Sample size effects on the assessment of eukaryotic diversity and community structure in aquatic sediments using high-throughput sequencing

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Francisco J. A. Nascimento from the Sample collectionSilt muddy sediment was collected with five handheld Perspex sediment cores taken approximately, cm from each other from a depth of , m at a temperature of , °C and salinity of , psu in the Stockholm archipelago (58°50′N, °32′E) in the northern Baltic Sea, Sweden. The handheld sampling units were , mm diameter with a surface area of , cm2, a size which has been found to be appropriate for sampling of microbial benthic metazoans such as meiofauna59. After collection, the sediment cores were transported to Stockholm University and placed . . .
