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 in Tropical Montane Streams: Biotic and Abiotic Factors Regulating Communities
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2023 Meiofauna is a group of heterotrophic organisms smaller than macroinvertebrates but larger than microfauna and characterized by groups such as testate amoebae, ciliates, and nematodes.

State of the art of the meiofauna of Brazilian Sandy Beaches
Brazilian Journal of OceanographyIn Brazil, meiofauna studies began in the middle of last century, but they adopted a purely taxonomical approach, describing species from various zoological groups. After this first step, this benthic group was largely neglected until the end of the 20th
