Functional, size and taxonomic diversity of fish along a depth gradient in the deep sea
Biodiversity is well studied in ecology and the concept has been developed to include traits
of species, rather than solely taxonomy, to better reflect the functional diversity of a system …

Evaluating the existence of vertebrate deadfall communities from the Early Jurassic Posidonienschiefer Formation
Large vertebrate carcasses contain significant amounts of nutrients that upon death are
transferred from the water column to the benthos, enriching the immediate environment. The …
