Review of recent trends in ecological studies of deep-sea meiofauna, with focus on patterns and processes at small to regional spatial scales
Meiofauna are an important component of deep-sea benthic communities because they are
highly abundant and play an important role in the sediment. This review describes trends in …

Zonation of deep biota on continental margins
RS Carney - Oceanography and marine biology, 2005 - taylorfrancis.com
Pioneering deep-sea surveys established that the fauna of the continental margins is zoned
in the sense that individual species and assemblages occupy restricted depth bands. It has …
