The trophic biology of the holothurian Molpadia musculus: implications for organic matter cycling and ecosystem functioning in a deep submarine canyon [PDF]
, 2010 Megafaunal organisms play a key role in ecosystem functioning in the deep-sea through bioturbation, bioirrigation and organic matter cycling. At 3500 m water depth in the Nazaré Canyon, NE Atlantic, very high abundances of the infaunal holothurian ...

Phytopigments as biomarkers of selectivity in abyssal holothurians; interspecific differences in response to a changing food supply [PDF]
, 2010 Holothurians dominate the abyssal megabenthos. They are key consumers and bioturbators of surficial sediment. Compounds essential for holothurian reproduction, such as carotenoids, are in short supply in the deep ocean.

Long-term change in the abyssal NE Atlantic: The ‘Amperima Event’ revisited [PDF]
, 2010 The results from a time series study (1989–2005) at a depth of 4850 m on the Porcupine Abyssal Plain, NE Atlantic, are presented, showing radical changes in the density of large invertebrates (megafauna) over time.

Vertical distribution of megafauna on the Bering Sea slope based on ROV survey [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Video surveys were carried out during the 75th cruise of the RV Akademik M.A. Lavrentyev (June 2016) along the northern slope of the Volcanologists Massif, in the south-western Bering Sea. The seafloor was explored using the ROV Comanche 18.

Functional effects of the hadal sea cucumber Elpidia atakama (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea, Elasipodida) reflect small-scale patterns of resource availability [PDF]
, 2011 Holothuroidea represent the dominant benthic megafauna in hadal trenches (similar to 6,000-11,000 m), but little is known about their behaviour and functional role at such depths.

Anti-Fouling Effects of Saponin-Containing Crude Extracts from Tropical Indo-Pacific Sea Cucumbers
Marine Drugs, 2020 Sea cucumbers are bottom dwelling invertebrates, which are mostly found on subtropical and tropical sea grass beds, sandy reef flats, or reef slopes. Although constantly exposed to fouling communities in these habitats, many species are surprisingly free

Asteroids, ophiuroids and holothurians from the southeastern Weddell Sea (Southern Ocean)
ZooKeys, 2014 Until the early 1980s, the composition and distribution of the asteroid (starfish), ophiuroid (brittle star) and holothurian (sea cucumber) bottom fauna of the southeastern Weddell Sea was virtually unknown.
