Global observing needs in the deep ocean
The deep ocean below 200 m water depth is the least observed, but largest habitat on our
planet by volume and area. Over 150 years of exploration has revealed that this dynamic …

Benthic foraminiferal DNA metabarcodes significantly vary along a gradient from abyssal to hadal depths and between each side of the Kuril-Kamchatka trench
Foraminiferal assemblages are a ubiquitous and abundant component of the deep-sea
benthos, even in the deepest ocean trenches. While their distribution seems not constrained …

Macrofauna-sized foraminifera in epibenthic sledge samples from five areas in the eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone (equatorial Pacific)
AJ Gooday, B Wawrzyniak-Wydrowska - Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Benthic foraminifera cannot be sampled adequately using a single device. Smaller taxa are
best collected using multicorers, the larger with box corers, but towed devices (dredges …
