  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...
