MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Sampler bias in the quantitative study of deep-sea meiobenthos *

ABSTRACT: The influence of sampler type on quantitative estimates of deep-sea meiobenthos is examined by a n indirect statistical comparison of box corer and multiple corer samples collected throughout the northeast Atlantic, and by a direct comparison of contemporaneously collected multiple corer a...
