Meiofaunal communities are dominated by free-living nematodes and harpacticoid copepods. Most of the studies defining environmental drivers that influence meiofauna focus on these profuse groups. The ‘rare’ meiofaunal organisms (densities <5%) frequently overlooked, making it difficult to know which abiotic variables their populations, or ecological role in benthic ecosystems. In this study, we explore factors characterize a low human-polluted mangrove French Guiana (western Atlantic...
The risk assessment of Seafloor Massive Sulfides (SMS) mining on meiobenthic organisms, specifically soft-sediment meiofauna, is impeded by a lack knowledge the biology and ecology these communities. In this study we investigated sediment samples taken in proximity active vents at Trans-Atlantic Geotraverse (TAG) Snake Pit, two hydrothermal vent fields Mid-Atlantic Ridge, order to explore metazoan particularly nematode community, its relation organic carbon, total nitrogen, sulfur dissolved...
Mangroves develop under environmental conditions and anthropogenic pressures whose impact on benthic meiofauna remains poorly understood. It is unclear how communities are structured according to local sedimentary conditions. This study was designed characterize the community structure of nematodes (dominant taxa) associated forcings in intertidal mangrove sediments from Mayotte (Indo-West-Pacific), Martinique Guadeloupe (Caribbean). Sediment cores were sampled at end dry season low tide...
This study provides new insights on sediment contamination and meiofauna communities of mangrove ecosystems Guadeloupe, Martinique Mayotte, aiming to establish their ecological status. We characterized diversity patterns nematodes at different spatial scales identify the community responses various sedimentary conditions including inorganic organic contaminants. The results show that fine horizontal vertical variations in parameters determine local-scale differences between stations each...
