Assessment of benthic trophic status of marine coastal ecosystems: Significance of meiofaunal rare taxa (2011, background): “meiofaunal assemblages associated to different trophic status can provide more reliable and clear results if we focus on those taxa representing <1% of the total meiofaunal abundance (i.e., rare taxa; Bianchelli et al., 2010; Mirto et al., 2010; Gambi et al., 2010).”
Characteristics of meiofauna in extreme marine ecosystems: a review (2018, background): “For instance, Bianchelli et al. (2010) reported several taxa that either lived exclusively in canyons (including tanaids, echinoid larvae) or exclusively on the adjacent slopes (priapulids, holothuroids, ascidiaceans, cnidarians) in their large-scale study on six canyon systems from three different…”
The Whittard Canyon: a case study of submarine canyon processes (2016, unknown): “…Canyon are generally higher than those reported from the open slopes of the Atlantic Ocean (Celtic and Portuguese margins) and of the Mediterranean Sea (Catalan and South Adriatic margins) (Bianchelli et al., 2010; Ingels et al., 2009, 2011a, b, c, 2013a; Romano et al., 2013) at similar depths.”
