Aim We conduct the first model-based assessment of biogeographical subdivision Eurasian Arctic seas to (1) delineate spatial distribution and boundaries macrobenthic communities on a seascape level; (2) assess significance environmental drivers community structures; (3) compare our modelling results historical classifications; (4) couple model climate scenarios changes project potential shifts ...

In sub-tropical and tropical regions, the diversity patterns of soft-sediment macrobenthic communities are still poorly understood, particularly when compared to temperate shelf environments. The present study investigates spatial variability in distribution along eastern Red Sea margin, role sediment composition other explanatory variables determining such patterns. This has two main objective...
