The Deepwater Horizon disaster resulted in the largest accidental marine oil spill in history and caused extensive injury to deep‐sea habitats, including cold‐water coral communities dominated by Paramuricea species. One of the primary difficulties in assessing the full extent of the injury to cold‐water coral ecosystems is the extreme paucity of observational data and the subsequent lack of knowledge of their distribution within the affected region. The aim of this study was to use habitat suitability modelling to estimate the number of potentially affected Paramuricea sp. corals across the northern Gulf of Mexico.

栖息地适应性建模,以预测受“深水地平线”溢油影响的冷水珊瑚群落的空间分布

深水地平线”灾难造成了历史上最大的意外海洋溢油事故,并对深海生境造成了广泛的伤害,包括以软藻属为主的冷水珊瑚群落。评估对冷水珊瑚生态系统的全面损害的主要困难之一是观测数据极度匮乏,并且随后缺乏对其在受灾地区的分布情况的了解。这项研究的目的是使用栖息地适应性模型来估计可能受影响的旁生菌数。横跨墨西哥湾北部的珊瑚。
