Copepod community structure and physiological rates shape the biological pump during early North Atlantic spring bloom

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Zooplankton plays an important role in the biological carbon pump, and zooplankton biomass and community structure can have a large influence on the sedimentation/remineralization balance of the water column. We investigated the potential effects of zooplankton community structure and eco‐physiology on the export and attenuation of vertical ...

Temporal Stability of Genetic Structure in a Mesopelagic Copepod

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2015
Although stochasticity in oceanographic conditions is known to be an important driver of temporal genetic change in many marine species, little is known about whether genetically distinct plankton populations can persist in open ocean habitats. A prior study demonstrated significant population genetic structure among oceanic gyres in the mesopelagic ...

The Vertical and Horizontal Distribution of Deep-Sea Crustaceans in the Order Euphausiacea in the Vicinity of the DeepWater Horizon Oil Spill

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The vertical and horizontal distributions of Euphausiacea in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM), including the location of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, were analyzed from 340 trawl samples collected between April and June 2011. This study is the first

Abundant interactions and feedbacks between aquatic deoxygenation and the other planetary boundaries suggest “unsafe” levels of oxygen loss with far‐reaching impacts

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Oxygen is critical for nearly all life on Earth, including aquatic species that breathe dissolved oxygen in both freshwater and marine systems. The rapid, global, and anthropogenic loss of dissolved oxygen known as “aquatic deoxygenation” threatens life in these environments, the human communities that depend on them, and Earth system ...

Insights into biotic and abiotic modulation of ocean mesopelagic communities

open access: yes, 2022
Marine plankton mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse gases, modulate biogeochemical cycles, and provide fishery resources. Plankton is distributed across a stratified ecosystem of sunlit surface waters and a vast, though understudied, mesopelagic ‘dark ...

Particulate Cadmium Accumulation in the Mesopelagic Ocean

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles
AbstractObservations of dissolved cadmium (dCd) and phosphate (PO4) suggest an unexplained loss of dCd to the particulate phase in tropical oxyclines. Here, we compile existing observations of particulate Cd and phosphorus (P), and present new data from the US GEOTRACES GP15 Pacific Meridional Transect to examine this phenomenon from a particulate Cd ...

Exploitation of mesopelagic fish stocks can impair the biological pump and food web dynamics in the ocean

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The demand for marine living resources is increasing at an unprecedented scale because of the need for continuous food provision to the world’s population. The potential of already exploited fish stocks to meet this demand is limited.

Prokaryotic responses to ammonium and organic carbon reveal alternative CO2 fixation pathways and importance of alkaline phosphatase in the mesopelagic North Atlantic

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
To decipher the response of mesopelagic prokaryotic communities to input of nutrients, we tracked changes in prokaryotic abundance, extracellular enzymatic activities, heterotrophic production, dark dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fixation, community ...

Early spring mesopelagic carbon remineralization and transfer efficiency in the naturally iron-fertilized Kerguelen area [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2015
We report on the zonal variability of mesopelagic particulate organic carbon remineralization and deep carbon transfer potential during the Kerguelen Ocean and Plateau compared Study 2 expedition (KEOPS 2; October–November 2011) in an area of the polar ...
