Ecological role of benthic Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) indicator taxa on soft bottoms

Ecological role of benthic Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) indicator taxa on soft bottoms

Abstract Several aspects of the relationships between VME indicator taxa and associated fauna have been previously explored mainly on rocky habitat respect the soft bottom. However, the soft bottom hosts many VMEs indicator taxa for which the ecological role remained still unexplored. This habitat h...
