Two new Caymanostella species discovered at deep-sea wood falls in the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone

In an era where human activities increasingly impact the deep sea and, with future ventures such as deep-sea mining on the horizon, describing deep-sea biodiversity is vital for conservation, sustainable resource management, understanding global ecological processes, and informing policy decisions. Polymetallic nodule fields, in particular, have been proven to be reservoirs of previously undiscovered biodiversity. As part of ongoing efforts to u…
