1. DETECTION OF COLD SEEPS AND HYDROTHERMAL VENTS

   Abstract:  Cold seeps and hydrothermal vents can be detected by a number of oceanographic and geophysical techniques as well as the recovery of characteristic organisms. While the definitive identification of a seep or vent and its accompanying fauna is seldom unequivocal without significant effort

2. PREDICTING THE VULNERABILITY OF BRYOZOANS AND SPONGES TO DISTURBANCE USING LIFE-HISTORY CHARACTERISTICS

   Abstract:  Following on from earlier analyses presented to WG-EMM, meta-analyses of life-history characteristics and their relationships with physical and chemical variables were undertaken for habitat-forming invertebrates other than cnidarians. Particular focus was placed on bryozoans and sponges

5. PREDICTING SPECIES DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MUSEUM AND HERBARIUM RECORDS USING MULTI-RESPONSE MODELS FITTED WITH MULTIVARIATE ADAPTIVE REGRESSION SPLINES

   Abstract:  Current circumstances — that the majority of species distribution records exist as presence-only data (e.g. from museums and herbaria), and that there is an established need for predictions of species distributions — mean that scientists and conservation managers seek to develop robust

6. USING GENERALIZED DISSIMILARITY MODELLING TO ANALYSE AND PREDICT PATTERNS OF BETA DIVERSITY IN REGIONAL BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENT

   Abstract:  Generalized dissimilarity modelling (GDM) is a statistical technique for analysing and predicting spatial patterns of turnover in community composition (beta diversity) across large regions. The approach is an extension of matrix regression, designed specifically to accommodate two types

7. VARIATION IN DEMERSAL FISH SPECIES RICHNESS IN THE OCEANS SURROUNDING NEW ZEALAND: AN ANALYSIS USING BOOSTED REGRESSION TREES

   Abstract:  We analysed relationships between demersal fish species richness, environment and trawl characteristics using an extensive collection of trawl data from the oceans around New Zealand. Analyses were carried out using both generalised additive models and boosted regression trees (sometimes

8. RESPONSE OF ANTARCTIC BENTHIC COMMUNITIES TO DISTURBANCE: WRST RESULTS FROM THE ARTIWCIAL BENTHIC DISTURBANCE EXPERIMENT ON THE EASTERN WEDDELL SEA SHELF, ANTARCTICA

   Abstract:  The long-term benthic disturbance experiment (BENDEX) was started on the eastern Weddell Sea shelf off Austasen (Antarctica) during ‘Polarstern’ cruise ANT XXI/2 in December 2003 to simulate the impact of grounding icebergs on the seabed and follow the steps and timescales of recovery of
