Spatial and temporal variations in deep-sea meiofauna assemblages in the Marginal Ice Zone of the Arctic Ocean (2007, background): “The strong correlation of meiobenthos densities with bacterial activity (FDA), for each year and over all years, supports the assumed importance of bacteria as primary food source for the deep-sea metazoan meiofauna (Vanreusel et al., 1995; Galéron et al., 2001; Iken et al., 2001).”
Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem (2010, background): “For macrofauna in general, polychaetes are dominant in terms of densities, followed by small crustaceans and gastropods (Cosson et al., 1997; Galéron et al., 2001).”
Diversity of peracarid crustaceans (Malacostraca) from the abyssal plain of the Angola Basin (2005, background): “The general composition of the macrofauna in the EBS samples with dominant taxa like polychaetes, peracarids, copepods and bivalves is similar to other deep-sea areas of comparable depths (e.g., Galeron et al. 2001).”
