Patterns of Deep-Sea Genetic Connectivity in the New Zealand Region: Implications for Management of Benthic Ecosystems

Notes how patterns of genetic connectivity are increasingly considered in the design of marine protected areas (MPAs) in both shallow and deep water. Looks at how, in the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), deep-sea communities at upper bathyal depths (2000 m) are vulnerable to anthropogenic...
