Journal ArticleDOI
Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins
Lene Buhl-Mortensen,Ann Vanreusel,Andrew J. Gooday,Lisa A. Levin,Imants G. Priede,Pål Buhl-Mortensen,Hendrik Gheerardyn,Nicola J. King,Maarten Raes +8 more
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
The absence of sharks from abyssal regions of the world's oceans
Imants G. Priede,Rainer Froese,David M. Bailey,Odd Aksel Bergstad,Martin A. Collins,Jan Erik Dyb,Camila Henriques,Emma G. Jones,Nicola J. King +8 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that Sharks are excluded from the abyss by high-energy demand, including an oil-rich liver for buoyancy, which cannot be sustained in extreme oligotrophic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cameras and carcasses: historical and current methods for using artificial food falls to study deep-water animals
TL;DR: This review describes the evolution of baited camera techniques in deep-sea research from the early deployments, through recent programs to investigate trends in animal distribution with depth, latitude, and ocean basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depth zonation and latitudinal distribution of deep-sea scavenging demersal fishes of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 42 to 53°N
TL;DR: The size, abundance and depth distribution of C. armatus was consistent with the hypothesis that these fish are part of a population mixing freely across the deep North Atlantic Basin, and temperature and latitude influenced distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep‐sea demersal fish species richness in the Porcupine Seabight, NE Atlantic Ocean: global and regional patterns
Imants G. Priede,Jasmin A. Godbold,Nicola J. King,Martin A. Collins,Martin A. Collins,David M. Bailey,David M. Bailey,John D M Gordon +7 more
TL;DR: This study aimed at determining whether the resultant pattern of species richness with depth is a consequence of local factors in a given region or whether it simply reflects the global pattern of fish species distribution in the oceans.
