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 ...

Invisible invaders: A new warning flag for molecularly detected alien species (MODAS) in databases and information systems

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
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

Composition and vertical distribution of metazoan meiofauna assemblages on the continental shelf off central Chile

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2015
A quantitative study of metazoan meiofauna was carried out in Valparaiso Bay (33°S 71°W) which is affected by seasonal hypoxia in central Chile. The contents of bottom water, dissolved oxygen (BWDO), organic carbon, chloroplast pigments and composition ...

Meiofauna Life on Loggerhead Sea Turtles-Diversely Structured Abundance and Biodiversity Hotspots That Challenge the Meiofauna Paradox

Diversity, 2020
Sea turtles migrate thousands of miles annually between foraging and breeding areas, carrying dozens of epibiont species with them on their journeys. Most sea turtle epibiont studies have focused on large-sized organisms, those visible to the naked eye ...

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 We used meta‐analysis of 23 published and unpublished datasets comprising 721 ice cores to synthesize the variability in

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.
