Free-living marine nematodes actively choose habitat when descending from the water column (2003, background): “The often patchy distribution of food resources in soft bottoms is thought to cause an aggregated distribution of nematodes at various scales (Gerlach 1977, Lee et al. 1977, Ólafsson 1992, Ansari & Gauns 1996, Fabiano & Danovaro 1999, Neira et al. 2001).”
Habitat heterogeneity and its influence on benthic biodiversity in oxygen minimum zones (2010, background): “This probably reflects the higher surface area to volume ratio of small benthic animals (Veit-Köhler et al. 2009), aided in some nematodes by the development of long spines and setae (Neira et al. 2001a, 2005; Neira & Decraemer 2009).”
Benthic processes on the Peru margin: a transect across the oxygen minimum zone during the 1997–98 El Niño (2002, background): “8), suggests that oxygen limitation may control meiofauna composition at higher taxonomic levels within the OMZ (Station A, 305 m) (Neira et al., 2001a).”
ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES ON REGIONAL DEEP-SEA SPECIES DIVERSITY (2001, background): “Metazoan meiofauna of the eastern Pacific OMZ exhibit loss of harpacticoid copepods, and dominance by nematodes (Levin et al. 1991, Neira et al. 2001), but diversities have not been recorded.”
