Meiofaunal community responses to anthropogenic disturbance in Heraklion harbour (Crete, Greece, Eastern Med.). The dataset contains data on the community structure of nematodes and copepods at seventeen stations in relation with environmental variables

Experimental data - sediment from Fal estuary (field-contaminated with heavy metals) seeded with meiofauna from Lynher estuary in microcosms

This dataset arises from probably the first study on the effects of TBT on meiobenthic communities. Microcosm experiments were conducted where meiobenthos is concentrated in TBT contaminated and uncontaminated sediments.

This dataset is the result of a laboratory experiment to determine the response of benthic nematode communities to different pollutants in various doses and in two sediment types. The Lynher estuary is characterised by muddy sediments, whereas the Exe estuary is sandy.

Experimental data - nematode data from microcosms dosed with three levels of contaminants (Cu, Zn, Cd,Pb) plus controls and initial field samples.

These data were collected as part of a large study, aiming to compare the structure of the nematode communities at two comparable sublittoral sites, located in the Southern Baltic and the south-eastern part of the North Sea.

This dataset was compiled to describe the intertidal meiobenthic community of Kongsfjorden and to better understand the relationship between the horizontal and vertical distribution of meiofauna with a special focus on nematodes and environmental features

Nematodes were collected using four different collection methods at two sites with contrasting sediment types. The aim was to assess differences between samplers by looking at the variation in nematode community structure.

This dataset is the result of a laboratory experiment to determine the response of benthic nematode communities to different pollutants in various doses and in two sediment types. The Lynher estuary is characterised by muddy sediments, whereas the Exe estuary is sandy.
