Food limitation and growth in temperate epipelagic appendicularians (Tunicata) [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2003 Through an extensive review of reports on appendicularian ecology, we have developed a set of equations on the feeding, metabolic and growth rates of temperate epipelagic appendicularian species. We have used these equations to study the conditions in which these species are likely to ex- perience food-limited growth.

Dive behaviour and foraging effort of female Cape fur seals Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 While marine top predators can play a critical role in ecosystem structure and dynamics through their effects on prey populations, how the predators function in this role is often not well understood.

Diving deep into the origins of refractory dissolved amino acids in the ocean
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Amino acids are key constituents of marine peptides and proteins and are generally considered biologically labile or semi‐labile, yet their widespread occurrence throughout the ocean suggests bioresistance over extended timescales. To investigate this paradox, we conducted two parallel shipboard incubation experiments to track microbial ...

Strong Purifying Selection Is Associated with Genome Streamlining in Epipelagic Marinimicrobia
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 Abstract Marine microorganisms inhabiting nutrient-depleted waters play critical roles in global biogeochemical cycles due to their abundance and broad distribution. Many of these microbes share similar genomic features including small genome size, low % G + C content, short intergenic regions, and low nitrogen content in encoded ...

Zooplankton vertical stratification in the East-pacific and Indian sectors of the Southern Ocean
Frontiers in Marine ScienceIntroductionIn the Southern Ocean, the large-scale distribution of zooplankton, including their abundance and community composition from the epipelagic to the upper bathypelagic layers, remains poorly understood.

Fishes, 2023 Artificial reefs (ARs) have been advocated for and implemented as management tools for recreational fisheries, species conservation, and habitat replacement; however, the research that includes attracting marine species of floating ARs remains in its ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Cephalopods play crucial roles in marine ecosystems due to their diverse and indispensable contributions to trophic webs. However, parasitological research on cephalopods remains limited in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), despite the commercial significance of certain squid species and the zoonotic potential of the parasites within them. This study aimed to

Frontiers in Marine ScienceEuphausiids, commonly known as krill, are crucial contributors to the ocean’s active carbon pump, impacting carbon export and sequestration through their diel vertical migration. These organisms feed on organic matter in the epipelagic layer at night and

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.Protein sequence surveys show that nickel‐ and molybdenum/copper‐containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs) are widespread in the ocean. Phylogenetic and genome context analyses reveal that marine CODHs are highly diverse in both evolutionary history and functional organisation.
