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 …

Coincident with recent global warming, species have shifted their geographic distributions to
cooler environments, generally by moving along thermal axes to higher latitudes, higher …

Landscapes of vertical relief, such as mountains and continental slopes, intensify ecological
and climatological variation within narrow spatial windows. Seasonal vertical migrants …

Recent analyses of metabolic rates in fishes, echinoderms, crustaceans and cephalopods
have concluded that bathymetric declines in temperature-and mass-normalized metabolic …

Hydrostatic pressure is an important environmental factor affecting the vertical distribution of
marine organisms. Laboratory-based studies have shown that many extant shallow-water …

For species in the deep sea, there is a knowledge gap related to their functional traits at all
stages of their life cycles. Dynamic energy budget (DEB) theory has been proven to be an …

Physiological adaptations enabling tolerance of low temperature, as well as adaptations in
larval development, are thought to be critical to the global radiation of deep-water lineages …

Although hydrostatic pressure is one of the most prominent abiotic drivers of faunal
bathymetric ranges, it is one of the least understood. To better understand hyperbaric …

Faunal exchanges between shallow-water and deep-sea environments, throughout
geological times, have resulted in the broad colonization of oceanic depths we see today …

Background Global climate change is predicted to force the bathymetric migrations of
shallow-water marine invertebrates. Hydrostatic pressure is proposed to be one of the major …
