“…This is consistent with previous studies on the distribution of free-living nematodes living in macroalgae that found common nematode species on different types of macroalgae, although the dominant species on each alga seemed to vary (Wieser, 1959; Heip et al ., 1985; Da Rocha et al ., 2006; De Oliveira et al ., 2016). The density and size of nematodes have been correlated with the morphological shape of macroalgae and the amount of detritus trapped (Heip et al ., 1985; De Oliveira et al ., 2016); similarly, we found more nematodes and a higher diversity in samples with the most sediment and algal material. In foliaceous algae from exposed coasts, small Chromadoridae were dominant, representing ~70% of total abundance (Da Rocha et al ., 2006).…”

“…Macroalgae are important providers of habitat for marine macrofaunal (Bracken et al ., 2007; Liuzzi & López Gappa, 2011) and meiofaunal invertebrates (Bell & Coen, 1982; Da Rocha et al ., 2006). Turf-forming algae that trap sediments can be particularly important for both macrofauna (Huff & Jarett, 2007) and meiofauna (De Oliveira et al ., 2016). Most studies on nematodes living in macroalgae have investigated the relationship between nematode assemblages and macroalgal morphological complexity (Gestoso et al ., 2010; De Oliveira et al ., 2016; Veiga et al ., 2016).…”

“…High epibiont diversity for loggerheads has been recorded in other studies (e.g., [22]). For example, dos Santos et al [3] compared nematode genera richness between hawksbill turtles and non-sedimentary natural and artificial substrates, demonstrating that turtle carapaces are hotspots of meiofauna and nematode biodiversity (Table S3; [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]). However, it is worth noting the foraging differences between hawksbill and loggerhead sea turtles.…”

“…In the presence of high inputs of organic matter, their abundance increases, helping to regulate this resource. They are also a source of high-quality food for other animals [8][9][10][11]. Currently, about 20,000 nematode species-of which 6500 are marine benthic (= meiofaunal)-have been formally described [12,13], with estimates ranging between 0.1 and 100 million species [14].…”
