On <i>Dracograllus miguelitus</i> sp. nov. (Nematoda: Draconematidae) from an inactive structure: insights into its taxonomy, biodiversity and ecology at hydrothermal vents
This discovery contributes to the knowledge of Draconematidae biodiversity, and highlights the importance to investigate nematode communities at species-level, data that is often missing at vent studies. Additionally, it underscores the significance of preserving inactive hydrothermal habitats, which are threatened by deep-sea mining activities.
