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

Impact of Different Sources of Anthropogenic Pollution on the Structure and Distribution of Antarctic Marine Meiofauna Communities

Diversity
Human influence on Antarctic marine ecosystems is a growing concern, despite limited information being available. This study investigated the coastal meiofauna and environmental parameters of 10 locations, 4 of which served as reference points (OB1, OB2,

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 ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Translocated Clam Retention and Effects on Ecosystem Functions Across a Gradient of Environmental Stress

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Estuarine ecosystems are experiencing increasing land‐derived stress, bringing sediments, excess nutrients and contaminants. Once degraded, disturbed soft sediment ecosystems can take years to recover because long‐lived, functionally important species that aid recovery are lost.

State of the art of the meiofauna of Brazilian Sandy Beaches

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography
In 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

Environmental DNA metabarcoding of intertidal meiofauna sheds light on its potential for habitat discovery

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Benthic meiofauna is a fundamental component of food webs and nutrient exchange of marine ecosystems. However, its diversity pattern and ecology of intertidal meiofauna remain poorly understood because the studies are often constrained by morphology ...

Estuarine benthic diversity declines with temperature across a tropical–temperate gradient

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Estuarine benthic sediments are important habitats that support ecosystem health and productivity, but the drivers of large‐scale patterns in benthic diversity are not well documented. Using 18S amplicon sequencing of 425 sediment DNA samples from estuaries spanning 20° of latitude along Australia's east coast, we assessed tropical–temperate patterns ...
