Abundance of small individuals influences the effectiveness of processing techniques for deep-sea nematodes
(Elsevier, 2010)Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans of deep-sea benthic communities, but knowledge of their distribution is limited relative to larger organisms. Whilst some aspects of nematode processing techniques, such as extraction, ... -
Effect of a physical disturbance event on deep-sea nematode community structure and ecosystem function
(Elsevier, 2013)Numerous studies have been conducted on the effect of physical disturbance on shallow water benthic communities, but there is a paucity of data from deep-sea environments. We conducted a laboratory experiment using undisturbed ... -
Estimating the effect of burrowing shrimp on deep-sea sediment community oxygen consumption
(PeerJ, 2017-05-11)Sediment community oxygen consumption (SCOC) is a proxy for organic matter processing and thus provides a useful proxy of benthic ecosystem function. Oxygen uptake in deep-sea sediments is mainly driven by bacteria, and ... -
Further evidence for the effect of particle-size diversity on deep-sea benthic biodiversity
(Elsevier, 2012)The positive correlation between sediment particle-size diversity (a measure of habitat heterogeneity) and deep-sea macrofaunal diversity was first demonstrated two decades ago. The causality of this relationship was not ... -
Is there a link between deep-sea biodiversity and ecosystem function?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)Studying the diversity-ecosystem function relationship in the deep sea is of primary importance in the face of biodiversity loss and for our understanding of how the deep sea functions. Results from the first study of ...
