The deep-sea benthic community at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic) is a highly
food limited system. The annual input of sedimenting phytodetritus, which reaches the sea …

Foraminifera commonly dominate ocean-floor eukaryotic communities. They also are the
most abundant benthic organisms to be preserved in the post-Paleozoic deep-sea fossil …

Meiobenthology is the science of the tiny animals that live in huge numbers in all aquatic
sediments. This fully revised and enlarged second edition emphasizes new discoveries and …

Scientists rely on food webs—complex networks that trace the flow of nutrients and energy
between species and through ecosystems—to understand the infrastructure of ecological …

Previous biological studies in the Northeast Atlantic have suggested that phytodetrital
aggregates, which originate in the euphotic zone and settle rapidly to the seafloor following …

The distribution of living (rose bengal stained) deep‐sea benthic foraminifera was
determined in the upper 20 cm of sediments of eight Soutar box cores taken from two depth …

For years scientists viewed the deep sea as calm, quiet, and undisturbed, with marine
species existing in an ecologically stable and uniform environment. Recent discoveries have …

A 20+ year data set of the size of the hypoxic zone off the Louisiana− Texas coast is
analyzed to reveal insights about what causes variation in the size of the hypoxic zone in …

Macrofaunal abundance, biomass, diversity and species assemblages within Scripps and
La Jolla Submarine Canyons are compared with those on the nearby continental shelf and …

An account is given of 114 new or otherwise interesting species of benthic marine flagellates
from Fiji, Northern Australia (Queensland), Hawaii, Panama and Brazil. Most species are …
