Synaphobranchid eel swarms on abyssal seamounts: Largest aggregation of fishes ever observed at abyssal depths [PDF]

, 2021
The abyssal seafloor makes up three quarters of the ocean floor, and it is generally characterized as a food-limited habitat with low numbers of megafauna, particularly fishes.

The supergiant amphipod Alicella gigantea may inhabit over half of the world’s oceans

Royal Society Open Science
The deep-sea amphipod Alicella gigantea Chevreux, 1899, currently known as the world’s largest amphipod, inhabits depths of the lower abyssal and upper hadal zones. Historically, it has been sampled or observed in situ infrequently relative to other deep-

An End-to-End DNA Taxonomy Methodology for Benthic Biodiversity Survey in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, Central Pacific Abyss

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
Recent years have seen increased survey and sampling expeditions to the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), central Pacific Ocean abyss, driven by commercial interests from contractors in the potential extraction of polymetallic nodules in the region. Part of

Deep-sea scavenging amphipod assemblages from the submarine canyons of the Western Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2012
Submarine canyons have often been identified as hotspots of secondary production with the potential to house distinct faunal assemblages and idiosyncratic ecosystems. Within these deep-sea habitats, assemblages of scavenging fauna play a vital role in

Magnetobiostratigraphic synthesis of Leg 123: sites 765 and 766 (Argo Abyssal Plain and Lower Exmouth Plateau) [PDF]

, 1992
During ODP Leg 123, Sites 765 and 766 were drilled to examine the tectonic evolution, sedimentary history, and paleoceanography of the Argo Abyssal Plain and lower Exmouth Plateau.

Biogeographic Insights Into the Late Miocene Diversification of the Giant Deep‐Ocean Amphipod Eurythenes

Ecology and Evolution
Mechanisms driving the spatial and temporal patterns of species distribution in the Earth's largest habitat, the deep ocean, remain largely enigmatic. The late Miocene to the Pliocene (~23–2.58 Ma) is a period that was marked by significant geological ...

Petrogenetic Implications for Ophiolite Ultramafic Bodies from Lokris and Beotia (Central Greece) Based on Chemistry of Their Cr-spinels

Geosciences, 2017
Cr-spinels from ultramafic rocks from Lokris (Megaplatanos and Tragana), and Beotia (Ypato and Alyki) ophiolitic occurrences were studied. These rocks comprise principally harzburgite with minor dunite. Small amounts of clinopyroxene-rich harzburgite and

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Sexual biochemistry in the deep sea – the link between phytoplankton and abyssal holothurians

, 2008
Holothurians play an important role in carbon cycling. They dominate the abyssal oceanic megabenthos, reworking large amounts of organic matter. Holothurians require essential organic nutrients, such as carotenoids for their reproduction.

New species of Laetmonice (Aphroditidae, Annelida) from bathyal and abyssal depths around Australia

Records of the Australian Museum
Research voyages on board RV ‘Investigator’ between 2015 and 2022 sampled benthic communities of Australia’s Eastern and Southern continental margins from the slope down to abyssal depths (463–5000 m) as well as the seamounts off the Indian Ocean ...
