Community structure of the intertidal meiofauna along a gradient of morphodynamic sandy beach types in southern Chile Estructura comunitaria de la meiofauna intermareal en un gradiente de tipos morfodinámicos de playas arenosas en el sur de Chile

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2001
Three sandy beaches located in southern Chile (Gaviotas, Guabún and Mar Brava; ca. 42º S) were studied during the summer of 2000 to analyse the patterns in abundance and biomass of the meiofauna along a gradient of morphodynamic beach types.

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.

COMPARATIVE COMPOSITION, ABUNDANCE AND DOMINANCE OF MEIOFAUNA BETWEEN A MUDDY AND A SANDY SUBSTRATE IN SILUT BAY, CENTRAL PHILIPPINES

Annals of Tropical Research, 1987
The tropical meiofauna communities of a muddy and a sandy portion in Silut Bay, Liloan, Central Philippines were compared. The sandy substrate supports a more varied meiofauna community than the muddy substrate although faunal composition between the ...

Minimal Impacts of Tyre Particle Exposure on Estuarine Meiofaunal Community Structure, Primary Production, and Nutrient Cycling

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Tyre wear particles are a significant source of primary microplastics in the natural environment with the potential to accumulate in aquatic sediments, yet our understanding of the ecological impact of these particles is limited.
