Antifouling paint particles (APP) are generated during the maintenance of boats and are
shed from abandoned structures and grounded ships. Although they afford a highly visible …

With respect to their high abundances, their role as intermediaries between microorganisms
and higher trophic levels, and their ubiquitous occurrence in all habitats, nematodes are of …

Meiobenthology is the science of the tiny animals that live in huge numbers in all aquatic
sediments. This fully revised and enlarged second edition emphasizes new discoveries and …

Leaching of Cu and Zn from a composite of spent antifouling paint particles, containing
about 300mgg− 1 and 110mgg− 1 of the respective metals, was studied in batch …

Intertidal nematode assemblages along three beaches with different types of anthropogenic
activity were collected in the northern part of the Persian Gulf, near Bandar Abbas (Iran) …

Humans have used, and had effects on, marine ecosystems throughout history. As the
human population and its economic activities increase, these effects intensify. Yet, our …

This paper reviews the current knowledge on endocrine disruption in nematodes. These
organisms have received little attention in the field of ecotoxicology, in spite of their …

A small-scale laboratory study was conducted to assess the capability of nematode species
collected at an intertidal mudflat to migrate laterally into defaunated sediment by using an …

An on-board experiment was performed during a research cruise to investigate the ability of
deep-sea nematode species to actively colonise defaunated sediments. Small cylinders of …

An alternative approach to notice changes of the nematode community structure was
evaluated in five study cases in the Mediterranean Sea. In detail, we suggested a …
