Population connectivity refers to the exchange of individuals among populations: it affects
gene flow, regulates population size and function, and mitigates recovery from natural or …

Bathymetric biodiversity patterns of marine benthic invertebrates and demersal fishes have
been identified in the extant fauna of the deep continental margins. Depth zonation is …

Coincident with recent global warming, species have shifted their geographic distributions to
cooler environments, generally by moving along thermal axes to higher latitudes, higher …

Heatwaves have increased in intensity, duration and frequency over the last decades due to
climate change. Intertidal species, living in a highly variable environment, are likely to be …

As a consequence of anthropogenic climate change, marine species on continental shelves
around the world are rapidly shifting deeper and poleward. However, whether these shifts …

Changing climate is predicted to impact all depths of the global oceans, yet projections of
range shifts in marine faunal distributions in response to changing climate seldom evaluate …

The advent of industrial activities in the deep sea will inevitably expose deep-sea organisms
to potentially toxic compounds. Although international regulations require environmental risk …

Water depth is associated with significant environmental changes and gradients that,
together with biotic, geological, and evolutionary processes, define bathymetric ranges of …

Anthropogenic effects on marine ecosystems (eg hypoxia, warming) at and beyond
continental margins are assumed to affect physiological and biochemical boundaries to …

In the 21 century, in order to effectively solve the problem of declining offshore living
resources, maritime countries have started to exploit deep-sea marine bioresources to …
