Meiofauna is an important, yet neglected, component of biodiversity of Posidonia oceanica

The paper reviews meiofaunal diversity in Posidonia oceanica meadows, identifies key environmental drivers, and highlights the potential for future research on meiofauna in this ecosystem.

Habitat differences filter functional diversity of low dispersive microscopic animals

The paper examines how habitat differences influence functional diversity in marine mite communities across sea-grass meadow habitats, finding that habitat filters traits but has limited impact on species abundance.

Local adaptation fuels cryptic speciation in terrestrial annelids

The paper identifies three cryptic species in earthworms using genomic and morphometric analyses, revealing local adaptation and regulatory divergence as key drivers of cryptic speciation.

Individual differences in locomotor function predict the capacity to reduce asymmetry and modify the energetic cost of walking post-stroke
