Length and widt data were collected for 4233 nematode individuals. For each genus, the feeding type was determined (when possible). Samples were taken at depths ranging from 160 m to 1220 m, in two replicates.

These data were collected in the framework of a PhD thesis. The main aim of this study was to get a better insight in the nematode fauna living in the Southern North Sea, with an emphasis on morphological, systematic and ecological aspects.

All nematode data from the North Sea Benthos Survey (NSBS) were compiled in a smaller dataset.

Free-living nematode fauna of lake Grevelingen, the Eastern and Western Scheldt was examined over a period of one year in the framework of a PhD thesis.

Data resulted from a series of microcosm experiments designed to examine the differential response of estuarine nematode assemblages

A quantitative small-scale snap-shot investigation on an intertidal sandflat in Jade Bay (North Sea) was conducted.

Data are the result of a laboratory experiment, designed to investigate the effects of the degree of contamination and the role of burial associated with the deposition of dredged material on meiobenthic nematodes.

Meiofaunal communities from the bathyal ecosystem of the Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean). The dataset contains data on the community structure of nematodes from 7 stations (depth range 153 to 1772 m) which were sampled twice (September 1997 and March 1

The general aim of this dataset was to describe and investigate the biodiversity and zonation patterns of nematodes in relation to several abiotic factors.

Meiobenthic communities along a depth gradient in the Laptev Sea were sampled in order to identify densities and community compositions. Special attention was paid to the present nematode communities.
