Benthic meiofauna as indicator of ecological changes in estuarine ecosystems: T...
Alves, Ana; Adão, Helena; Ferrero, T.J; Marques, J.C; Costa, Maria Jose; Patricio, J.a b s t r a c t Estuarine meiofauna communities have been only recently considered to be good indicators of ecological quality, exhibiting several advantages over macrofauna, such as their small size, high abundance, rapid generation times and absence of a planktonic phase. In estuaries we must account not only for a great natural variability along the estuarine gradient (e.g. sediment type and dynamics, oxygen...
The use of nematodes in assessing ecological conditions in shallow waters surro...
Losi, V.; Ferrero, T. J.; Moreno, M.; Gaozza, L.; Rovere, A.; Firpo, M.; Marques, J. C.; Albertelli, G.The spatial distribution and structure of nematode assemblages in the area surrounding the harbour of Vado Ligure (Savona, NW Mediterranean) were studied in relation to the influence of natural and anthropogenic environmental factors. Stations were selected following an “anthropogenic gradient” from sites located near the city centre and its harbour to more pristine and distant sites. Sediment quality was deter...
Estuaries from a meiofaunal perspective: biodiversity patterns of benthic nemat...
Alves, Ana; Adão, Helena; Ferrero, T.J; Costa, M.J.; Marques, J. C.; Patricio, J.Estuarine meiofauna communities have been only recently considered to be good indicators of ecological quality status, in contrast with macrofauna which is widely used in the assessment and monitoring of aquatic systems. Meiofauna features, such as their small size, high abundance, rapid generation times and absence of a planktonic phase, make these assemblages potential target indicators. In estuaries, we must...
