8. BarEcoRe Data Analysis Workshop – 22-24 March 2011 Spatial structure of bottom communities in the Barents Sea: integrating information from fish, benthos and the environment Key Questions 1) Are there similar patterns in the large scale spatial structure of fish and benthos communities in the Barents Sea? 2) Are the same environmental factors driving variations in fish and benthos community structures, resulting in coherent patterns between these groups? Working group 1

9. BarEcoRe Data Analysis Workshop – 22-24 March 2011 Functional diversity of fish (and benthos) communities in the Barents Sea. Key Questions What is the potential adaptability* of the Barents Sea fish (and benthos) communities to changing environmental conditions. *in this context, functional diversity is used as an indicator of adaptability. Working group 2
