	abstract = {Benthic samples were collected from 188 stations distributed over the Aegean and Ionian Seas (Greece, Eastern Mediterranean). Sampled substrata represented a variety of biotopes in soft bottoms with depths ranging from 3 to 380 m. The samples yielded a total of 398 species of polychaetes. Detrended Correspondence Analysis was applied to the whole set of data as well as to three bathymetric groups into which the data was divided. The results showed that in each bathymetric group, different factors determine the spatial distribution of species. Over the whole data set the type of substrata proved to be the major factor, whereas depth is the second most important. Other controlling factors were the substratum type and exposure to hydrodynamism in the shallow group, depth and substratum in the intermediate, and sediment granulometry and depth in the deep one. Diversity, species number and density tended to decrease with depth, while diversity and species number are favoured by coarse material in the sediment.},

	abstract = {The study of benthic macrofaunal communities along the NW coasts of Rodos (Rhodes) Island indicates that the area can be characterized as subtropical, with a high-energy hydrological regime. Of five stations sampled, 382 taxa were identified, some of special zoogeographic interest. The high diversity values observed are probably related to the rather coarse sediment (muddy sand) even in the deeper parts. No clear zonation of species composition was observed, while a very large number of rare species were found. Contribution of Lessepsian migrants to the benthic community composition is very low. Sorting coefficients of the sediment, depth, and hydrological conditions seem to play a synergistic role in the discrimination of benthic assemblages.},
