Abstract Invasive alien species (IAS) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services. Early detection and monitoring are essential for preventing IAS spread and mitigating their impacts. Conventional monitoring approaches rely on physical evidence and frequently fail to detect species in inaccessible habitats, cryptic life stages, or poorly

Meiofauna (all invertebrates smaller than 1 mm) are not only sensitive to environmental changes but also contribute significantly to nutrient cycling and energy transfer to higher trophic levels.

Low‐Head Dam Removal Restores Biofilm Structure but Not Function in a Temperate Stream
ABSTRACT Barrier removal is a common stream restoration practice aimed at restoring longitudinal connectivity, yet its effects on biofilm structure and function, through alteration of near‐bed hydrodynamics, remain unclear. Using a space‐for‐time substitution approach, we assessed how the presence and removal of a low‐head dam affect biofilm structure ...

Hydrological seasonality shapes microbial biomass and diversity in an equatorial estuarine mangrove
Abstract Mangroves are pantropical marine forests rooted in soft sediments and subject to pronounced seasonal variability. However, the effects of these hydrological fluctuations on root‐associated prokaryotic communities remain poorly understood, particularly in underexplored regions like the Guianas.

This objective was accomplished by examining changes in the structure of meiofaunal and nematode assemblages after exposure to different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, 15%, and 20%) of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in microcosms.

The effect of estuarine system on the meiofauna and nematodes in the East Siberian Sea
Arctic meiofauna and nematodes were examined at 12 stations in the East Siberian Sea, covering a depth range of 13–59 m and an estuarine-shelf system from the Indigirka and Kolyma rivers to the adjacent shelf.

A global assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren: Functional consistency with depth
Abstract Lebensspuren—sedimentary traces produced by benthic organisms—are widespread on deep‐sea floors but remain infrequently reported from abyssal (~ 3000–6000) and hadal (> 6000 m) environments. Here, we present the most comprehensive assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren to date, spanning multiple ocean basins and reaching full‐ocean

Meiofauna Community in Soft Sediments at TAG and Snake Pit Hydrothermal Vent Fields
The risk assessment of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) mining on meiobenthic organisms, specifically on soft-sediment meiofauna, is impeded by a lack of knowledge on the biology and ecology of these communities.

The mostly marine nematode order Desmoscolecida is globally distributed with over 270 species known to date. Here, we describe Greeffiella bellula n. sp., the first desmoscolecid species to be described from New Zealand waters, from deep‐sea sediments. The new species is most similar to G. japonica, described from coastal sediments in the Sea of Japan,
