Omnivory by the Small Cosmopolitan Hydromedusa Aglaura Hemistoma [PDF]
We investigated the feeding of the small hydromedusa, Aglaura hemistoma (bell diameter \u3c 4 mm), to determine if it occupies a trophic position similar to that of large medusae.

Trophic relationships of zooplankton in the eastern Mediterranean based on stable isotope measurements [PDF]
Abundance and stable isotope composition of large and small mesozooplankton were analyzed in samples taken with 333 and 100 μm nets, respectively, at four sites in the eastern Mediterranean down to 4200 m depth in October 2001. Large mesozooplankton (333

Distribution of mesozooplankton biomass in the global ocean [PDF]
Abstract. Mesozooplankton are cosmopolitan within the sunlit layers of the global ocean. They are important in the classical food web, having a significant feedback to primary production through their consumption of phytoplankton and microzooplankton. They are also the primary contributor to vertical particle flux in the oceans.

Integrating functional diversity, food web processes, and biogeochemical carbon fluxes into a conceptual approach for modeling the upper ocean in a high-CO2 world [PDF]
Marine food webs influence climate by channeling carbon below the permanent pycnocline, where it can be sequestered. Because most of the organic matter exported from the euphotic zone is remineralized within the "upper ocean" (i.e., the water column ...

Critical knowledge gaps in the conservation and restoration of cold‐water corals
Abstract Introduction Critical knowledge gaps hamper effective conservation of threatened cold‐water coral (CWC) ecosystems, facing cumulative anthropogenic and climate pressures. This review provides a strategic roadmap for urgent, informed intervention.

Extensive dissolution of live pteropods in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
The carbonate chemistry of the surface ocean is rapidly changing with ocean acidification, a result of human activities. In the upper layers of the Southern Ocean, aragonite—a metastable form of calcium carbonate with rapid dissolution kinetics—may ...
