Distribution Patterns of Benthic Protist Communities Depending on Depth Revealed by Environmental Sequencing—From the Sublittoral to the Deep Sea
Protists are key components of the microbial food web in marine pelagic systems because they link algal and bacterial production to higher trophic levels. However, their functioning and bathymetric distribution in benthic deep-sea ecosystems are still only poorly understood. However, biogeographical...
