• Eukaryotic biodiversity and spatial patterns in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone and other abyssal regions: insights from sediment DNA and RNA metabarcoding 

      Lejzerowicz, Franck; Gooday, Andrew J.; Barrenechea Angeles, Inès; Cordier, Tristan; Morard, Raphael; Apothéloz-Perret-Gentil, Laure; Lins, Lidia; Menot, Lenaick; Brandt, Angelika; Levin, Lisa A.; Martinez Arbizu, Pedro; Smith, Craig R.; Pawlowski, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The abyssal seafloor is a mosaic of highly diverse habitats that represent the least known marine ecosystems on Earth. Some regions enriched in natural resources, such as polymetallic nodules in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone ...
