The Contribution of Fine Sieve Fractions (63–150 μm) to Foraminiferal Abundance and Diversity in an Area of the Eastern Pacific Ocean Licensed for Polymetallic Nodule Exploration
The sieve mesh sizes used in benthic foraminiferal studies exert a strong influence on faunal densities and composition. We examined the consequences of including finer (63–150 μm) size classes in a study of Rose Bengal stained (‘live’) and dead foraminifera in 5 Megacorer samples (0–1 cm layer) fro...
