On the direct impact of ice on marine benthic communities, a review
J Gutt - Polar Biology, 2001 - Springer
Ice has a significant impact on the polar and sub-polar benthos, but relationships between
corresponding physical and biological processes are not yet sufficiently understood. Sea ice …

Quantification of iceberg impact and benthic recolonisation patterns in the Weddell Sea (Antarctica)
J Gutt, A Starmans - Polar Biology, 2001 - Springer
Video transects in the eastern Weddell Sea were used to classify the mega-epibenthos into
stages of recolonisation after iceberg impact and unaffected fauna. Three site categories …

Long-term monitoring reveals unprecedented stability of a vent mussel assemblage on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Understanding scales and drivers of ecological variability is essential to a full understanding
of ecosystem functioning. At remote deep-sea hydrothermal vents, infra-annual dynamics …

Scale‐dependent recruitment and divergence of intertidal communities
Sheltered rocky bays in the Gulf of Maine support communities usually dominated either by
the fucoid rockweed Ascophyllum nodosum or the mussel Mytilus edulis. In order to test …

Elucidating marine biogeography with macrophytes: quantitative analysis of the North Atlantic supports the thermogeographic model and demonstrates a distinct …
Abstract Quantitative analysis of North Atlantic macrophyte (seaweed) abundance was used
to test the thermogeographic model (TM) of marine biogeography. The TM uses coastal area …

Comparison of macroalgae meadows in warm Atlantic versus cold Arctic regimes in the high-Arctic Svalbard
A warmer Arctic with less sea ice will likely improve macroalgae growth conditions, but
observational data to support this hypothesis are scarce. In this study, we combined …
