 There is a growing international interest in deep-sea resource extraction \citep{mengerink_call_2014}, particularly targeting mid-ocean ridges and other active geothermal areas. The ridges around Iceland, such as the Reykjanes Ridge, are home to hydrothermal vent sites. Assessing the extent of damage and loss of ecosystem services caused by climate change and mining activities is challenging without robust baseline data \citep{meisner_prefacebiodiversity_2018}.
 
-Crustaceans of the taxon Peracarida Calman, 1904, often constitute a significant portion of macrobenthic communities in Arctic and subarctic waters. They are widely dispersed across the continental shelf and slope of northern seas. This study focuses on the peracarid taxon Cumacea Krøyer, 1846, which plays a crucial role in food webs and serves as an indicator of marine habitat health \citep{stransky_diversity_2010}. Cumaceans are primarily bottom-dwelling marine benthic crustaceans, spending much of their lives buried in or near sediments. Consequently, they are presumed to have limited dispersal abilities and are unlikely to move great distances \citep{uhlir_adding_2021}.

They are widely dispersed across the continental shelf and slope of northern seas. This study focuses on the peracarid taxon Cumacea Krøyer, 1846, which plays a crucial role as an indicator of the health of marine ecosystems due to their high susceptibility to environmental fluctuations \citep{stransky_diversity_2010}. Thus, their diversity and abundance are likely to represent the quality of local environments, which makes them crucial for ecological monitoring studies \citep{hessler1967faunal}. Cumaceas are also part of the food web of benthic ecosystems, providing prey for numerous species of fish and marine invertebrates \citep{rehm2009cumacea}. These organisms are primarily bottom-dwelling marine benthic crustaceans, spending much of their lives buried in or near sediments. Consequently, they are presumed to have limited dispersal abilities and are unlikely to move great distances \citep{uhlir_adding_2021}.
 
 Unlike the benthic invertebrates inhabiting the rocky intertidal environments of the Northwest and Northeast Atlantic, the evolutionary history and dynamics of deep-sea benthic invertebrates in the North Atlantic are less understood \citep{jennings_phylogeographic_2014}. Although many studies reveal intriguing patterns of genetic distribution among deep-sea benthic invertebrates (e.g., \citep{wilson_historical_1998, havermans_genetic_2013}), understanding the origin and demography of deep Atlantic biota is fundamental for comprehending their relationship with ongoing climate change, which should be considered a factor in the range expansion of deep-sea fauna \citep{jennings_phylogeographic_2014}.
