Assessing meiofaunal variation among individuals utilising morphological and molecular approaches: an example using the Tardigrada.

BMC ecology - 30 Apr 2008

Sands Chester J, Convey Peter, Linse Katrin, McInnes Sandra J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Meiofauna - multicellular animals captured between sieve size 45 mum and 1000 mum - are a fundamental component of terrestrial, and marine benthic ecosystems, forming an integral element of food webs, and playing a critical roll in nutrient recycling. Most phyla have meiofaunal repres...
