Ecology of whale falls at the deep-sea floor
Craig R. Smith,Amy R. Baco +1 more
TL;DR: Time-series studies of natural and implanted deep- sea whale falls off California, USA indicate that bathyal carcasses pass through at least three successional stages:
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two modelling approaches developed for presence-only data were used to predict global habitat suitability for seamount scleractinians: maximum entropy modelling (Maxent) and environmental niche factor analysis (ENFA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal Vents and Methane Seeps: Rethinking the Sphere of Influence
Lisa A. Levin,Amy R. Baco,David A. Bowden,Ana Colaço,Erik E. Cordes,Marina R. Cunha,Amanda W.J. Demopoulos,Judith Gobin,Benjamin M. Grupe,Jennifer T. Le,Anna Metaxas,Amanda N. Netburn,Greg W. Rouse,Andrew R. Thurber,Verena Tunnicliffe,Cindy Lee Van Dover,Ann Vanreusel,Les Watling +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize current knowledge of the nature, extent and time and space scales of vent and seep interactions with background systems, and document an expanded footprint beyond the site of local venting or seepage with respect to elemental cycling and energy flux, habitat use, trophic interactions, and connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A detailed overview of the impacts of these changing environmental parameters on deep-seafloor ecosystems that will most likely be seen by 2100 in continental margin, abyssal and polar settings is provided in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that ongoing greenhouse gas emissions are likely to have a considerable effect on several biogeochemical properties of the world's oceans, with potentially serious consequences for biodiversity and human welfare.
