Delineating Marine Planktonic Habitats Through the Biogeochemical‐Argo Array Data
Abstract Phytoplankton play a crucial role in regulating marine biogeochemical pathways but studying their spatial and temporal dynamics often requires extensive and laborious oceanographic expeditions. Here, we report a novel use of Biogeochemical‐Argo data to delineate planktonic habitats in the Tropical North Atlantic Ocean (TNA).

Long-term changes in the diel vertical migration behaviour of zooplankton
Samples historically collected and analysed by the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey were used to examine long-term (1958 to 1994) patterns in the normal diel vertical migration (NDVM) behaviour of 7 copepod taxa in the North Sea: Calanus finmarchicus ...

Controls on Seasonal Atmosphere‐Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Exchanges in a Temperate Salt Marsh
We quantified net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide in a Spartina alterniflora salt marsh on the eastern shore of Virginia using eddy‐covariance measurements from March 2016 to February 2017. Peak carbon dioxide uptake occurred during summer, with tidal inundation reducing both daytime assimilation and nighttime respiration, while diffuse light ...

A comparison between two studies on diel vertical migration of two cyclopoid copepod species, in Lake Monte Alegre, undertaken in 1985/86 and 1999, revealed a change in their migratory behavior.

Hidden Bioavailable Dissolved Organic Matter in the Deep Northwestern Pacific Ocean
Abstract The deep ocean is widely viewed as a stable reservoir of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) that is highly resistant to microbial degradation. However, this paradigm may be oversimplified. In a cross‐latitude survey conducted in the northwestern Pacific Ocean (155°E, 28.5°N–41.5°N), bulk DOC concentrations were found to be relatively constant ...

Effects of seasonal change on activity rhythms and swimming behavior of age-0 bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) and a description of gliding behavior [PDF]
Daily and seasonal activity rhythms, swimming speed, and modes of swimming were studied in a school of spring-spawned age-0 bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) for nine months in a 121-kL research aquarium.

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.

Variability in supply and cross-shelf transport of pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum) postlarvae into western Florida Bay [PDF]
The variability in the supply of pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum) postlarvae and the transport mechanisms of planktonic stages were investigated with field data and simulations of transport.
