Major progress has been made in three general areas: - Systematics, diversity and distribution, - Ecology, food webs, and energy flow, - Environmental aspects, including studies of anthropogenic impacts. The meiobenthos of polar and tropical regions, deep-sea bottoms and hydrothermal vents are now studied in more detail.

From the reviews of the second edition: "Giere's scholarly but readable monograph on the meiobenthos will be welcomed by all aquatic benthic ecologists." Nature "Every librarian and every practicing meiobenthologist should have a copy of this book." Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology "Anyone interested in the ecology of aquatic habitats ... will find occasion to rely on this book. ... The collection of references is broad and will be a very useful tool for investigators. This volume can serve ably as a handbook for specialists in the field, as well as a tutorial for individuals new to meiobenthology. It will help define and develop future research on this underappreciated group of organisms ... . Summing Up: Highly Recommended. Advanced academic readers, upper-division undergraduates and above." (S. R. Fegley, Choice, Vol. 46 (9), May, 2009)
