The trophic biology of the holothurian Molpadia musculus: implications for orga...
Amaro, T; Bianchelli, S; Billett, DSM; Cunha, MR; Pusceddu, A; Danovaro, RMegafaunal organisms play a key role in ecosystem functioning in the deep-sea through bioturbation, bioirrigation and organic matter cycling. At 3500 m water depth in the Nazar, Canyon, NE Atlantic, very high abundances of the infaunal holothurian Molpadia musculus were observed. To quantify the role of M. musculus in sediment cycling, sediment samples and holothurians were collected using an ROV and in situ ex...
Europe's Grand Canyon Nazaré Submarine Canyon
Tyler, P; Amaro, T; Arzola, R; Cunha, MR; de Stigter, H; Gooday, A; Huvenne, V; Ingels, J; Kiriakoulakis, K; Lastras, G; Masson, D; Oliveira, AThe Nazare submarine canyon extends similar to 210 km westward from the coast of Portugal, down to a water depth of > 4300 m. The considerable habitat heterogeneity found throughout the canyon is affected by strong currents and high turbidity, especially in the upper parts of the canyon. The canyon morphology comprises steep slopes, scarps, terraces, and overhangs, and a deeply incised thalweg is found in the l...
