Marine nematodes possess all the prerequisites to serve as “simpler models” for investigating biological phenomena and are gaining attention emerging model organisms. This review evaluates their potential address diverse questions regarding ecosystem functioning, climate change adaptation, host–microbe interactions, ecotoxicology, biotechnological applications. Among reviewed taxa, Litoditis marina select Monhysteridae species, such Diplolaimella dievengatensis, Halomonhystera disjuncta,...
Abstract Nematodes represent >3/5 of the abundance world’s metazoans and usually account for nearly 90% total benthic fauna, playing a key ecological role in ecosystem functioning on global scale. These small include relevant number microscopic predators and, turn, are most abundant preys macro-megafauna fish juveniles thus marine food webs. Here, using two independent approaches, we test bioaccumulation nematodes several heavy metals present contaminated sediments. We report here that...
ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are globally distributed structurally complex habitats formed by the aggregation of unattached forms non‐geniculate coralline red algae. They provide key ecosystem functions and services, supporting feeding, settlement nursery provision for several species. Despite their importance, associated faunal biodiversity is poorly known, particularly with regard to meiofauna. The Mediterranean lacking in data; here, meiofaunal samples were collected three sites from...
The effectiveness of a Marine Protected Area (MPA) is strongly related to its zoning design, management, and surveillance, fish communities are considered indicators conservation effects. Posidonia oceanica beds assemblages were studied here evaluate the fishing impacts Areas (MPAs) Santa Maria di Castellabate (SMC) Costa degli Infreschi e della Masseta (CIM) in South Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy. P. characteristics estimated counting collecting shoots, while investigated by visual census....
Seamounts are prominent volcanic seafloor features whose morphology affects many ocean processes, sustaining deep-sea communities and providing ecosystem functions services. Their study contributes to the understanding of geological, oceanographic, biological, ecological processes. Despite their acknowledged vulnerability human activities climate change, recovery time implications need be properly understood. Moreover, only recently conservation measures have been considered. In this study,...
