On the use of abiotic surrogates to describe marine benthic biodiversity (2010, background): “, 2008) other than around novel features, such as seamounts (Rowden et al., 2005) or hydrothermal vents (Van Dover, 2000).”
Seamounts : centres of endemism or species richness for ophiuroids? (2007, background): “Seamounts within the study area had a great diversity of form, size, depth and position, altering local environmental conditions and consequently faunal composition (Rowden et al., 2005).”
Impacts of bottom trawling on deep-coral ecosystems of seamounts are long-lasting (2009, background): “Seamounts (as defined by Pitcher et al. 2007) are elevated seafloor structures, mostly formed by volcanism (Wessel 2007), that are numerous (e.g. >30 000 in the Pacific Ocean, Smith & Jordan 1988), but mostly small in area (e.g. <20 km2 for ~800 around New Zealand, Rowden et al. 2005).”
