Aim To test the hypothesis that low productivity drives the nestedness component of β‐diversity in polychaetes at the deep‐sea floor. Location Western Gulf of Mexico. Methods We used A. Baselga's (2010, Global Ecology and Biogeography, 19 , 134–143) metrics of species replacement and nestedness to assess their overall significance with differences in depth and particulate organic carbon ( POC ) flux to the seafloor. We used M....
Aim We conduct a nested analysis of bathymetric distributions in neogastropods to test the hypothesis that bathyal and abyssal populations represent a source–sink system. Abyssal assemblages are predicted to be significantly nested subsets of bathyal assemblages, and to be characterized by low density, which drives extinction, and a high incidence of species with larval dispersal for continued immigration to maintain diversity...
Bathymetric patterns of deep‐sea gastropod species diversity in 10 basins of the Atlantic Ocean and Norwegian SeaNARA Subscribed
Bathymetric patterns of macrofaunal species diversity are best documented in the western North Atlantic where diversity is a unimodal function of depth, peaking in the mid‐bathyal zone and being depressed in the upper slope and abyss. There are few inter‐basin studies of diversity‐depth trends that are controlled for taxonomy, sampling gear, and diversity measures. In this paper, we compare gastropod diversity gradients in the...
