Meiofauna as descriptor of tourism-induced changes at sandy beaches.
Tourism has long been considered as a 'clean industry' with almost no negative effects on the environment. This study demonstrated, in two different coastal systems (Mediterranean and Baltic), that tourism related activities are particularly affecting the sandy beach meio- and nematofauna in the upper beach zone, the specific ecotone in which many meiofauna species from both the marine and the ...

متن کاملVertical distribution of meiofauna on reflective sandy beaches
Extreme physical conditions usually limit the meiofauna occurrence and distribution in highly hydrodynamic environments such as reflective beaches. Despite sediment grains of the upper layers being constantly resuspended and deposited, the high energy of the swash zone besides depositing coarse sediments allows an ample vertical distribution of meiofaunal organisms. The effect of physical, chem...
متن کاملPseudobranchiomysis arenae, a new genus and species of Leptomysinae (Crustacea: Mysida) in Argentinian sandy beaches.
A new genus of Leptomysinae Hansen, 1910, constituting a new type species for science, is described: Pseudobranchiomysis arenae. This new mysid is characterized by a combination of the following characters: antennal scale lanceolate and setose all around with a pointed apex, telson with apical cleft armed with many fine spines on the convex margins, and well-developed pseudobranchial lobes in m...
متن کاملDisentangling Diversity Patterns in Sandy Beaches along Environmental Gradients
Species richness in sandy beaches is strongly affected by concurrent variations in morphodynamics and salinity. However, as in other ecosystems, different groups of species may exhibit contrasting patterns in response to these environmental variables, which would be obscured if only aggregate richness is considered. Deconstructing biodiversity, i.e. considering richness patterns separately for ...
