Hola amigos,
I've been working in Chile studying the effects of copper mine tailings
dumping on intertidal meiofauna. Saccocirrus, species yet to be confirmed,
is a common member of the meiofaunal communities on these coarse exposed
beaches and is found on both impacted and nonimpacted beaches. It may be
my imagination but the specimens from the impacted beach appear to me to
be more robust and significantly greener. I'm doing a PhD through the
University of Wales, Bangor and I will be returning to Chile to continue
my research in August. I was wondering if anyone else has experience of
interstitial polychaetes and metals, particularly copper and zinc?
Regards
Matthew R Lee
