The species diversity, quantitative parameters and spatial distribution of the free-living marine nematodes in the meiobenthic community of the coastal zone area near the Snake Island, Black Sea, Ukraine shelf, have been studied for the first time. In total of 47 species from 5 orders, 14 families and 31 genera were registered. The representatives of orders Monhysterida and Enoplida were most abundant. The results of the comparative analysis of nematode assemblage in dependence of the substrate type are described. The percentage of nematodes in total meiobenthos in piers fouling consisted of 16% only, but on silt bottoms it reached 60.8%. The species diversity also increases on silt bottoms. Four nematode species are registered in piers fouling, but 36 on silts. The omnivores-carnivores consisted of 50% of the nematode assemblage in piers fouling. On silts, the percentage of non-selective deposit feeders reached 47%, but epistrate feeders decreased up to 14%.

Diversity patterns of free-living marine nematodes in tropical seagrass beds are understudied. Here, we describe the species richness and assemblage composition of nematodes in 13 seagrass sites covering the whole Cuban archipelago. Nematodes were collected from Thalassia testudinum seagrass beds and identified to species level. We provide a checklist of nematode species from seagrass beds. The species richness of nematode assemblages is high, with 215 species, 138 genus, 35 families, seven orders and two classes. That γ-diversity is higher than other studies and points to seagrass beds as diversity hotspots of free-living marine nematodes. Local species richness in seagrass bed sites is about 57 ± 17 species and broadly similar across the sites, despite the environmental heterogeneity. The geographical distance plays a weak, but significant, role on the decay of similarity likely affected by limited dispersal of nematodes. The pairwise similarity values, related to poor-coloniser nematodes, were twice more affected by the distance than those related to good-colonisers, possibly due to differential success of transport and settlement.
