Benthos distribution modelling and its relevance for marine ecosystem management
The marine ecosystem is known to be influenced by a combination of physical, chemical,
and biological components, which has a direct influence on the integrity of species and …

Global status, impacts, and management of rocky temperate mesophotic ecosystems
The ecology and function of rocky temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) remain poorly
understood globally despite their widespread distribution. They typically occur at 20–150 m …
