Sea ice meiofauna distribution on local to pan‐Arctic scales

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Arctic sea ice provides microhabitats for biota that inhabit the liquid‐filled network of brine channels and the ice–water interface. We used meta‐analysis of 23 published and unpublished datasets comprising 721 ice cores to synthesize the variability in

Community structure of the intertidal meiofauna along a gradient of morphodynamic sandy beach types in southern Chile Estructura comunitaria de la meiofauna intermareal en un gradiente de tipos morfodinámicos de playas arenosas en el sur de Chile

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2001
Three sandy beaches located in southern Chile (Gaviotas, Guabún and Mar Brava; ca. 42º S) were studied during the summer of 2000 to analyse the patterns in abundance and biomass of the meiofauna along a gradient of morphodynamic beach types.

Petaloconchus (Gastropoda: Vermetidae) reefs as habitat for meiofauna with a focus on free-living nematodes in tropical coasts

Discover Oceans
The reef-building gastropod Petaloconchus is a critical ecosystem engineer in intertidal zones. Despite the high ecological importance, the fauna of these bioconstructions is virtually unknown worldwide.

Meiofauna as Sentinels of Beach Ecosystems: A Quantitative Review of Gaps and Opportunities in Beach Meiofauna Research

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science
Meiofauna are the most abundant and diverse animal group on beaches, encompassing 20 metazoan phyla and contributing to taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of beach ecosystems. Meiofauna react fast to environmental change and disturbance, and therefore, might represent a good sentinel to efficiently anticipate human-driven perturbations ...
