Small-scale spatial variation of meiofaunal communities in Lima estuary (NW Portugal) assessed through metabarcoding

Meiofaunal organisms play a key role in estuarine ecosystems, being responsible for significant ecological processes. However, meiofauna constitutes a particularly difficult community to be monitored through conventional morphology-based approaches. New emerging tools, such as DNA metabarcoding, fac...
