What is Deep-Sea Benthic Size Miniaturization about?
This study investigates the benthic body size miniaturization hypothesis in deep-sea environments by comparing communities at two sites: the Fladen Ground (150 m) and the Faroe-Shetland Channel (1600 m). Results indicate a significant shift towards smaller body sizes in the deeper site, with median metazoan body size decreasing from 14.3 mg to 3.8 mg wet weight. The findings suggest that deep-sea habitats are predominantly occupied by smaller organisms, although the study acknowledges limitations in average
