Spatial and temporal patterns of meiofauna community from a Brazilian sandy beach were investigated. The objective of this work was to analyze the meiofauna distribution using a statistical model that considers the biological data as variables, and ...

Meiofauna mediates ecosystem effects of anthropogenic disturbances in the oceans.
, 2022 Humans have used, and had effects on, marine ecosystems, particularly during the recent history. As the human population and its economic activities increase, these effects intensify at the global scale and at all depths.

Addressing false negatives and positives in eDNA studies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized the study of ecology and biodiversity, enabling species detection without direct observation in the environment. However, the implications of detection errors, specifically false positives and false negatives, are poorly reported in eDNA studies, significantly hindering our understanding of the ...

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Marine gastrotrichs inhabit sediments with limited available light, yet evidence suggests that photoreceptor organs are present throughout the phylum Gastrotricha. Here, we confirm this proposition with ultrastructural descriptions of photoreceptive organs in two species of Xenotrichulidae (Order Chaetonotida) that lack pigmented ocelli ...
