Exploring hidden reefs: a study of seamount benthic diversity along the south-west Indian ocean ridge [PDF]
Seamounts are common topographic features in the deep sea which play an important role in supporting ocean life (Rowden et al., 2010). Whilst global estimates predict there could be as many as ~100,000 seamounts worldwide, less than 4% of these have been

Seamount Ecosystem Evaluation Framework (SEEF): A Tool for Global Seamount Research and Data Synthesis [PDF]
The Seamount Ecosystem Evaluation Framework (SEEF) is an innovative multidisciplinary tool developed to standardize the parameters by which seamounts are characterized, to report the extent of knowledge about individual seamounts, and to identify and ...

Surveys of seamounts in the Southern Indian Ocean were carried out during the 37th and 38th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-37 and JARE-38). Previous uncharted seamounts were identified on board the icebreaker SHIRASE.

Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

Abstract Robust estimates of the magnitude of protected species bycatch are essential for effective fisheries management and marine conservation. Existing bycatch estimation methods typically struggle to accurately and precisely estimate the bycatch of rare species as a result of the statistical assumptions necessary to overcome infrequent encounters ...

Seamounts: Deep-Ocean Laboratories of Faunal Connectivity, Evolution, and Endemism [PDF]
Seamount systems that are geographically, hydrographically, topographically, and/or genetically “isolated” are likely to have developed highly endemic taxa and ecosystems.

The Mollusca of Galicia Bank (NE Atlantic Ocean)
An illustrated checklist of the Mollusca of Galicia Bank, a large and deep seamount off the NW Iberian Peninsula, is provided. The studied material was collected in 8 samples of Seamount 1 cruise (1987), 7 samples of ECOMARG 0709 (2009) and 36 samples of

First insights into oceanic manta ray movements in Japan using satellite telemetry
Abstract Japanese waters represent the northern distributional limit of the western Pacific distribution of the oceanic manta ray (Mobula birostris), yet movement ecology in this region remains poorly understood. We report movements of the first satellite‐tagged individual in Japan.

Population Structure and Diversity of Polynoids Associated with Tubeworms at Axial Seamount
Polynoid worms at Axial Seamount represent a sizable portion of the already annelid dominant environment but have comparatively little work examining the population structure of the taxa.

Deformation and faulting of subduction overriding plate caused by a subducted seamount
We conducted numerical experiments to simulate elastoplastic deformation of the overriding plate caused by a subducted seamount. Calculations revealed development of a distinct pair of fault‐like shear zones, including a landward dipping forethrust fault
