- The spatiotemporal variations of marine nematode populations may serve as indicators of changes in marine ecosystems. Lin, Hsuan-Tung Yang, Jiue-In Wu, Yu-Ting Shiau, Yo-Jin Lo, Li Yang, Shan-Hua Animals Nematoda Ecosystem Coral Reefs Biodiversity Environmental Monitoring Climate Change Geologic Sediments Hydrothermal Vents Microbiota The volcanic island, Kueishan Island, harbors two unique shallow-water ecosystems: hydrothermal vents and coral communities. The unique geologic features render the island an ideal place as a spectrum for studying two different ecosystems and mimicking the impacts of climate change on coral reef biota in the future. However, little is known about the meiofauna community there. Hence, we investigated the diversity and composition of free-living marine nematodes over two years by collecting individuals from sediments sampled across a gradient of habitats, including hydrothermal vents, buffering sites, and coral reefs. During the first year, we also monitored abiotic factors, such as sediment and water properties, along with biotic factors, including bacterial diversity assessed through amplicon sequencing, to evaluate their influence on the nematode community. Our findings revealed markedly low nematode abundance and diversity at sulfide-rich vent sites (abundance
