Biogeographical patterns in the deep ocean: environmental, biological, and historical drivers in the North Atlantic ...
In the last century, our perception of deep{sea environments has changed from being biological deserts to nding thriving and complex habitats teeming with biodiversity. Some deep{sea habitats, such as cold-water coral reefs, coral gardens and sponge grounds, are often inhabited by slow{growth, long{...

In the last century, our perception of deep{sea environments has changed from being biological deserts to nding thriving and complex habitats teeming with biodiversity. Some deep{sea habitats, such as cold-water coral reefs, coral gardens and sponge grounds, are often inhabited by slow{growth, long{lived, late{maturing species; traits that limit their potential for resilience and recovery from human pressures such as bottom{contact shing, climate change and, potentially in the future, deep{sea mining. These vulnerable species and habitats are recognised as in need of protective management and conservation measures, given their critical role in the functioning and services of the ocean and planet.
