    • Beyond the tip of the seamount: Distinct megabenthic communities found beyond the charismatic summit sponge ground on an arctic seamount (Schulz Bank, Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge) 

      Meyer, Heidi Kristina; Davies, A.J.; Roberts, Emyr Martyn; Xavier, Joana R.; de Azevedo Ribeiro, Pedro Miguel; Glenner, Henrik; Birkely, sten richard; Rapp, Hans Tore (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Our understanding of the benthic communities on arctic seamounts and descriptions of such communities in habitat classification systems are limited. In recent years, Schulz Bank (73°52′N 7°30′E), a seamount on the Arctic ...

    • Biodiversity and spatial ecology of arctic sponge grounds in the Nordic Seas 

      Meyer, Heidi Kristina (Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-17)
      Sponge grounds are biogenic habitats formed by large structure-forming sponges in the deep-sea. They are biodiversity hotspots because they provide associated fauna a place of refuge, additional substratum, foraging areas, ...

    • Deep-sea sponge derived environmental DNA analysis reveals demersal fish biodiversity of a remote Arctic ecosystem 

      Brodnicke, Ole Bjørn; Meyer, Heidi Kristina; Busch, Kathrin; Xavier, Joana R.; Knudsen, Steen Wilhelm; Møller, Peter Daniel Rask; Hentschel, Ute Humeida; Sweet, Michael John (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The deep-sea is vast, remote, and largely underexplored. However, methodological advances in environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys could aid in the exploration efforts, such as using sponges as natural eDNA filters for studying ...

    • Drivers of Megabenthic Community Structure in One of the World’s Deepest Silled-Fjords, Sognefjord (Western Norway) 

      Meyer, Heidi Kristina; Roberts, Emyr Martyn; Mienis, Furu; Rapp, Hans Tore (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-09)
      The Sognefjord is the longest (205 km) and deepest (1308 m) fjord in Norway, and the second-longest in the world. Coast-fjord exchange in Sognefjord is limited by a seaward sill at 170 m water depth, which causes a clear ...

    • The emerging picture of a diverse deep Arctic Ocean seafloor: From habitats to ecosystems 

      Ramirez-Llodra, Eva; Meyer, Heidi Kristina; Bluhm, Bodil Annikki Ulla Barbro; Brix, Saskia; Brandt, Angelika; Dannheim, Jennifer; Downey, Rachel V.; Egilsdottir, Hrönn; Eilertsen, Mari Heggernes; Gaudron, Sylvie M.; Gebruk, Anna; Golikov, Alexey V.; Hasemann, Christiane; Hilário, Ana; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Kaiser, Stefanie; Korfhage, Severin A.; Kürzel, Karlotta; Lörz, Anne-Nina; Buhl-Mortensen, Pål; Olafsdottir, Steinunn H.; Piepenburg, Dieter; Purser, Autun; Ribeiro, Pedro A; Sen, Arunima; Soltwedel, Thomas; Stratmann, Tanja; Steger, Jan; Svavarsson, Jörundur; Tandberg, Anne Helene S.; Taylor, James; Theising, Franziska I; Uhlir, Carolin; Waller, Rhian G.; Xavier, Joana R.; Zhulay, Irina; Saaedi, Hanieh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Interest in the deep Arctic Ocean is rapidly increasing from governments, policy makers, industry, researchers, and conservation groups, accentuated by the growing accessibility of this remote region by surface vessel ...

    • The First Cut Is the Deepest: Trawl Effects on a Deep-Sea Sponge Ground Are Pronounced Four Years on 

      Morrison, Katelin M.; Meyer, Heidi Kristina; Roberts, Emyr Martyn; Rapp, Hans Tore; Colaço, Ana; Pham, Christopher K. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Few studies have described the effects of physical disturbance and post-recovery of deep-sea benthic communities. Here, we explore the status of deep-sea sponge ground communities four years after being impacted by an ...

    • Spatial patterns of arctic sponge ground fauna and demersal fish are detectable in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) imagery 

      Meyer, Heidi Kristina; Roberts, Emyr Martyn; Rapp, Hans Tore; Davies, Andrew J (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-10)
      Deep-sea sponge grounds are important habitats that provide several ecosystem services, yet relatively little is known about their distribution and ecology. While most surveys have focused on the broad-scale distribution ...
