Functional and Trophic Structuring of Micronektonic Fishes in the Northeast Atlantic [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sharp vertical gradients structure the functional and trophic organization of mesopelagic micronektonic fishes, driving a transition from migratory, surface‐linked assemblages in upper layers (0–700 m) to resident communities adapted to deep, low‐light environments (> 700 m).

Prokaryotic Novelty and Metabolic Diversity in the Tagoro Shallow Hydrothermal System (Canary Islands, Spain) [PDF]

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hydrothermal activity at the Tagoro submarine volcano shapes distinct epipelagic and benthic prokaryotic communities. Microbial diversity decreases towards vent sources, yet novel taxa dominate and potentially contribute to iron, nitrogen, sulphur and methane cycling in this shallow hydrothermal system with high unexplored microbial diversity ...

Vertical distribution of zooplankton in the epipelagic zone off Sharm El-Sheikh, Red Sea, Egypt

Oceanologia, 2012
The purpose of the present study was to track the seasonal vertical distribution of zooplankton abundance in the epipelagic zone off Sharm El-Sheikh, Red Sea. Zooplankton samples were collected seasonally within the depth ranges of 0-25, 25-50, 50-75, 75-

Pelagic cnidarian assemblages show range-edge effect at the boundary of ocean surface, as illustrated in the case of the Amazon River Plume. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The neuston layer represents a complex community inhabiting the interface where oceanographic and atmospheric processes interact. Here, our aim was to compare patterns in the distribution and abundance of cnidarian assemblages observed in the neuston to ...

The Open-Ocean Gulf of Mexico After Deepwater Horizon: Synthesis of a Decade of Research

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The scale of the Deepwater Horizon disaster was and is unprecedented: geographic extent, pollutant amount, countermeasure scope, and of most relevance to this Research Topic issue, range of ecotypes affected.

Interannual summer biodiversity changes in ichthyoplankton assemblages of the Strait of Sicily (Central Mediterranean) over the period 2001–2016

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Interannual fluctuations in the structure and the composition of ichthyoplankton assemblages in the pelagic waters of the Strait of Sicily (SoS, Central Mediterranean) were investigated, trying to relate them to the observed variability in oceanographic ...

Assemblage Structure of Larval Fishes in Epipelagic and Mesopelagic Waters of the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The early life stages of fishes play a critical role in pelagic food webs and oceanic carbon cycling, yet little is known about the taxonomic composition and distribution of larval fishes in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) below the epipelagic (<200
