Table_2_Nematode communities along a bathymetric transect in the deep eastern Fram Strait (Arctic Ocean): interrelations between diversity, function and environment.xlsx
As an expansion of a time-series study on meiobenthos in the Arctic deep sea, the diversity of free-living nematode communities along nine stations along a bathymetric transect was investigated morphologically in taxonomic and functional regards (feeding-type composition, life-history traits, tail-s...

As an expansion of a time-series study on meiobenthos in the Arctic deep sea, the diversity of free-living nematode communities along nine stations along a bathymetric transect was investigated morphologically in taxonomic and functional regards (feeding-type composition, life-history traits, tail-shape composition) and compared with previous studies of the same transect to investigate possible changes in the nematode community composition. Special emphasis was given on the analysis of sedimentary environmental parameters, which are used as proxies for food availability and sediment porosity. Multivariate statistics performed on nematode abundance data revealed a bathymetric zonation into four bathymetric zones: upper bathyal (1300 – 2000 m), lower bathyal (2500 - 3500 m), abyssal (5100 – 5600 m) and an additional ‘outgroup’ consisting of two stations with low nematode densities. Nematode densities generally decreased with increasing depth. Taxonomic diversity (EG (50) , H’ (log2) , J’) decreased in a unimodal pattern peaking in the lower bathyal zone.
