Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins
TLDR
The structural attributes and biotic effects of the habitats that corals, sea pens, sponges and xenophyophores offer other organisms and the biotic structures they create to habitat heterogeneity and diversity on the deep continental margins are highlighted.

Meiobenthos at the Arctic Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano, with a parental-caring nematode thriving in sulphide-rich sediments
Hakon Mosby Mud Volcano (HMMV, SW Barents Sea slope, 1280 m) is one of the numerous cold methane-venting seeps existing along the continental margins. Analyses of video- guided core samples revealed…

Threatened by mining, polymetallic nodules are required to preserve abyssal epifauna
TLDR
Surveys conducted along tracks from trawling or experimental mining simulations up to 37 years old suggest that the removal of epifauna is almost complete and that its full recovery is slow, highlighting the importance of nodules for the epifaunal biodiversity of this abyssal area.

First insights into the biodiversity and biogeography of the Southern Ocean deep sea
TLDR
New data from recent sampling expeditions in the deep Weddell Sea and adjacent areas reveal high levels of new biodiversity, challenging suggestions that deep-sea diversity is depressed in the Southern Ocean and providing a basis for exploring the evolutionary significance of the varied biogeographic patterns observed in this remote environment.

Host-specificity among abundant and rare taxa in the sponge microbiome
TLDR
This study conducted a comparison of sponge bacterial communities in seven closely related Hexadella species with a well-resolved host phylogeny, as well as of a distantly related sponge Mycale, and observed a striking diversity of microbes associated with the sponges, spanning 47 bacterial phyla.
