Metazoan meiofauna in deep-sea canyons and adjacent open slopes: A large-scale comparison with focus on the rare taxa (2010, background): “Canyons are among the most spectacular features of continental margins, and contribute substantially to the channelling of water masses, sediments and organic matter from the shore to deep basins (Weaver et al., 2004; Canals et al., 2006).”
Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem (2010, background): “Climatologically-induced changes include also the variation in periodicity and intensity of episodic events such as deep-water cascading (Canals et al., 2006; Company et al., 2008), the abrupt change in the thermoaline conditions such as the Eastern Mediterranean transient (Danovaro et al., 2001,…”
Biodiversity of macrofaunal assemblages from three Portuguese submarine canyons (NE Atlantic) (2011, background): “Rapid, episodic flushing of canyons may mobilise large amounts of sediment, carrying it to the abyss and devastating benthic ecosystems over a wide area (Canals et al., 2006).”
α-, β-, γ-, δ- and ε-diversity of deep-sea nematodes in canyons and open slopes of Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean margins. (2009, background): “…et al. 2001, 2005, Gaston 2000, Lambshead et al. 2000, Gage 2004, Danovaro et al. 2008a), but the knowledge of the factors controlling bathymetric, latitudinal and longi- tudinal patterns is still very poor (Snelgrove & Smith 2002, Danovaro et al. 2004, Canals et al. 2006, Danovaro et al. 2008a).”
Man and the Last Great Wilderness: Human Impact on the Deep Sea (2011, background): “Climate change may also affect the periodicity and intensity of episodic events such as dense shelf water cascading [110].”
Species-specific physiological response by the cold-water corals Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata to variations within their natural temperature range (2014, background): “Seawater temperature close to Mediterranean in situ conditions (Canals et al., 2006; Palanques et al., 2006; Freiwald et al., 2009) was maintained by chillers (Teco SeaChill TR 20) and 300 W heaters (Visi-Therm) connected to controllers (West 6100) regulating temperature at 12.”
The contribution of deep-sea macrohabitat heterogeneity to global nematode diversity (2010, background): “91 %, is high and caused by extraordinary topographic and hydrodynamic complexity, driving variability on various spatial and temporal scales (Canals et al., 2006; de Stigter et al., 2007).”
Turbidity Currents and Their Deposits (2010, background): “Eng. 133:1037–47 Palanques A, Durrieu de Madron X, Puig P, Fabres J, Guillén J, et al. 2006a. Suspended sediment fluxes and transport processes in the Gulf of Lions submarine canyons: the role of storms and dense water cascading.”
Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins (2010, background): “Transport events can be episodic, violent cascades leading to erosion and the deposition of material in the deep sea (Canals et al. 2006), imposing temporal and spatial variability on the fauna living in the region (Company et al. 2008).”
Plastics and microplastics in the oceans: From emerging pollutants to emerged threat. (2017, background): “microplastics to depth, include dense shelf water cascading (Canals et al., 2006), severe coastal storms (Sanchez-Vidal et al.”
The deep sea is a major sink for microplastic debris (2014, background): “These processes include dense shelf water cascading [28,29], severe coastal storms [30], offshore convection [31,32] and saline subduction [33].”
