Uncharted biodiversity in the marine benthos: the void of the smallish with description of ten new Platyhelminth taxa from the well-studied North Sea - Helgoland Marine Research
Most of our planet’s biodiversity is still unknown, particularly in the sea. Although around the island of Sylt in the North Sea, the small zoobenthos (meiofauna) has been studied intensively since th...

"soft-bodied/proteinaceous meiofauna that live exclusively on hard substrates and are mostly found in deep basinal settings" is a pretty good recipe to have big gaps in their temporal record tbh
it's kind of amazing we have as much record as we do of benthic graptolites.
