Seasonality and vertical distribution of epiphytic diatoms on the pneumatophore surface of mangrove Avicennia officinalis L.
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)
Mangrove pneumatophores (respiratory roots) form a unique habitat about which very little ecological information is available. In this study, epiphytic diatoms on the pneumatophore surface of Avicennia officinalis (L.) ...
Meiofauna-mangrove interaction: A pilot study from a tropical mangrove habitat
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2013)
We studied meiofauna in the sediments and on the surface of roots of four mangrove vegetation types in Chorao island, Goa, Central West coast of India. A total of 14 taxa were recorded from the mangrove roots while 12 taxa ...
A new species of Eutrachytes (Acari: Uropodina: Eutrachytidae) associated with the indian mangrove (Avicennia officinalis)
(Acarologia, 2016)
A new species of Eutrachytes (Eutrachytes flagellatus) is described based on a complete ontogenetic series, starting from larva and including the adult female and male. This Uropodina mite was isolated from the pneumatophore ...
Epibiotic communities (microalgae and meiofauna) on the pneumatophores of Avicennia officinalis (L.)
(Elsevier, 2018)
In a mangrove environment, several groups of organisms are symbiotically associated with pneumatophores (aerial roots). But whether these organisms are exclusively found in this habitat (uniqueness) or accidentally settled ...
Defaunation of meiofauna in Mumbai bay (India) - A severely polluted area
(Elsevier, 2017)
Meiofauna plays an important role in the benthic food web of shallow water ecosystems. In the present study, the status of meiofauna was addressed in the intertidal and subtidal environment of Mumbai bay (West coast of ...

The antibacterial activity of leaf extract of mangroves, namely, Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia alba and Exoecaria agallocha from Chorao island, Goa was investigated against human bacterial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, ...
Effect of oil spillage on ecological diversity of pneumatophore associated fauna and flora in central west coast of india
(Academy of Environmental Biology, 2012)
Pneumatophores of Avicennia alba is rich in flora (diatoms) and faunal (meiofauna) diversity from the sedimentary environment Flora and faunal composition from two sites: One polluted (Dighodi) and other non-polluted (Goa) ...
