Bivalvia Of The Deep Atlantic (2008, background): “…richness and biodiversity in the deep sea have been the subjects of a number of papers in recent years, for example, Allen & Sanders (1996b), Levin et al. (2001), Snelgrove & Smith (2002), Stuart et al. (2003), and Rex et al. (2005), and information to support these works has stemmed in…”
Characteristics of meiofauna in extreme marine ecosystems: a review (2018, background): “Although turbidites do not occur often relative to the lifespan of meiofaunal organisms, their effects are felt over very large areas and are thought to be long lasting (Levin et al. 2001; Lambshead et al. 2001).”
Species-energy relationship in the deep sea: a test using the Quaternary fossil record (2005, background): “The deep-sea represents the most extensive ecosystem on Earth, with a remarkably high species richness (Levin et al. 2001; Snelgrove & Smith 2002) but the processes that generate and maintain this diversity remain very poorly understood (Levin et al. 2001).”
Exponential decline of deep-sea ecosystem functioning linked to benthic biodiversity loss. (2008, neutral): “0 ml O2 L (21)), which are ten times higher than those potentially limiting deepsea metazoan life [11].”
Oxygen minimum zone Benthos: Adaptation and community response to hypoxia (2003, background): “Most diversity research has focused on Foraminifera and macrofauna; these groups tend to show similar responses to oxygen depletion (Levin et al. 2001).”
Habitat-forming cold-water corals show affinity for seamounts in the New Zealand region (2011, background): “Although depth is not a direct driver of species distributions, it was included as a surrogate for other variables that are known to influence species distributions in the deep sea, e.g. pressure, light and oxygen (Levin et al. 2001).”
The Biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea: Estimates, Patterns, and Threats (2010, background): “Deep-sea nematode diversity appears to be related to that of other benthic components such as foraminifers [218], macrofauna [219], and the richness of higher meiofauna taxa in the deep sea [220].”
Spatial and temporal variations in deep-sea meiofauna assemblages in the Marginal Ice Zone of the Arctic Ocean (2007, background): “Differences between the years could, therefore, be due to patchiness induced by heterogeneous distribution of food to the seafloor (Gage, 1996; Levin et al, 2001).”
Habitat heterogeneity and its influence on benthic biodiversity in oxygen minimum zones (2010, background): “When examining correlations, an important caveat is that the relationships between environmental and community parameters including diversity may be hump-shaped (Levin et al. 2001) and therefore not detected by linear correlation analysis.”
Metazoan meiofauna in deep-sea canyons and adjacent open slopes: A large-scale comparison with focus on the rare taxa (2010, background): “These results suggest that habitat characteristics could play a key role in the supply and settlement of the temporary meiofaunal taxa (Levin et al., 2001), and represent a previously neglected driver of high turnover diversity between canyons and adjacent slopes.”
Latitudinal patterns in the abundance of major marine bacterioplankton groups (2010, background): “It should be considered, however, that any apparent correlation can be a side-effect of uncharacterized, superior dependencies (Levin et al. 2001).”
