These data give - for the first time - an overview of the meiofauna that inhabits the slope and the abyssal plains in Antarctic waters to a depth of 5 200 m.

This experimental research in glacial Kongsfjorden (Spitzbergen) investigates the long term colonisation capacities of Arctic soft bottom meiofauna.

A quantitative small-scale snap-shot investigation on an intertidal sandflat in Jade Bay (North Sea) was conducted.

The primary objective for developing a CeDAMar database is to generate a map of biological abyssal sampling stations in the World Ocean. These data represent the European coverage.

The main question in this research was how Harpacticoid copepod communities differ in species composition and diversity on a north to south gradient in the Western Baltic area and what factors might explain these differences

This datasets contributes to a better understanding of diversity in small peracarid crustacean and their possible distribution patterns in remote deep-sea regions. It contains specimen ocurrence records of the taxon Cumacea sampled with diverse benthic gears (epibenthic sledges, box corer) on the Yermak Plateau north of Svalbard during the PASCAL project with RV Polarstern in 2017 and during the IceAGE expedition IceAGE1 in 2011 in deep sea regions of the Nordic GIN-Seas (Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Sea).

The North Atlantic and Arctic Isopoda dataset contains three parts: 1. Distribution records collected from literature; 2. Distribution records of specimens collected by the BIOICE project (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic waters 1992-2004); 3. Distribution records of specimens collected by the IceAGE project (Icelandic marine animals: Genetics and Ecology, since 2011). This dataset contains distribution data regarding the 2nd group, isopods occurrences sampled during the BIOICE project
