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 ...

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

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

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.

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.

Abundance of Meiofauna and Physical-Chemical Parameters as Water Quality Indicator
Ilmu Kelautan, 2019 The zone of Losari Coast is an icon of Makassar city, however increase activity of surrounding communities causes a decrease in the water quality. Meiofauna is an effective benthic organism used as an indicator of water quality.

Unifying Retaria Research: A Common Framework for Studying Foraminifera and Radiolaria
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 6, June 2026.Research on Foraminifera and Radiolaria has predominantly focused on their fossil remains. This synthesis identifies the “Big Five” disciplines of a unified Retaria research: diversity and evolution, ecology, life cycles, and ecosystem roles, highlighting this lineage as a model system for understanding life's resilience in a rapidly changing planet ...
