Abstract: Abstract As deep-sea benthic ecosystems of continental margins provide numerous functions and services to humans, a better understanding of these key habitats and their communities is needed to help predict climate-driven shifts and support conservation… read more here.

Abstract: Based on the specimens collected during three deep-sea cruises, and deposited at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) in Paris, we analysed the diversity of benthic communities within the EEZ of French Polynesia. The literature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.2096
Abstract: In many oceanic carbon budgets there is a discrepancy between the energetic requirements of deep-sea benthic communities and the supply of organic matter. This suggests that there are unidentified and unmeasured food sources reaching the… read more here.
