Description
The dataset is the result of the integration of more than 83 smaller datasets, with information on meiobenthos in general and nematodes and copepods more specifically. This dataset has been compiled under the MarBEF European Network of Excellence. more
This dataset contains information on meiobenthos in general and nematodes and copepods more specifically. There is also a lot of information available on environmental variables, on feeding types of nematodes and biometric data. All these data will be analysed together, in order to reveal any ecological and latitudinal aspects in the biodiversity of meiobenthic diversity in general and nematode biodiversity more specific. This comprehensive dataset will also serve as the basis for future updates of the European Register of Marine Species (ERMS). By adding ecological and geographical information, a first large-scale analysis of the nematode communities in European marine waters can be performed, aimed at
