Further evidence for the effect of particle-size diversity on deep-sea benthic biodiversity
Leduc, Daniel; Rowden, Ashley A.; Probert, P. Keith; Pilditch, Conrad A.; Nodder, Scott D.; Vanreusel, Ann; Duineveld, Gérard C. A.; Witbaard, Rob (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?
Leduc, Daniel; Rowden, Ashley A.; Pilditch, Conrad A.; Maas, Elizabeth W.; Probert, P. Keith (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 ... -
Nematode beta diversity on the continental slope of New Zealand: spatial patterns and environmental drivers
Leduc, Daniel; Rowden, Ashley A.; Bowden, David A.; Nodder, Scott D.; Probert, P. Keith; Pilditch, Conrad A.; Duineveld, Gérard C. A.; Witbaard, Rob (Inter-Research, 2012)The management of marine biodiversity relies on sound knowledge of beta (or turnover) and gamma (or regional) diversity patterns, but such knowledge is largely lacking for continental slope environments. Here, we used ... -
Unimodal relationship between biomass and species richness of deep-sea nematodes: implications for the link between productivity and diversity
Leduc, Daniel; Rowden, Ashley A.; Bowden, David A.; Probert, P. Keith; Pilditch, Conrad A.; Nodder, Scott D. (Inter-Research, 2012)Describing large-scale patterns of biological diversity is a first step towards understanding the mechanisms that generate and maintain diversity. The highly diverse deep-sea floor is the largest ecosystem on Earth, but ...
