To better understand whether the shape of the body and the appendages involved in the movement is correlated to sediment composition in meiofaunal organisms, the evolved morphological adaptations to environment in selected taxa of the phylum Kinorhyncha is studed (Dracoderidae, Pycnophyidae, Echinoderes).
