Traces of organisms detected in sediments from 7.5 kilometers below the ocean surface reveal how organisms living in the deep sea are engineering their own environments. Analyses of sediment cores from the Pacific Ocean’s Japan Trench, presented in Nature Communications, uncover evidence of burrowing and feeding activity of these deep-sea dwellers.
