Shelf seas are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth, playing important roles in nutrient cycling, climate regulation, and food production. Benthic macroinvertebrates are key components of these ecosystems, forming an important and highly diverse component of marine food webs, with organisms from multiple phyla interacting in complex communities. Benthic invertebrates are also sensitive to a range of environmental and anthropogenic stressors, and are useful indicators of environmental change. The aim of this project is to mobilise new data products and computational capabilities to better quantify how benthic communities vary in time and space, across multiple dimensions of diversity (taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic), in response to environmental and anthropogenic drivers.

货架海是地球上生产力最高的生态系统之一，在养分循环，气候调节和粮食生产中起着重要作用。底栖大型无脊椎动物是这些生态系统的关键组成部分，构成了海洋食品网的重要组成部分，并在复杂社区中具有来自多个门的生物体。底栖无脊椎动物也对一系列环境和人为应激源敏感，并且是环境变化的有用指标。该项目的目的是动员新的数据产品和计算能力，以更好地量化底栖群落在多样性（分类学，功能和系统发育）的多个维度上如何在时间和空间上变化，以响应环境和人为驱动因素。
