Seamounts shape the topography of all ocean basins and can be hotspots of biological
activity in the deep sea. The Census of Marine Life on Seamounts (CenSeam) was a field …

Despite a relatively short history, the field of seamount ecology is rife with ecological
paradigms, many of which have already become cemented in the scientific literature and in …

The deep seafloor serves as a reservoir of biodiversity in the global ocean, with> 80% of
invertebrates at abyssal depths still undescribed. These diverse and remote deep‐sea …

Aim The benthic fauna of seamounts typically includes organisms that are slow‐growing,
long‐lived and sensitive to mechanical disturbance, making seamounts susceptible to …

GUIMARÃES, SMPB; SALGADO, LT; FRANCINI-FILHO, RB; BAHIA, RG; ABRANTES, DP; …

The mechanisms driving the ecology and biodiversity of seamount communities are still
unclear. Here we analyzed the distribution and species traits of reef fish species recorded …

Seamounts are isolated underwater mountains stretching> 1000 m above the seafloor. They
are identified as biodiversity hotspots of marine life, and host benthic assemblages that may …

Deep-water seamount ecosystems are sensitive to human activities and have a slow
recovery rate after being disturbed. Bottom trawling and potential deep-sea mineral …

Seamounts and oceanic islands rise from the seafloor and provide suitable habitat for a
diverse range of biological assemblages including Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) …

Abstract The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a large and geomorphologically complex feature
located in the Southwest Atlantic, with great commercial and scientific interest due to its …
