“…Whole-mounted specimens were examined using an Olympus DP70 camera mounted on a light microscope equipped with differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC). We followed André (1946), Green and MacQuitty (1987), and specific taxonomic literature (Bartsch, 1986(Bartsch, , 2001(Bartsch, , 2006Morselli, 1980) for species identification. Adult and juvenile specimens were distinguished following Bartsch (2015).…”

“…These drivers not only act at different spatial scales, but also vary through time. Indeed, the same drivers seem to affect the structure of meiofaunal assemblages in other seagrass ecosystems (mainly copepods and nematodes; see Bell et al, 1984;Decho et al, 1985;Hicks, 1989;De Troch et al, 2003, 2001, 2006, 2005. At a regional scale, shore hydrodynamics exert a relatively homogeneous physical pressure on the entire ecosystem formed by P. oceanica (Vacchi et al, 2017).…”

The ecosystem formed by the marine flowering plant Posidonia oceanica is a biodiversity reservoir and provides many ecosystem services in coastal Mediterranean regions. Marine meiofauna is also a major component of that biodiversity, and its study can be useful in addressing both theoretical and applied questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation. We review the meiofaunal diversity in the meadow ecosystem of P. oceanica by combining a literature review and a case study. First, we gathered records of 672 species from 71 published studies, as well as unpublished sources, highlighting 4 species exclusive to this ecosystem. Eighteen of those studies quantified the spatial and temporal changes in species composition, highlighting habitat‐specific assemblages that fluctuate following the annual changes experienced by these meadows. Hydrodynamics, habitat complexity, and food availability, all three inherently linked to the seagrass phenology, are recognized in the literature as the main factors shaping the complex distribution patterns of meiofauna in the meadows. These drivers have been identified mainly in studies of Copepoda and Nematoda, and their effect may depend ultimately on species‐specific preferences. Second, we tested the generality of these observations using marine mites as a model group, showing that similar ecological preferences might be found in other less abundant meiofaunal groups. Overall, our study highlights the high diversity of meiofauna in meadows of P. oceanica compared with algae and sessile macrofauna associated with this seagrass and shows the complexity of the interactions and habitat use by meiofauna associated with the seagrass.

Posidonia oceanica meadows are biodiversity reservoirs and provide many ecosystem services in coastal Mediterranean regions. Marine meiofauna, on the other hand, not only represents a major component of regional marine biodiversity, but also a useful tool to address both theoretical and applied questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation. We review the meiofaunal diversity in the P. oceanica ecosystem combining a literature review and a case study. First, we gathered records of 664 species from 69 published studies as well as unpublished sources, including few species exclusive from this ecosystem. Eighteen of those studies quantified the spatial and temporal changes of species composition, highlighting habitat-specific assemblages that fluctuate following the annual changes experienced by P. oceanica. Hydrodynamics, habitat complexity, and food availability, all three inherently linked to the seagrass phenology, are recognised as the main factors at shaping the complex distribution patterns of meiofauna in the meadows. These drivers have been identified mainly from Copepoda and Nematoda, and depend ultimately on species-specific preferences. Second, we tested the generality of these observations using marine mites as a model group, showing that the same processes might be in place also for other less abundant meiofaunal groups. Overall, our study highlights an outstanding diversity of meiofauna in P. oceanica and shows its potential for future research, not only focused on exploring and describing new species of neglected meiofaunal organisms, but also providing a more complete understanding on the functioning of the iconic Mediterranean ecosystem created by P. oceanica.

ÖzetDeniz halacaridlerinden Halacaropsis (Bartsch, 1996) cinsi, Akdeniz, Güney Afrika, Kuzey Atlantik ve Avusturalya'dan olmak üzere 5 tür ile temsil edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Halacaropsis hirsuta (Trouessart, 1889) türü, Marmara Denizi'nin kuzey kayalık kıyılarında, 3-4 m.'de bulunan Ulva lactuca (Linnaeus, 1753) algleri arasından toplanmıştır. Bu tür aynı zamanda, Halacaropsis cinsininde Türkiye'den ilk kaydıdır.Anahtar kelimeler: Halacaropsis hirsuta, Acari, yeni kayıt, Ulva lactuca, Marmara Denizi Halacaropsis hirsuta (Acari: Halacaridae): First Record for the Turkish Fauna AbstractThe marine halacarid mite genus Halacaropsis (Bartsch, 1996) currently represented five species from the Mediterranean, southern Africa, northern Atlantic, and Australia. A new record, Halacaropsis hirsuta (Trouessart, 1889) was collected among Ulva lactuca (Linnaeus, 1753) algae (3-4 m depth off) from the rocky shores of northern coast of Marmara Sea. This is the first record of the genus Halacaropsis from Turkey.
