The effect of estuarine system on the meiofauna and nematodes in the East Siberian Sea
Scientific Reports, 2021 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.

Briny Biology: Nematodes From the Hypersaline Springs of the Central Namib Desert
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We investigated nematode communities in from seven hypersaline desert springs in the central Namib Desert. We found nematodes in most sediment and microbial mat samples collected, with some present (although likely cryptobiotic) at electrical conductivity values exceeding 500 mS/cm.

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

Meiofauna Community in Soft Sediments at TAG and Snake Pit Hydrothermal Vent Fields
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 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.

Effects of temperature on in vitro sediment reworking processes by a gallery biodiffusor, the polychaete Neanthes virens [PDF]
, 2004 Temperature-induced variations in bioturbation could affect sediment mixing processes in the marine benthic environment. In this study, sediment reworking by Neanthes virens (Sars), a widely distributed polychaete in muddy sand communities of northern ...

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

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 397-417, March 2026.Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Ecological Drivers of Kinorhynch Diversity in the Southern Gulf of Mexico
Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Meiofaunal studies in both shelf and deep‐water benthic habitats of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) have increased notably over the last decade, including research focused on specific taxa such as kinorhynchs. In this study, a grid of 63 sampling sites was sampled, covering depths from 49.7 to 3708 m and encompassing most of the southwestern GOM, to ...
