Deep-sea sponge grounds enhance diversity and abundance of epibenthic megafauna in the Northwest Atlantic (2013, background): “This is presumably via current baffling and the concentration of food resources (Krautter et al., 2006; Schlacher et al., 2007).”
The Whittard Canyon: a case study of submarine canyon processes (2016, unknown): “These phenomena eventually lead to an enrichment in abundance and diversity of biological communities (Schlacher et al., 2007, Danovaro et al., 2009; Bianchelli et al., 2010; Vetter et al., 2010) including commercially important stocks of fish and shellfish (Puig et al., 2012).”
Identifying deep-sea megafaunal epibenthic assemblages for use in habitat mapping and marine protected area network design (2010, background): “Descriptions of the megafaunal assemblages of canyons are lacking despite numerous publications dealing with the subject (Rowe, 1971; Headrich et al., 1975; Hecker et al., 1988; Cartes et al., 1994; Sarda et al., 1994; Vetter & Dayton, 1999; Duineveld et al., 2001; Schlacher et al., 2007) making com”
Biodiversity of macrofaunal assemblages from three Portuguese submarine canyons (NE Atlantic) (2011, background): “The great spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability both among different canyons and within each individual system determine the ecology and the diversity of their benthic fauna (e.g. Schlacher et al., 2007).”
