CellTracker Green labelling vs. rose bengal staining: CTG wins by points in distinguishing living from dead anoxia-impacted copepods and nematodes [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Hypoxia and anoxia have become a key threat to shallow coastal seas. Much is known about their impact on macrofauna, less on meiofauna. In an attempt to shed more light on the latter group, in particular from a process-oriented view, we experimentally ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Benthic community responses to aquaculture organic matter enrichment remain poorly understood in tropical low‐input farms typical of scattered island socio‐ecosystems. Detecting these responses requires sensitive approaches such as eDNA metabarcoding across multiple biological groups.

Consensus on future research directions in the phylum Rotifera
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Rotifers play key roles in aquatic ecosystems, yet significant uncertainty remains about their diversity and evolution, and further evidence is needed to determine how reliably their responses to global change and human impacts can inform conservation.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Oxygen is critical for nearly all life on Earth, including aquatic species that breathe dissolved oxygen in both freshwater and marine systems. The rapid, global, and anthropogenic loss of dissolved oxygen known as “aquatic deoxygenation” threatens life in these environments, the human communities that depend on them, and Earth system ...

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2005 This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the burrowing crab Chasmagnathus granulata on meiofauna at three intertidal habitats across a tidal exposure gradient (i.e., an emerged salt marsh, an emerged mudflat and a submerged mudflat) in an estuarine ...

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Addressing false negatives and positives in eDNA studies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 1977-2008, July 2026.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized the study of ecology and biodiversity, enabling species detection without direct observation in the environment. However, the implications of detection errors, specifically false positives and false negatives, are poorly reported in eDNA studies, significantly hindering our understanding of the ...
