Meiofauna: Biodiversity, Ecology, and Role in Ecosystems - MDPI
网页2023年9月1日 · The meiofauna is currently considered to be a group of microscopic metazoans ranging in size from 30 to 1000–2000 μm, forming a distinct size class [1,2]. Several taxa of high taxonomic rank are represented exclusively or almost exclusively by meiobenthos organisms of marine areas and freshwater reservoirs.
