Depth and sediment granulometry effects on subtidal meiofaunal assemblages of the subtropical coast of Granada (Alboran Sea)

Hypotheses about relationships of meiofaunal assemblages to depth and sediment granulometry were tested. Samples were taken at 3 and 15 metres depth, in sediments classified according to grain size as ‘coarse’, ‘medium’ and ‘fine’. The meiofaunal community was analysed at a high taxonomic level. The...

Samples were taken at 3 and 15 metres depth, in sediments classified according to grain size as ‘coarse’, ‘medium’ and ‘fine’. The meiofaunal community was analysed at a high taxonomic level. The most representative taxa were Nematoda, Copepoda, Polychaeta, Gastrotrichia, Ostracoda, Turbellaria, and nauplius larvae. At three metres depth diversity was lesser than at the deeper site. Moreover, multivariate analyses showed differences in meiofaunal assemblages according to depth. No significant differences related to the granulometry of the sediment were detected.Se estudiaron las diferencias en la comunidad de meiofauna en relación a la profundidad y la granulometría del sedimento. Las muestras se tomaron a 3 y 5 metros de profundidad en sedimentos clasificados como ‘grueso’, ‘medio’ y ‘fino’. La comunidad de la meiofauna fue analizada a niveles taxonómicos superiores. Los taxones más representativos fueron Nematodos, Copépodos, Poliquetos, Gastrotricos, Ostrácodos, Turbelarios y larvas nauplios. A tres metros de profundidad la diversidad fue menor que en el punto de muestreo situado a mayor profundidad. Además, los análisis multivariantes mostraron diferencias en la comunidad de la meiofauna respecto a la profundidad. No se detectaron diferencias significativas relacionadas con la granulometría del sedimento.Universidad de Sevilla FIUS PRJ201201607Universidad de GranadaZoologíaUniversidad de Sevilla2014info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/11441/45084reponame:idUS.
