Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 735-749, March 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Tardigrades are important members of Antarctic metazoan communities with many endemic species. Major biogeographic patterns of Antarctic fauna have been identified, in particular regarding the zonation across the Gressitt line, dividing Continental and Peninsular Antarctica. Evidences suggest that Antarctic tardigrades follow this zonation

Meiofauna in Rhodolith Beds on the Continental Shelf of the Potiguar Basin (Brazil)
Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 2, March 2025.ABSTRACT In continental shelves of tropical areas, ecological studies on meiofauna are scarce and most studies were mainly based on a single sampling event or limited spatial design. Along the Potiguar Basin continental shelf, carbonate sediments, produced by calcareous algae (rhodoliths) and corals, dominate. The ecology of rhodolith beds has been the

Problems in meiofauna energy-flow studies [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 1984 The direct estimation of energy flow through marine meiobenthic populations poses several difficulties, mainly relating to sampling problems. The usefulness of some indirect estimation methods is discussed.

Maerl Bed Conservation: Successes and Failures
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT Most ecoregions lack data on maerl distribution and ecological status, so this needs fundamental research for conservation. Brittany, NW France, is an exception and has extensive research on maerl species, associated biodiversity, human‐induced impacts and protection efforts.

The Structuring Role of Rhodolith Beds on Meiobenthic Communities in the Mediterranean Sea
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are globally distributed structurally complex habitats formed by the aggregation of unattached forms of non‐geniculate coralline red algae. They provide key ecosystem functions and services, supporting feeding, settlement and nursery provision for several species.

Brazilian 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 ...

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
