Applications and future challenges in marine species distribution modeling (2011, methodology): “(2009) used a bundle of ten parameters for predicting future distribution of fishes and invertebrates and Tittensor et al. (2009) based their predictions of habitat suitability for stony”
A statistical explanation of MaxEnt for ecologists (2011, unknown): “seamounts Tittensor et al. (2009)”
Habitat-forming cold-water corals show affinity for seamounts in the New Zealand region (2011, methodology): “The global models of Tittensor et al. (2009, 2010) showed that the New Zealand region is particularly suitable for stony corals.”
Impacts of bottom trawling on deep-coral ecosystems of seamounts are long-lasting (2009, background): “Patchy thickets of the scleractinian coral Solenosmilia variabilis, a widely distributed species in the southwest Pacific Ocean (Freiwald et al. 2004, Tittensor et al. 2009), can cover large areas on seamounts (Koslow et al. 2001, Clark & Rowden 2009).”
Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem (2010, background): “…these sampling limitations, new species distribution modelling techniques and statistical methods have shown promise in the extrapolation of large-scale or global patterns of habitat suitability and potential distribution from existing deep-sea samples (Davies et al., 2008; Tittensor et al., 2009).”
Cold-water corals in a changing ocean (2014, methodology): “The most recent work uses the Maximum Entropy approach with examples including scleractinian corals on seamounts [14] and deep-water octocorals [15 ].”
Ocean‐scale prediction of whale shark distribution (2012, background): “, 2007), coral communities (Garza-Pérez et al., 2004; Beger & Possingham, 2008; Tittensor et al., 2009; Mellin et al., 2010), shellfish in coastal ecosystems (Sequeira et al.”
When the species is also a habitat: Comparing the predictively modelled distributions of Lophelia pertusa and the reef habitat it forms (2011, background): “…the distribution of the species is useful and appropriate for assisting in targeting and coordinating conservation efforts (Davies et al., 2008; Tittensor et al., 2009), the discrepancy between the areas of predicted presence of the species and the habitat in this study suggest that predictive…”
On some hypotheses of diversity of animal life at great depths on the sea floor (2015, background): “…(Samadi et al. 2006; Hall-Spencer et al. 2007; McClain 2007; O’Hara 2007; O’Hara et al. 2008; Brewin et al. 2009; McClain et al. 2009; Thoma et al. 2009; Tittensor et al. 2009; Clark et al. 2010; Howell et al. 2010; McClain et al. 2010; Rowden et al. 2010a,b; Shank 2010; Tittensor et al. 2010).”
Assemblage structure, but not diversity or density, change with depth on a northeast Pacific seamount (2010, background): “For example, the dominance of octocorals versus scleractinians may be driven by aragonite saturation depth and oxygen saturation (Lundsten et al. 2009a; Tittensor et al. 2009).”
Use of predictive habitat modelling to assess the distribution and extent of the current protection of ‘listed’ deep‐sea habitats (2013, background): “Many species distribution models already exist for the reef-forming coral Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus, 1758) in order to identify the areas of conservation importance (Davies et al., 2008; Dolan et al., 2008; Guinan et al., 2009; Tittensor et al., 2009).”
Predicting the distribution of vulnerable marine ecosystems in the deep sea using presence-background models (2014, methodology): “Early studies focussed on collating depth layered habitat suitability predictions with information on seamount distributions (Kitchingman and Lai, 2004) to produce global measures of ‘seamount suitability’ (Clark et al., 2006 later published in Tittensor et al., 2009).”
Global habitat suitability of cold‐water octocorals (2012, background): “ENFA models performed significantly worse than Maxent models (as assessed by AUC), which is consistent with prior analyses comparing the two approaches in the deep sea (Tittensor et al., 2009).”
