Explaining bathymetric diversity patterns in marine benthic invertebrates and demersal fishes: physiological contributions to adaptation of life at depth

open access: yes, 2014
Bathymetric biodiversity patterns of marine benthic invertebrates and demersal fishes have been identified in the extant fauna of the deep continental margins.

Late Miocene to early Pliocene stratigraphic record in northern Taranaki Basin: Condensed sedimentation ahead of Northern Graben extension and progradation of the modern continental margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The middle Pliocene-Pleistocene progradation of the Giant Foresets Formation in Taranaki Basin built up the modern continental margin offshore from western North Island.

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages as proxies for paleoenvironmental indicators in the Indo-Pacific (Indonesia) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Micropalaeontology
This study tests the hypothesis that benthic foraminiferal assemblages in Indonesian seas exhibit systematic depth zonation, with environmental controls shifting from physical factors in shallow waters to biochemical factors in deep waters.

A global assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren: Functional consistency with depth

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Lebensspuren—sedimentary traces produced by benthic organisms—are widespread on deep‐sea floors but remain infrequently reported from abyssal (~ 3000–6000) and hadal (> 6000 m) environments. Here, we present the most comprehensive assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren to date, spanning multiple ocean basins and reaching full‐ocean

Foreland Flexure and Lower Crustal Flow as Controls on Cenozoic Subsidence Anomalies in the Zengmu (Sarawak) Basin, South China Sea

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract While the evolution of individual passive marginal and foreland basins is well understood, the subsidence pattern of passive margins near convergence zones—where thrust loading overprints earlier extension and the typical wedge and foredeep are obscured—remains poorly understood.

Mesophotic animal forests of the Aegean Sea support fish diversity hotspots under high fishing pressure

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are dense aggregations of habitat‐forming species that constitute essential habitats for diverse taxa including fish. However, the study of MAFs and their associated fauna remains largely skewed to their shallowest occurrence, above 30 m depth.

Le rôle des foraminifères benthiques dans l'identification de l'étage bathyal sur le plateau continental congolais

open access: yes, 1987
Benthic foraminifera in the idenfication of bathyal association on Congolese continental shelf. The microfaunas studied for the definition of this bionomica, association come from dredgings done by Orstom, Pointe Noire (People's Republic of Congo) for ...

Evolution of the Southwest Australian Rifted Continental Margin During Breakup of East Gondwana: Results From International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 369

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 369 drilled four sites on the southwestern Australian continental margin, in the deep water Mentelle Basin (MB) and on the neighboring Naturaliste Plateau (NP).

The Deep‐Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Deep‐sea predator foraging is shaped by prey richness, accessibility, and density. Using eDNA and acoustics, we mapped fish and cephalopod communities across inshore‐offshore gradients around the Azores in foraging habitats of three co‐occurring deep‐diving toothed whales.

Provenance and Petrological Evolution of Sand Injection Complexes: Insights From Heavy Mineral Analysis in the Paleogene Forearc Succession of the San Joaquin Basin

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
The study of heavy mineral assemblages with statistical analysis resolves provenance signatures and quantifies syn‐emplacement modification of sand injection complexes. Results demonstrate transformative petrological processes, including density‐dependent hydraulic sorting and mechanical grain degradation.
