• ECOLOGY OF WHALE FALLS AT THE DEEP-SEA FLOOR (2003, background): “There is also very little overlap between sponge stalks collected off Southern California and the Southern California whale falls (Beaulieu 2001, Baco-Taylor 2002, Baco & Smith, unpubl. data).”
• Glass sponges arrest pumping in response to sediment: implications for the physiology of the hexactinellid conduction system (2008, background): “Other species of hexactinellid are found in deeper water and are diYcult to collect in good condition (Bett and Rice 1992; Barthel 1995; Beaulieu 2001), but all hexactinellids have syncytial tissues (Leys et al. 2007) and all are therefore presumed to propagate electrical signals that arrest the…”
• Richness and distribution of sponge megabenthos in continental margin canyons off southeastern Australia (2007, background): “…a functional role equivalent to that of other large megabenthos such as corals; (3) sponges may also function as microhabitat islands in the deep sea (Beaulieu 2001); (4) sponges host a great diversity of other invertebrates that are either facultative or obligate endo- and epibionts (Henkel &…”
• Siliceous sponges as a silicon sink: An overlooked aspect of benthopelagic coupling in the marine silicon cycle (2005, background): “33 m22 (Beaulieu 2001).”
• Benthic grazing and carbon sequestration by deep‐water glass sponge reefs (2015, background): “Glass sponges are effective ecosystem engineers by constructing a three-dimensional habitat for other animals (Beaulieu 2001; Du Preez and Tunnicliffe 2011).”
• Gold coral (Savalia savaglia) and gorgonian forests enhance benthic biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the mesophotic zone (2009, background): “Seagrass meadows (de Boer 2007), kelp forests (Gaylord et al. 2007), coral reefs (Shashar et al. 1996), mussel and scallop beds (Cerrano et al. 2006), xenophyophore and sponge fields (Gooday et al. 1993; Beaulieu 2001 ), typically modify their own habitat increasing the fitness of associated specie”
• Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins (2010, background): “These organisms will often be colonized by species that are not common in the surrounding habitat, and thus they are considered local hotspots of activity and diversity (Levin 1991; Beaulieu 2001).”
