The flow of detritus between habitats is an important form of connectivity that affects regional
productivity and the spatial organization of marine ecosystems. Kelps form highly productive …

The deep sea is often viewed as a vast, dark, remote, and inhospitable environment, yet the
deep ocean and seafloor are crucial to our lives through the services that they provide. Our …

Until recently, the deep continental margins (200–4,000 m) were perceived as monotonous
mud slopes of limited ecological or environmental concern. Progress in seafloor map** …

Large organic food falls to the deep sea–such as whale carcasses and wood logs–are
known to serve as step** stones for the dispersal of highly adapted chemosynthetic …

Resource subsidies in the form of allochthonous primary production drive secondary
production in many ecosystems, often sustaining diversity and overall productivity. Despite …

Multiple hypotheses have emerged to explain the apparent paradox of high diversity of the
deep‐sea benthos when the environmental conditions are often predicted to inhibit rather …

Kelp forests worldwide are known as hotspots for macroscopic biodiversity and primary
