Short summary
Although under huge pressure and with permanent darkness, the seafloor has a diversity of organisms. They are almost entirely dependent on food sinking from the ocean surface onto the seafloor. This model allows us to study how these organisms survive in this hostile environment. Making use of evidence that biological characteristics, like lifetime, vary with size of organism and temperature, this model can simulate the fate of seafloor creatures from bacteria to large sea cucumbers.
