Is nematode colonisation in the presence of Scolelepis in tropical sandy-beach sediment similar to the colonisation process in temperate sandy beaches? [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2013 The role of a dominant macrobenthic polychaete, Scolelepis squamata, in the colonisation of defaunated tropical sediments by sandy-beach nematodes was investigated and compared with a previous colonisation experiment carried out on a temperate sandy ...

Prey type and foraging ecology of Sanderlings Calidris alba in different climate zones: are tropical areas more favourable than temperate sites? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Sanderlings (Calidris alba) are long-distance migratory shorebirds with a non-breeding range that spans temperate and tropical coastal habitats. Breeding in the High Arctic combined with non-breeding seasons in the tropics necessitate long migrations ...

Sea ice meiofauna distribution on local to pan-Arctic scales. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 We used a meta‐analysis to synthesize the variability in composition and abundance of sea ice‐inhabiting meiofauna at spatial scales ranging from within a single ice core to the pan‐Arctic and seasonal scales. Although variability was high at all spatial scales, the same phyla occurred across the Arctic, with taxa that have resting stages or tolerance ...

Macroinfauna of Six Beaches near Guaratuba Bay, Southern Brazil
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2001 Benthic macroinfauna of six beaches near to Guaratuba Bay, Paraná, Brazil were studied in summer and winter of 1994. Sampling stations were distributed along a transect, from upper of the drift line to depths of nearly 3 m behind the first break of the ...
