The species-area relationship (SAR) is a well-established, globally recognized ecological pattern, and research on SAR has expanded to include the phylogenetic diversity-area relationship (PDAR). However, this research has generally been limited to terre...

The abyssal Pacific Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) hosts vast, commercially valuable seafloor deposits of polymetallic nodules. Foraminifera (testate protists) dominate benthic communities in this region. Here, we present a taxonomic survey, combining mor...

The geomorphology of the deep-sea environment is complex, including seamounts based on hard rocks and seabeds based on rare soft sediments. Therefore, the frame of the benthic lander needs to be shock and subsidence resistant. In this paper, the static m...
