4. PHYSICAL CONTROLS ON CORAL COMMUNITIES ON THE GEORGE V LAND SLOPE: SOME WORKING HYPOTHESES

   Abstract:  Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The challenge is now to understand their likely distribution. The CEAMARC survey of 2007/2008 found these communities at sites on the

5. ANTARCTIC-WIDE GEOMORPHOLOGY AS AN AID TO HABITAT MAPPING AND LOCATING VULNERABLE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS

   Abstract:  Publicly available bathymetry and geophysical data can be used to map geomorphic features of the Antarctic continental margin and adjoining ocean basins at scales of 1:1-5 million. These data can also be used to map likely locations for some Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems. Seamounts over a

6. A DATABASE OF LIFE-HISTORY ATTRIBUTES FOR HABITAT-FORMING BENTHIC TAXA

   Abstract:  A global database of life-history characteristics, including growth rate, age, maximum size and reproductive parameters, was established for benthic, habitat-forming taxa and associated physical and chemical variables, including depth, temperature, oxygen concentration, salinity and

7. IDENTIFYING TAXONOMIC GROUPS AS VULNERABLE TO BOTTOM LONGLINE FISHING GEAR IN THE ROSS SEA REGION

   Abstract:  Implementing measures to avoid significant adverse impacts to vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) requires a specific list of the taxa that are considered vulnerable. New Zealand identified an interim list of taxa to monitor in fishery bycatch in the Ross Sea as part of its 2008 benthic

8. 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

10. 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
