Metacommunity theory and metabarcoding reveal the environmental, spatial, and biotic drivers of meiofaunal communities in sandy beaches

2024-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Sandy beaches are important ecosystems providing coastal protection and recreation, but they face significant threats from human activities and sea level rise. They are inhabited by meiofauna, small benthic invertebrates that are highly abundant and diverse, but are commonly understudied biotic components of beach ecosystems. Here, we investigate the factors shaping meiofaunal metacommunities by employing Generali...
