Brault S, Stuart CT, Wagstaff MC, Rex MA (2012). Geographic evidence for source-sink dynamics in deep-sea neogastropods of the eastern North Atlantic: an approach using nested analysis. Glob Ecol Biogeogr 22: 433−439.
We applied nested analysis to the neogastropod clade (Conoidae,Buccinidae, Muricidae) of the eastern North Atlantic. We compiled the dataset from Bouchet & Warén’s (1980, 1985) systematic revisions of deep-sea neogastropod taxa. The studies are based on material collected from 1315 trawls, taken over a region bounded on the west and east by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the European Continental Margin, and from the Azores northward to the Norwegian Sea. We used Baselga’s (2010, 2012) metric for beta diversity to distinguish dissimilarity due to nestedness from dissimilarity due to turnover in the bathymetric ranges. We used Rodríguez-Gironés and Santamaría’s (2006) BINMATNEST to test specifically for nestedness along a depth gradient.
