Patterns of spatial and temporal variation in estuarine meiofaunal communities assessed through DNA metabarcoding: a case study in the Lima estuary (NW Portugal)

Meiobenthic organisms are key components of estuarine environments, providing invaluable functions and services. In particular, meiofaunal organisms participate actively in nutrient cycles and energy flux, supporting higher trophic levels, as well as the stabilization of sediments. Due to their smal...
