Metagenetic analysis of patterns of distribution and diversity of marine meiobenthic eukaryotes
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review
Electronic versions
Meiofaunal communities that inhabit the marine benthos offer unique opportunities to simultaneously study the macroecology of numerous phyla that exhibit different life-history strategies. Here, we ask: (1) if the macroecology of meiobenthic communities is explained mainly by dispersal constraints or by environmental conditions; and (2) if levels of meiofaunal diversity surpass existing estimates based on morphological taxonomy.
