Interesting note about the Nematodes seen in the sample: They represent 90% of all animals on the ocean floor. In total, 4.4 × 1020 nematodes inhabit the Earth’s topsoil, or approximately 60 billion for each human, with the highest densities observed in tundra and boreal forests. Their numerical dominance, often exceeding a million individuals per square meter and accounting for about 80% of all individual animals on Earth, their diversity of lifecycles, and their presence at various trophic levels point to an important role in many ecosystems.
