Patchiness of the megabenthos at small scales: Ecological conclusions by examples from polar shelves

With two exceptions, no general patterns of patchiness of the megabenthos were found on the Antarctic shelf and off northeast Greenland. Underwater videos were used as a sampling method and Morisita's Index of Dispersion for statistical analysis. A gradient from randomness to patchiness occurre...
