Free-living marine nematodes actively choose habitat when descending from the water column (2003, background): “It also seems that the process in intertidal areas is mostly dominated by passive movement of nematodes, as species compositions in the water column and the bottom have been noted to be very similar (Bell & Sherman 1980, Commito & Tita 2002).”
Responses of intertidal nematodes to short-term anoxic events (2007, background): “These three species are surfacedwellers, typically found in intertidal or subtidal mud and sands (e.g. Vincx, 1987; Platt and Warwick, 1988; Warwick et al., 1998; Schratzberger et al., 2000a, 2002; Commito and Tita, 2002; Steyaert et al., 2005).”
Colonisation of various types of sediment by estuarine nematodes via lateral infaunal migration: a laboratory study (2004, background): “A number of short-term experiments using sediment traps have shown that taxa that behaviourally occupy the sediment surface, such as harpacticoid copepods, are suspended more frequently than the deeper burrowing nematodes (Hagerman and Rieger 1981; Fegley 1987; Kern 1990; Commito and Tita 2002 ).”
