文摘
- •
The relationship between ocean conditions and benthic megafauna is assessed.
- •
An ocean model is used to determine conditions over 10 years in the Barents Sea.
- •
Mean surface temperature was the best predictor of turnover in benthic megafauna.
- •
Oceanographic provinces (i.e., regions of similar conditions) are identified.
- •
Patterns in provinces were linked with their importance as predictor of turnover.
