The importance of different spatial scales in determining structural and functional characteristics of deep-sea infauna communities

The urge to understand spatial distributions of species and communities and their causative processes has continuously instigated the development and testing of conceptual models in spatial ecology. For the deep sea, there is evidence that structural and functional characteristics of benthic communi...
