How can this negligence be overcome? The present treatise highlights promising meiofauna research fields, selected both from basic and applied science, as well as new methods that could strengthen the potential of meiobenthology. Selected recent meiofauna studies, often supported by rapidly advancing gene-based methods, underline the relevance and potential of meiobenthology revealing characteristics and harassments of ecosystems, not the least in extreme habitats. Also in the more classical domains such as taxonomy and phylogeny, progress in meiobenthos research defines a new and deeper scientific understanding.SpringerBriefs in Biology,2192-2179EcosystemsAquatic ecology BiodiversityApplied ecologyMarine sciencesFreshwaterEcosystemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904XFreshwater & Marine Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066Biodiversityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031Applied Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023Marine & Freshwater Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U36000Ecosystems.Aquatic ecology .Biodiversity.Applied ecology.Marine sciences.Freshwater.Ecosystems.Freshwater & Marine Ecology.Biodiversity.Applied Ecology.Marine & Freshwater Sciences.592.092578.777Giere Olavauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut632420BOOK9910337949403321Perspectives in Meiobenthology2287871UNINA
