Factors affecting nematode biomass, length and width from the shelf to the deep sea
- K. Soetaert, M. A. Franco, +5 authors J. Vanaverbeke
- Biology
- 19 October 2009
The decrease of nematode size with water depth is well documented in the literature. However, many nematode size data sets originate from bathymetric gradients, with strong bias towards deep-water,… Expand
Biological and ecological traits of marine species

- 18 August 2015
This paper reviews the utility and availability of biological and ecological traits for marine species so as to prioritise the development of a world database on marine species traits. In addition,… Expand
The impact of seabed disturbance on nematode communities: linking field and laboratory observations
- M. Schratzberger, N. Lampadariou, P. Somerfield, L. Vandepitte, E. Vanden Berghe
- Biology
- 9 January 2009
Physical disturbance is a key factor in controlling the spatial and temporal composition of shallow-water benthic communities. Like shallow waters, deeper waters are increasingly subject to a range… Expand

Recognition of the threats to biodiversity and its importance to society has led to calls for globally coordinated sampling of trends in marine ecosystems. As a step to defining such efforts, we… Expand
A field colonization experiment with meiofauna and seagrass mimics: effect of time, distance and leaf surface area
- M. De Troch, L. Vandepitte, M. Raes, E. Suárez-Morales, M. Vincx
- Biology
- 4 August 2005
From a conservation point of view, it is essential to know how fast an ecosystem can recover after physical disturbance. Meiofauna and especially harpacticoid copepods are abundant in seagrass beds… Expand
