Despite growing knowledge on deep‐sea benthic fauna, patterns of changes in species composition combining both bathymetric and latitudinal variation are still poorly known. In the first synthesis on the beta diversity patterns of assemblages of hydroids across an entire ocean basin, our aim was to infer limits and gradients of species distribution along depth and latitude.

大西洋深部水合物（刺C）组合的组成沿深度和纬度的逐渐变化

尽管对深海底栖动物的认识不断提高，但仍很难了解结合测深和纬度变化的物种组成变化模式。在关于整个海洋盆地中水合物集合的β多样性模式的第一个综合中，我们的目的是推断物种在深度和纬度上的分布极限和梯度。
