Which of temperature or food is more important for the richness of deep-sea animals? Dr Moriaki YASUHARA from the School of Biological Sciences, the Research Division for Ecology & Biodiversity, and The Swire Institute of Marine Science, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), in collaborating with Hideyuki DOI from University of Hyogo and Masayuki USHIO from Kyoto University, used long-term fossil dataset and novel statistical method to detect causality and found climate control of deep-sea biodiversity.
Deep-sea cover >90 % of the ocean. So, understanding biodiversity drivers in deep-sea is critically important to project future changes in the function of Earth’s ocean system. Recently, two main factors of the deep-sea biodiversity control have been actively debated, which are (1) food supply via marine snow (aka sinking particulate org
