The Deep‐Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Deep‐sea predator foraging is shaped by prey richness, accessibility, and density. Using eDNA and acoustics, we mapped fish and cephalopod communities across inshore‐offshore gradients around the Azores in foraging habitats of three co‐occurring deep‐diving toothed whales.

Depth-resolved particle associated microbial respiration in the northeast Atlantic [PDF]

, 2016
Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are tightly linked to the depth at which sinking particulate organic carbon (POC) is remineralised in the ocean. Rapid attenuation of downward POC flux typically occurs in the upper mesopelagic (top few hundred metres

Narrative Horizons: Deliberate Derangement in Oceanic Climate Fiction

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Although we live in the Anthropocene—the geological age of humankind, wherein humans have measurably impacted the biosphere—we struggle to narrate the Anthropocene. In particular, we struggle to give narrative shape to its foremost feature: anthropogenic climate change.

Temporal dynamics of mesopelagic fishes within a mesoscale eddy: A Lagrangian perspective

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale eddies are physically dynamic environments, yet biological responses within them are often treated as static, with eddy polarity (anticyclones vs. cyclones) serving as the dominant conceptual framework. Temporal dynamics of animals within eddies—particularly at mid‐trophic levels—remain largely unresolved.

Zooplankton diel vertical migration enhances carbon export via distinct mechanisms in a warming North Pacific

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM) is a crucial marine organism behavior modulating particulate organic carbon (POC) export, yet its dynamic role under climate change remains uncertain. Using a coupled physical–biogeochemical model, we assessed how DVM affects carbon export under future scenarios at two contrasting North Pacific sites ...

Life after death in the pelagic: Non‐predatory zooplankton mortality and the “ghost carbon pump”

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract The biological carbon pump is traditionally framed as a trophically mediated process in which zooplankton mortality is attributed mainly to predation, routing carbon through fecal pellets and higher trophic levels before export. Increasing evidence, however, shows that nonpredatory mortality—caused by different environmental stressors—accounts

An ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy system for studying real‐time pressure effects on enzyme activity

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...

Differential Drivers of Thermogenic and Bulk Dissolved Organic Matter in the Indian Ocean

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The oceanic dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool contains a substantial fraction of recalcitrant carbon, with thermogenic organic compounds representing a chemically distinct, long‐lived component. However, the distribution and transformation of these compounds remain poorly constrained in the Indian Ocean, a key basin of the global overturning

Mesopelagic fish off Mozambique [PDF]

, 1981
The mesopelagic fauna off Mozambique was studied on five cruises of R.V. "Dr. Fridtjof Nansen" during 1977 and 1978. It primarily consisted of Myctophids. At most stations, Benthosema fibulatum or Diaphus spp. were dominant.
