Abstract: In Brazil, meiofauna studies began in the middle of last century, but they adopted a purely taxonomical approach, describing species from various zoological groups. After this first step, this benthic group was largely neglected until the end of the 20th century when ecological studies began. We here provide a brief review of present knowledge of the meiofauna found on Brazilian sandy beaches to provide information for ReBentos (Coastal Benthic Habitats Monitoring Network). Our methodology consisted of a bibli… Show more

“…No Brasil, a meiofauna é estudada desde a metade do século XX, a partir de pesquisas que inicialmente focalizavam na taxonomia das espécies de diferentes grupos zoológicos. Nos últimos 20 anos, as pesquisas nesta área têm se intensificado no país (MARIA, WANDENESS;ESTEVES, 2016).…”

“…Além disso, o estudo da meiofauna se apresenta como um bom indicador para os estudos sobre mudanças climáticas e impactos antropogênicos. No qual, mudanças globais podem gerar efeitos negativos, principalmente para a cadeia alimentar bentônica; e podem favorecer algumas espécies meiofau-nísticas, uma vez que podem exibir notáveis adaptações fisiológicas (GIERE, 2009;MARIA;WANDENESS;ESTEVES,2016). Veras (2017) reitera que os ciclos de vida de pequena duração dos seres da meiofauna, que vão de 1 a 3 meses, facilitam nas observações em estudos de curto prazo.…”

“…In fact, amphipods are one of the most common prey items of many benthic-feeding fishes (Wakabara et al 1982). They are a diverse and abundant group of peracaridean crustaceans that inhabit a variety of benthic substrata (Thomas 1993), and their density and geographic distribution are highly influenced by hydrodynamic conditions (Rodrigues et al 2012, Maria et al 2016.…”

“…Knowledge on the morphodynamic state of a beach as well as its spatial and temporal variations is important to integrated management strategies in coastal regions and the solution of environmental problems, especially those related to sandy beaches (Maria, 2016). Such knowledge enables estimating levels of risk that can be used for accident prevention programs directed at beach goers (Short and Hogan, 1994).…”
