Is nematode colonisation in the presence of Scolelepis in tropical sandy-beach sediment similar to the colonisation process in temperate sandy beaches? A colonização dos sedimentos de praias tropicais por nematódeos na presença de Scolelepis é similar ao processo de colonização que ocorre em praias arenosas temperadas?

The role of a dominant macrobenthic polychaete, Scolelepis squamata, in the colonisation of defaunated tropical sediments by sandy-beach nematodes was investigated and compared with a previous colonisation experiment carried out on a temperate sandy beach. Experimental cylinders, equipped with later...
