Abstract
It is suggested that the depth as an environmental variable does not directly affect the size of meiobenthic organisms but marks and modifies the effects of the other factors such as trophic conditions and sediment properties. Clear depth-related patterns are observed because many of these key factors turn out to be depth-correlated, but disappear if the factor is uncorrelated.
