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 developments in this
field. Major progress has been made in three general areas: -
Systematics, diversity and distribution, - Ecology, food webs, and
energy flow, - Environmental aspects, including studies of
anthropogenic impacts. The meiobenthos of polar and tropical
regions, deep-sea bottoms and hydrothermal vents are now studied in
more detail. The high number of species found to survive under such
extreme conditions puts them at the forefront of biodiversity
studies. Molecular screening methods enable large numbers to be
analyzed upon applying reasonable effort. The aim of this book is
to synthesize these modern scientific achievements such that
meiobenthology can play a key role in aquatic research and in
assessing the health of our environment.
