CellTracker Green labelling vs. rose bengal staining: CTG wins by points in distinguishing living from dead anoxia-impacted copepods and nematodes [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 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 ...

Assessment of Preservation and Extraction Methods for Environmental DNA in Sediments

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
We assessed how different preservation methods (freezing, room temperature, silica gel, Longmire buffer) affect eDNA metabarcoding results for bacterial, fungal, microeukaryotic, and metazoan communities in marine and freshwater sediments. Results demonstrate taxonomic‐ and habitat‐specific responses to preservation methods, providing evidence‐based ...

Scalable Benthic Biomonitoring: Trade‐Offs Between Bulk and Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Across Sediment Types

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Direct eDNA metabarcoding is the most scalable method for large benthic monitoring programs, provided that sampling effort is increased to compensate for slightly lower per‐sample biodiversity recovery. ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding offers prospects to assess benthic biodiversity in a more scalable and comprehensive way, but processing methods remain ...

Meiofauna techniques

open access: yes, 2013
Summary. Meiofaunal organisms are mobile multicellular animals that are smaller than macrofauna and larger than microfauna. The size boundaries of meiofauna are generally based on the standardised mesh apertures of sieves with 500 μm (or 1000 μm) as ...

Predicting large-scale spatial patterns of marine meiofauna: implications for environmental monitoring

open access: yesOcean and Coastal Research
This study aims model the distribution of meiofauna indicators in relation to environmental variables from the Santos Basin continental margin, SE Brazil, using machine learning techniques, to provide baseline information and foster future monitoring ...

Microalgae and Meiofauna Induce Heterogeneous Biostabilization in Marine Sediments

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Transport of non‐cohesive sediments affects monitoring and navigating coastal waters, yet prediction is confounded by extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by microbes and microalgae. EPS binds the surface layer of seafloor sediments together in a biomat, increasing the hydrodynamic forces required to initiate sediment motion ...

Effects of the burrowing crab Chasmagnathus granulata (Dana) on meiofauna of estuarine intertidal habitats of Patos Lagoon, Southern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian 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 ...
