Description 709-713
Biodiversity in deep-sea
environments is very high but often under-estimated to a large extent due to
paucity in sampling and taxonomic intractability of certain faunal groups. In
deep-sea benthic environments, two faunal groups namely Foraminifera and
Nematoda often dominate in their abundance and contribute to major ecosystem
processes. However, information at the species level and biogeographic patterns
of these two major benthic faunal groups are largely unknown with some
scattered studies undertaken so far based on the application of molecular
techniques. This review highlights how application of molecular techniques,
including next generation sequencing (NGS) methodologies have improved our understanding
of biodiversity patterns of two major groups, namely Foraminifera and Nematoda
from deep-sea benthic

habitats.
