Seafloor heterogeneity influences the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships in the deep sea
Theoretical ecology predicts that heterogeneous habitats allow more species to co-exist in a
given area. In the deep sea, biodiversity is positively linked with ecosystem functioning …

Review of recent trends in ecological studies of deep-sea meiofauna, with focus on patterns and processes at small to regional spatial scales
Meiofauna are an important component of deep-sea benthic communities because they are
highly abundant and play an important role in the sediment. This review describes trends in …
