Radiolarian tests as microhabitats for novel benthic foraminifera: observations from the abyssal eastern equatorial Pacific (Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone)

We investigated benthic foraminifera inhabiting the empty tests of radiolarians in surface sediment samples from the abyssal Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (13°50'N, 116°35'W; ~4080 m water depth), eastern equatorial Pacific, an area licensed for the future mining of polymetallic nodules...
