Broman, Bonaglia et al. report a large-scale study of the micrometazoan community in the oxygen-poor, sulfidic Baltic Sea dead zone that is the largest in the world. They find that animals including nematodes and zooplankton are adapted to survive in this sediment, suggesting dead zones may be important biological resources upon recovery.
