摘要: Sediments of three different subtidal areas (15-705 m depth) the Italian coasts (Manfredonia, Brindisi and Gallipoli) were investigated to study meiofauna nematode composition. The nematodes identified genus level their abundances compared using multivariate analysis. Our data showed an evident depth gradient in abundance: shallowest sites had more diverse abundant meiobenthic communities than deeper ones. Nematodes dominant taxon (83-100%) at all sites, followed by Copepoda (0.5-8%). Sabatieria, Astomonema, Dorylaimopsis, Terschellingia Daptonema among genera areas. Nematode H’ diversities not significantly dissimilar, though community some differences detected greatest observed comparison from Manfredonia Gallipoli. Furthermore, there was a difference between shallow (<200 m) deep due high differential common genera, i.e. Sabatieria .
