Deep‐sea meiofaunal communities in the south‐eastern Levantine basin and their shaping factors – Morphological‐taxonomy‐free metabarcoding approach
Abstract The <3% dissimilar Amplicon Sequence Variant (ASV) clusters of the 18S‐V4 barcode were used as species‐proxies for the evaluation of ASV composition and ASV diversity indices characterizing the hitherto poorly investigated meiofaunal communities of the south‐eastern part of the Levantine...
