Assessments and Conservation of Biological Diversity from Coral Reefs to the Deep Sea examines various marine benthic habitats around the world that are all linked by their physical location of lying at the bottom of our oceans. Although encompassing three quarters of the earth’s surface area, many benthic habitats are relatively unexplored due to their extreme depths. They can display extreme topographical relief, from stretches of shallow reefs to the top of seamounts to the deepest hadal trenches. Biologically built reefs depend on the patient and steady accretion via invertebrate lifestyles. These deep-sea ecosystems and their species face unprecedented threats of destruction and extinction due to factors including climate change; this book provides the most current knowledge of this undersea world and solutions for its conservation. Written by a leading global expert in benthic and conservation studies, this book approaches deep sea marine biodiversity with perspectives on genetics, microbiology, and evolution, weaving a narrative of vital expert linkages with the goal of protecting something that most people cannot witness or experience. It provides a full assessment of biological diversity within benthic habitats, from coral reefs to plankton and fish species, and offers case studies from around the world to demonstrate conservation threats and potential solutions. Assessments and Conservation of Biological Diversity from Coral Reefs to the Deep Sea is the ideal resource for marine conservationists and biologists aiming to expand their knowledge and efforts to the rarely seen, yet equally important, realms of the ocean and respective benthic species. Compares and contrasts between shallow and marine habitats to reveal revolutionary connections and continuity Analyzes modern threats and gaps in biological knowledge regarding benthic communities Examines benthic biodiversity through vertical versus horizontal gradients
