Giant, highly diverse protists in the abyssal Pacific: vulnerability to impacts from seabed mining and potential for recovery
Xenophyophores, giant deep-sea agglutinated foraminifera, dominate the benthic megafauna in the eastern equatorial Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone. This abyssal (>4000 m depth) region hosts major deposits of polymetallic nodules targeted for future seabed mining, an activity that would destroy th...
