Abstract Floating Offshore Wind Farms (FOWFs) are the most promising renewable energy
resource. Floating turbines are installed at progressively increasing water depths, interacting …

With increasing demand for mineral resources, extraction of polymetallic sulphides at
hydrothermal vents, cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts at seamounts, and polymetallic …

Seamounts are globally distributed across the oceans and form one of the major oceanic
biomes. Here, we utilized combined analyses of bulk metagenome and virome to study viral …

Seamounts are ecological oases nurturing abundant fisheries resources and epibenthic
megafauna in the vast oligotrophic ocean. Despite their significance, the formation …

" There are more coral species in deep, cold-waters than in tropical coral reefs. This broad-
ranging treatment is the first to synthesise current understanding of all types of cold-water …

More than 230,000 known species representing 31 metazoan phyla populate the world's
oceans. Perhaps another 1,000,000 or more species remain to be discovered. There is …

In this review of seamount ecology, we address a number of key scientific issues concerning
the structure and function of benthic communities, human impacts, and seamount …

Seamounts and knolls are 'undersea mountains', the former rising more than 1000m from
the seafloor. These features provide important habitats for aquatic predators, demersal deep …

Seamounts are one of the major biomes of the global ocean. The last 25 years of research
has seen considerable advances in the understanding of these ecosystems. The …

Aim Globally, species distribution patterns in the deep sea are poorly resolved, with spatial
coverage being sparse for most taxa and true absence data missing. Increasing human …
