ABSTRACT Understanding the diversity of our oceans is fundamental now more than ever as climate change and human activities put increasing pressure on marine species and ecosystems. Beaked whales (family Ziphiidae) are among the most poorly understood marine mammals, in part due to their affinity to offshore underwater canyons and prolonged diving ...

Microbial Controls on Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Cycling During Long‐Term Degradation Experiments
Abstract Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is critical for marine microbial growth by providing carbon and nitrogen. Although DON is rapidly cycled, some compounds within this pool can persist for long‐periods of time. To better understand how DON is cycled by marine microorganisms, we conducted 548‐day incubations using surface‐derived dissolved ...

Diel vertical distribution of copepods during spring in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
Vertical migration is a rather complex behavior by which multiple species of different sizes move from the meso- and bathy-pelagic zones, where they reside during day to avoid predators, to the epipelagic zone for feeding.

The Deep‐Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators
Deep‐sea predator foraging is shaped by prey richness, accessibility, and density. Using eDNA and acoustics, we mapped fish and cephalopod communities across inshore‐offshore gradients around the Azores in foraging habitats of three co‐occurring deep‐diving toothed whales.

Prokaryotic abundance and heterotrophic metabolism in the deep Mediterranean Sea
A synthesis of field data carried out in the Mediterranean Sea are presented, aimed at contributing to the knowledge of three prokaryotic-mediated processes and their implications on the Carbon cycle.

Active Versus Passive eDNA Sampling Across Depths at a Tropical Fish‐Aggregating Device (FAD)
Sampling at a fish aggregating device over three consecutive days using active and passive samplers detected a total of 39 fish operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Of these, 25 OTUs were shared between the two sampling approaches. The composition of detected OTUs varied among days and between sampler types.

Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...

Abstract Between 9 June and 6 July 2023 a SeaExplorer glider equipped with an Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP6), surveyed frontal structures between a cyclonic and two anticyclonic eddies in the Northeast Atlantic as part of the APERO cruise (Assessing marine biogenic matter Production, Export and Remineralization: from the surface to the dark Ocean ...
