| Abstract |
In a survey of 17 eulittoral and sublittoral sampling stations from the marine sands of the Bermuda Islands, 45 interstitial ciliate species were identified. Descriptions of their morphologies are presented together with their mesopsammal distributions. One new species, Euplotidium helgae , is described. A high conformity with the interstitial ciliate fauna of the east coast of the American continent is found and discussed in relation to the geographical position of Bermuda. An ecological characterization of the eulittoral and sublittoral sampling stations is attempted with particular reference to the instability of the sediment and the input of detrital materials from plants and animal remains (an energy source within a decomposer food chain). |
