Phloxine B Staining is Compatible With High‐Throughput DNA Barcoding of Meiofauna
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Modern, integrative biodiversity research requires methods capable of bridging the gap between detailed morphological observations and the scalability of DNA sequencing. For small, transparent, and highly abundant animals like meiofauna, sorting specimens from the matrix forms a major bottleneck, as the use of commonly used stains can inhibit ...

Meiofauna in Tropical Montane Streams: Biotic and Abiotic Factors Regulating Communities
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2023 Meiofauna is a group of heterotrophic organisms smaller than macroinvertebrates but larger than microfauna and characterized by groups such as testate amoebae, ciliates, and nematodes.

Endemic Mediterranean seagrasses poised to survive climate change challenges
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.Abstract Understanding the current and future trajectories of critical habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management, especially in semi‐enclosed environments such as the Mediterranean Sea. Endemic habitats in the Mediterranean, such as Posidonia meadows, are crucial for marine biodiversity, nutrient cycling, oxygen ...

Occurrence of 'Antrobathynella stammeri' (Jakobi, 1954) (Crustacea: Syncarida: Bathynellidae) in the hyporheic zones of two English karst rivers [PDF]
, 2008 This paper reports the first records of Antrobathynella stammeri in the British Isles since 1985. Numerous individuals were observed in hyporheic water extracted from the River Skirfare (Yorkshire, UK), whilst, in an independent study, a single confirmed

Contribution of epilithic diatoms to benthic−pelagic coupling in a temperate river [PDF]
, 2013 Water residence time in the middle course of rivers is often too short to allow substantial phytoplankton development, and primary production is essentially provided by benthic phototrophic biofilms.

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.Abstract The thousands of oil and gas (OG) platforms placed at sea for fossil fuel extraction have introduced new hard substrate to the marine environment. Over time, these structures can become colonized by a diversity of marine life, fostering novel ecosystems.

Influence of Chironomus riparius (Diptera, Chironomidae) and Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Oligochaeta) on oxygen uptake by sediments. Consequences of uranium contamination [PDF]
, 2008 The diffusive oxygen uptake (DOU) of sediments inhabited by Chironomus riparius and Tubifex tubifex was investigated using a planar oxygen optode device, and complemented by measurements of bioturbation activity.

Seasonal Metacommunity Processes of Benthic Invertebrates in the Vjosa/Aoos River
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.The Vjosa River network harbors Europe's last free flowing metacommunity. Here, environmental and spatial constraints together with biotic interactions shape a dynamically changing metacommunity, but the importance of these ecological drivers changes over time and across space. We argue that understanding the complex and dynamic metacommunity processes
