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 …

Hydrostatic pressure (HP), increasing by 1 atm per 10 m in the ocean, perturbs many cellular
processes, for example, by rigidifying membranes and disturbing protein folding and ligand …

The isolation of the Southern Ocean after the opening of Drake Passage some 23–25 million
years ago, the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the subsequent cooling of the …

Eurythenes gryllus is one of the most widespread amphipod species, occurring in every
ocean with a depth range covering the bathyal, abyssal and hadal zones. Previous studies …

The diversity of bait-attending fishes at lower abyssal and upper hadal depths was assessed
using baited cameras in 14 subduction trenches, three fracture zones and two holes …

There are few biological datasets that span large bathymetric ranges with sufficient
resolution to identify trends across the abyssal and hadal transition zone, particularly over …

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 …

Ecological speciation probably plays a more prominent role in diversification than previously
thought, particularly in marine ecosystems where dispersal potential is great and where few …

Mineral prospecting in the deep sea is increasing, promoting concern regarding potential
ecotoxicological impacts on deep-sea fauna. Technological difficulties in assessing toxicity …

The waters around Iceland, bounding the Northern North Atlantic and the Nordic seas, are a
region characterized by complex hydrography and seabed topography. This and the …
