Global Diversity of Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton

Abstract Despite the ecological importance of mesozooplankton, little is known about their global distribution and diversity in the mesopelagic realm. This study examines the spatial distribution and diversity of 861 mesozooplankton species using species distribution models.

Reversible Regime Change: Climate‐Driven Phytoplankton Community Shifts in the Cariaco Basin, Venezuela

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Phytoplankton communities are integral to oceanic biogeochemical cycles and are sensitive indicators of climate‐driven environmental variability. Long‐term time series capture this variability, allowing us to unravel the effects of environmental change on local communities.

Estimating Carbon Pools in the European Shelf Sea Environment: Replacing Reanalysis by Model‐Informed Machine Learning?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Shelf seas are important for the economy and the carbon cycle, but shelf sea observations for carbon pools are often sparse or highly uncertain. An alternative can be provided by carbon reanalyses (whether assimilating proxy variables, such as chlorophyll‐a $a$, or directly carbon), but these are often expensive to run.

Biogeographic Spread of the Non‐Indigenous Copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus in Italian Waters—Insights by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive Surveys

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This research investigates the distribution of the non‐indigenous calanoid copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus Sato, 1913 in Italian coastal waters as retrieved by the data collected in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) programme in the 2015–2023 time window. Location Italian marine coastal waters, Mediterranean Sea.

Global Drivers of Phytoplankton Phenology Trends

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Observations and a global biogeochemical model were used to examine recent shifts in phytoplankton phenology at the global scale. Sea surface temperature trends emerge as the strongest predictor of these changes, relative to the other drivers considered, and are associated with earlier initiation, later termination, and longer growing periods ...

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Unexpected Predator–Prey–Microbial Dynamics in the Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Southern right whale (Eubalaena australis; SRW) populations are recovering from the impacts of commercial whaling, however, recovery has been spatially variable, with strong associations between reproduction and prey availability. The diet of SRWs has not been widely examined, and with SRW foraging shifting away from high‐latitude foraging ...

Carbon injection potential of the mesopelagic-migrant pump in the Southern Ocean during summer

Frontiers in Marine Science
The passive sinking flux of particles, termed the biological gravitational pump (BGP), is an important component of the ocean’s biological carbon pump. In addition, carbon-rich particles are actively injected to depth through the diel vertical migration (

Assessing the Black Sea Mesozooplankton Community Following the Nova Kakhovka Dam Breach

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In June 2023, following the breach of the Nova Kakhovka Dam during the Ukraine-Russia war, a comprehensive study was conducted along the Romanian Black Sea coast to assess water quality and mesozooplankton communities.
