Distribution Patterns of Meiofauna Assemblages and Their Relationship With Environmental Factors of Deep Sea Adjacent to the Yap Trench, Western Pacific Ocean

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Sediment samples were collected from 23 sites near the Yap Trench in the Western Pacific Ocean with a depth range of 2896–7837 m. The assemblage composition, spatial distribution, and relationship with environmental variables of meiofauna were studied. A

Trends in Mangrove meiobenthic studies in India: an overview

open access: yesActa 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

Meiofauna Biodiversity and Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Meiofauna are small organisms ranging 30–500 μm in body size, inhabiting marine sediments and other substrata all over the world, even the most extreme ones. We can find many different meiofaunal species in a very small handful of sediment, with the most varied and curious shapes, that share peculiar lifestyles, ecological relationships, and ...

The response of meiofauna to human trampling on coral reefs

open access: yesScientia 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.

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

open access: yesDiversity
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,

Exploring copepod distribution patterns at three nested spatial scales in a spring system. Habitat partitioning and potential for hydrological bioindication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In groundwater-fed springs, habitat characteristics are primarily determined by a complex combination of geomorphic features and physico-chemical parameters, while species assemblages are even more intricate.

A checklist of the marine Harpacticoida (Copepoda) of the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Recent surveys on the benthic harpacticoids in the northwestern sector of the Caribbean have called attention to the lack of a list of species of this diverse group in this large tropical basin. A first checklist of the Caribbean harpacticoid copepods is

Bioaugmentation mitigates the impact of estrogen on coliform-grazing protozoa in slow sand filters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as estrogens, is a growing issue for human and animal health as they have been shown to cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in wildlife and plants and have been linked to male ...
