Adult and offspring size in the ocean over 17 orders of magnitude follows two life history strategies [PDF]

, 2015
Explaining variability in offspring vs. adult size among groups is a necessary step to determine the evolutionary and environmental constraints shaping variability in life history strategies.

Acoustic Observations Unveil Seasonal Fluctuations and Regulation of Zooplankton Biomass and Its Vertical Distribution at a Mid‐Latitude Long‐Term Ocean Observatory

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Zooplanktonic organisms are considered a key link between different trophic levels. The ecosystem structure and dynamics are affected by changes in their population and phenology. In this work, the causes and timing of changes within the seasonal cycle of zooplankton biomass vertical distribution in oceanic waters of the Bay of Biscay were ...

Net phytoplankton and zooplankton in the New York Bight, January 1976 to February 1978, with comments on the effects of wind, Gulf Stream eddies, and slope water intrusions [PDF]

, 1984
Results are given of monthly net phytoplankton and zooplankton sampling from a 10 m depth in shelf, slope, and Gulf Stream eddy water along a transect running southeastward from Ambrose Light, New York, in 1976, 1977, and early 1978.

Horizontal and vertical distribution of mesozooplankton species richness and composition down to 2,300 m in the southwest Atlantic Ocean

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2014
We describe the species richness, distribution and composition of mesozooplankton over the continental shelf and slope, and in the water masses in the Campos Basin, southwest Atlantic Ocean. We analyzed the mesozooplankton from two oceanographic cruises (

Food habits and dietary variability of pelagic nekton off Oregon and Washington, 1979-1984 [PDF]

, 1987
The food habits of 20 species of pelagic nekton were investigated from collections made with small-mesh purse seines from 1979-84 off Washington and Oregon. Four species (spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias; soupfin shark, Galeorhinus zyopterus; blue shark,

Biomass‐to‐volume ratio as a central continuous functional trait for marine zooplankton

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 2673-2687, September 2025.
Abstract Gelatinous zooplankton are an important component of many ecosystems and important for ecosystem structure and carbon cycling. However, this group is generally not considered in biogeochemical models. Here we investigate the biomass‐to‐volume ratio as an underappreciated “master trait” that allows for the incorporation of a large diversity of ...

Systematic sequencing of mRNA from the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and first tissue specific transcriptional signature

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Little is known about the genome sequences of Euphausiacea (krill) although these crustaceans are abundant components of the pelagic ecosystems in all oceans and used for aquaculture and pharmaceutical industry.

Seasonal Changes of Size Spectra of the Benguela Offshore Mesopelagic Ecosystem Compartment in Relation to Primary Production

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Seasonal differences in marine size spectra of micronekton at the shelf‐ocean interface of the northern (NBUS) and southern Benguela upwelling system (SBUS) in Feb–Mar 2019 and Sep–Oct 2021 were analysed for mesopelagic fishes and total micronekton, the latter also including invertebrates.
