Large deep-sea zooplankton biomass mirrors primary production in the global ocean

Nature Communications, 2020
Zooplankton biomass in the dark ocean is thought to be low and weakly coupled to epipelagic primary production, but recent evidence suggests otherwise.

Dietary partitioning mediates species coexistence in the high seas area of northwest Pacific

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Niche partitioning, manifesting along various axes of the ecological niche, is a fundamental mechanism mediating species coexistence in a system. However, the emergence of many species in marine ecosystems would face considerable constraints in achieving coexistence through spatiotemporal differentiation mechanisms under the framework of niche ...

Substantial Biogeochemical and Biomolecular Processing of Dissolved Organic Matter in an Anticyclonic Eddy in the Northern South China Sea Down to Bathypelagic Depths

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Solid-phase extracted dissolved organic matter (SPE-DOM) was isolated from two depth profiles at the core and at the edge of an anticyclonic eddy (ACE) in the northern South China Sea.

Viruses in the sediments around the trenches harbor diverse survival mechanisms

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Deep‐sea trenches are the deepest and most isolated environments in the global ocean but the diversity and adaptation of the viral communities remain poorly characterized. In this study, 5563 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified from sediments of the Yap Trench and Western Caroline Basin.

Biomineral Formation in the Subtropical South Pacific: Insights From Major Ions and Carbonate Chemistry Along GEOTRACES Section GP21

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The South Pacific Ocean (SPO) hosts diverse biogeographical environments including the productive Peru‐Chile upwelling region and ultra‐oligotrophic subtropical gyre; however, vast areas are understudied regarding the cycling of dissolved calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr), and distribution of major biomineral‐forming pelagic marine organisms ...

Deep‐pelagic fishes: Demographic instability in a stable environment

Ecology and Evolution
Demographic histories are frequently a product of the environment, as populations expand or contract in response to major environmental changes, often driven by changes in climate.

Depth-driven patterns in lytic viral diversity, auxiliary metabolic gene content, and productivity in offshore oligotrophic waters

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionMarine viruses regulate microbial population dynamics and biogeochemical cycling in the oceans. The ability of viruses to manipulate hosts’ metabolism through the expression of viral auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) was recently highlighted ...

Effects of Body Size and Environmental Region on the Nutritional Value of Small Pelagic Species in the California Current

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 722-736, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the effects of regional environment and body size on the nutritional traits of five small pelagic species differing in habitat use, feeding behavior, and importance as prey for top predators in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME).
