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 ... -
Long-term Observations Reveal Environmental Conditions and Food Supply Mechanisms at an Arctic Deep-Sea Sponge Ground
Hanz, Ulrike; Roberts, Emyr Martyn; Duineveld, Gerard; Davies, Andrew; van Haren, Hans; Rapp, Hans Tore; Reichart, Gert-Jan; Mienis, Furu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Deep-sea sponge grounds are hotspots of benthic biomass and diversity. To date, very limited data exist on the range of environmental conditions in areas containing deep-sea sponge grounds and which factors are driving ... -
On giant shoulders: how a seamount affects the microbialcommunity composition of seawater and sponges
Busch, Kathrin; Hanz, Ulrike; Mienis, Furu; Mueller, Benjamin; Franke, Andre; Roberts, Emyr Martyn Tomas; Rapp, Hans Tore; Hentschel, Ute (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Seamounts represent ideal systems to study the influence and interdependency of environmental gradients at a single geographic location. These topographic features represent a prominent habitat for various forms of life, ... -
Seasonal Variability in Near-bed Environmental Conditions in the Vazella pourtalesii Glass Sponge Grounds of the Scotian Shelf
Hanz, Ulrike; Beazley, Lindsay; Kenchington, Ellen; Duineveld, Gerard; Rapp, Hans Tore; Mienis, Furu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Scotian Shelf harbors unique aggregations of the glass sponge Vazella pourtalesii that provides an important habitat for benthic and pelagic fauna.
