Meiofauna—Adapted to Life at the Limits
, 2023 Meiofauna are ubiquitous members of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Some of them can thrive under boundary conditions that are challenging to most other organisms. The discovery of well-adapted meiobenthic communities under extreme environments (e.g., sub-glacial sediments or deep in the Earth’s crust) has opened new insights into life under limiting ...

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 ...
