Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The structural attributes and biotic effects of the habitats that corals, sea pens, sponges and xenophyophores offer other organisms and the biotic structures they create to habitat heterogeneity and diversity on the deep continental margins are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is diatom size selection by harpacticoid copepods related to grazer body size
TL;DR: The results suggest that this selectivity of harpacticoid copepod species is not related to their body size, and the only species that ate significantly more of small diatoms was characterised by comparatively small mouthparts in relation to its body size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and large-scale biogeography of Paramesochridae (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) in South Atlantic Abyssal Plains and the deep Southern Ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, a total of 311 adult Paramesochridae Lang, 1944 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) was extracted from 437 cores obtained during 83 deployments of the corer at depths between 1107 and 5655 m.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harpacticoida (Crustacea: Copepoda) associated with cold-water coral substrates in the Porcupine Seabight (NE Atlantic): species composition, diversity and reflections on the origin of the fauna
TL;DR: The harpacticoid copepod fauna in the Porcupine Seabight did not seem to differ markedly from other deep-sea areas, but the presence of typically epifaunal taxa indicates that the hard substrates of the coral degradation zone provide an exceptional habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community structure and microhabitat preferences of harpacticoid copepods in a tropical reef lagoon (Zanzibar Island, Tanzania)
TL;DR: In this paper, three microhabitat types (dead coral fragments, coral gravel and coral sand) were distinguished and sampled at two locations (Matemwe and Makunduchi) in a tropical lagoon (Zanzibar Island, Tanzania), and the community structure, habitat preferences and biodiversity of the associated harpacticoid copepod fauna was investigated.
