The quantitative separation of meiofauna [PDF]

open access: yesHelgoländer Wissenschaftliche Meeresuntersuchungen, 1973
1. This paper presents the results of a meeting on the evaluation of quantitative procedures for the separation of meiofauna, held at the Marine Station of the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland, in May 1972. Close co-operation on the part of the participants (p.

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 ...

Contribution of epilithic diatoms to benthic−pelagic coupling in a temperate river [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Contribution to the knowledge of the family Otoplanidae Hallez, 1892 (Rhabditophora, Proseriata) in the Mediterranean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A growing awareness is rising that present perception of marine biodiversity is inadequate, and based upon unrepresentative data. The inadequacy of knowledge on taxonomy and distribution of marine organisms is particularly acute for interstitial ...

Bioaugmentation mitigates the impact of estrogen on coliform-grazing protozoa in slow sand filters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as estrogens, is a growing issue for human and animal health as they have been shown to cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in wildlife and plants and have been linked to male ...

Patterns of diversity and endemism of soft-bodied meiofauna in an oceanic island, Lanzarote, Canary Islands

open access: yesMarine Biodiversity, 2019
Oceanic islands, characterized by high levels of endemism and distinct faunas when compared to neighbouring continents, represent natural evolutionary laboratories for biologists to understand ecological and evolutionary processes.

No Sign of Homogenisation in Reef Fish Communities Across an Ecological Transition Zone Exposed to Warming

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Marine organisms are responding to warming by altering their distribution ranges, causing biogeographic range shifts and in some cases, favouring the community homogenisation. Transition zones can act as natural laboratories to explore the consequences of homogenisation.

Composition and vertical distribution of metazoan meiofauna assemblages on the continental shelf off central Chile

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2015
A quantitative study of metazoan meiofauna was carried out in Valparaiso Bay (33°S 71°W) which is affected by seasonal hypoxia in central Chile. The contents of bottom water, dissolved oxygen (BWDO), organic carbon, chloroplast pigments and composition ...

Exploring copepod distribution patterns at three nested spatial scales in a spring system. Habitat partitioning and potential for hydrological bioindication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In groundwater-fed springs, habitat characteristics are primarily determined by a complex combination of geomorphic features and physico-chemical parameters, while species assemblages are even more intricate.

Is the meiofauna a good indicator for climate change and anthropogenic impacts?

open access: yesMarine Biodiversity, 2015
Our planet is changing, and one of the most pressing challenges facing the scientific community revolves around understanding how ecological communities respond to global changes. From coastal to deep-sea ecosystems, ecologists are exploring new areas of
