This paper identifies the top-50 priority questions for meiofaunal research, highlighting their critical roles in biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity. It calls a balanced research agenda, international cooperation, advances technology to overcome current challenges unlock meiofauna's full potential.

Sea turtles migrate thousands of miles annually between foraging and breeding areas, carrying dozens epibiont species with them on their journeys. Most sea turtle studies have focused large-sized organisms, those visible to the naked eye. Here, we report previously undocumented levels abundance biodiversity for loggerhead (Caretta caretta), by focusing microscopic meiofauna. During peak 2018 nesting season at St. George Island, Florida, USA, sampled all epibionts from 24 carapaces. From...
The resilience of ecosystems to negative impacts is generally higher when high gene flow, species diversity and genetic are present. Population studies suitable investigate estimate flow between populations. Seaweed beds form a dynamic shallow water ecosystem influenced by climate change human exploitation, as such, seaweed particularly powerful model in coastal areas. We studied the population structure new nematode Paracanthonchus gynodiporata associated with seaweeds northeastern Brazil....
In addition to an increase in mean temperature, climate change models predict decreasing amplitudes of daily temperature fluctuations. temperate regions, where and seasonal fluctuations are prominent, such decreases can have a pronounced effect on the fitness species outcome interactions. this study, regime with versus constant interspecific interactions three cryptic marine nematode complex Litoditis marina (Pm I, Pm III IV) were investigated. lab experiment, different combinations...
Intertidal meiofauna were collected from various locations around the Pina Basin, Recife, Brazil. The basin is a shallow restricted environment which receives large quantities of untreated sewage, and therefore polluted, eutrophic hypoxic. identified to major taxa (nematodes, copepods, polychaetes, oligochaetes, turbellarians, gastrotrichs, rotifers, ostracods, acari, juvenile amphipods bivalves) counted. Subsamples nematodes extracted level genus. nematode community structure was typical...
Phenanthrene is one of the most common Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in marine environment. It has high lipoafinity and environmental persistence tends to accumulate benthic ecosystems. Exposure phenanthrene can have severe impacts on a wide range organisms, from nematodes fish. These effects be exacerbated with concurrent warming associated climate change. In this study we investigated response free-living nematode populations species Diplolaimelloides delyi following exposure...
A better understanding of deep-sea biology requires knowledge the structure and function their communities, spatial, temporal, environmental patterns, changes dynamics that govern them. Some most studied patterns in are those related to bathymetrical gradients. For meiofauna nematodes, such studies have highlighted importance recognizing regional differences using ecological mechanisms explain patterns. Despite holding significant fisheries oil gas resources, eastern Brazilian Continental...
Estuarine environments are suggested to be the final receivers of human pollution and impacted by surrounding urbanization compounds carried river waters that flow from continent. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) among contaminants can reach estuaries directly affect marine conservation, being considered highly deleterious organisms living in these environments. This research investigated meiofauna three exposed different levels consequently PAH concentrations, order assess how...
Background Due to the copious disposal of plastics, marine ecosystems receive a large part this waste. Microplastics (MPs) are solid particles smaller than 5 millimeters in size. Among plastic polymers, polystyrene (PS) is one most commonly used and discarded. its density being greater that water, it accumulates sediments, potentially affecting benthic communities. This study investigated ingestion MP their effect on meiofauna community sandy beach. Meiofauna an important trophic link...
