We assessed spatio-temporal patterns of diversity in deep-sea sediment communities using metabarcoding. We chose a recently developed eukaryotic marker based on the v7 region of the 18S rRNA gene. Our

The deep sea comprises more than 90% of the ocean; therefore, understanding the controlling factors of biodiversity in the deep sea is of great importance for predicting future changes in the function
Data were collected to investigate if the nematode fauna varies with bathymetry and if nematodes from the South Sandwich Trench differ from other trenches and from other deep-water areas elsewhere in
