Submarine canyons are major geomorphic features of continental margins around the world.
Several recent multidisciplinary projects focused on the study of canyons have considerably …

Extreme marine environments cover more than 50% of the Earth's surface and offer many
opportunities for investigating the biological responses and adaptations of organisms to …

With knowledge of typical hydrodynamic behavior of waste plastic material, models
predicting the dispersal of benthic plastics from land sources within the ocean are possible …

Marine litter is of global concern and is present in all the world's oceans, including deep
benthic habitats where the extent of the problem is still largely unknown. Litter abundance …

Societal concerns over the potential impacts of recent global change have prompted
renewed interest in the long-term ecological monitoring of large ecosystems. The deep sea …

The hadal zone largely comprises a series of subduction trenches that do not form part of the
continental shelf-slope rise to abyssal plain continuum. Instead they form geographically …

This paper presents the first compilation of information on the spatial distribution of
scleractinian cold-water corals in the Gulf of Cádiz based on literature research and own …

The continental margins, regarded here as the ribbon of sea floor from 200 to 4000 m water
depth between the shelf and the abyss, offer some of the most variable terrain in the ocean …

The map** of biodiversity on continental margins on landscape scales is highly relevant to
marine spatial planning and conservation. Submarine canyons are widespread topographic …

The macrofaunal assemblages from three Portuguese submarine canyons, Nazaré, Cascais
and Setúbal were studied from samples collected at their upper (900–1000m), middle (3200 …
