Revealing higher than expected meiofaunal diversity in Antarctic sediments: a metabarcoding approach
Abstract An increasing number of studies are showing that Antarctic mega- and macrofauna are highly diverse, however, little is known about meiofaunal biodiversity in sediment communities, which are a vital part of a healthy and functional ecosystem. This is the first study to analyse community DNA...
