Comparative toxicity of hydrocarbons for evaluation of Lysmata boggessi as an experimental proxy for deep-water column micronekton [PDF]
Toxicology Reports, 2022 The potential impacts of sub-surface hydrocarbon plumes to deep-water column micronekton are an important consideration in a more complete understanding of ecosystem effects resulting from deep-sea oil spills.

Differences in the trophic ecology of micronekton driven by diel vertical migration. [PDF]
Limnol Oceanogr, 2019 Many species of micronekton perform diel vertical migrations (DVMs), which ultimately contributes to carbon export to the deep sea. However, not all micronekton species perform DVM, and the nonmigrators, which are often understudied, have different ...

Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database [PDF]
Scientific DataThe Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database (MMMD) compiles quantitative data on the distribution and density of mesopelagic (200–1000 m) mesozooplankton and micronekton (0.2–20 mm and 20–200 mm) species, using 258 published and unpublished ...

A critical time window for organismal interactions in a pelagic ecosystem. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 To measure organismal coherence in a pelagic ecosystem, we used moored sensors to describe the vertical dynamics of each step in the food chain in shelf waters off the west shore of Oahu, Hawaii.

Extrapolating cetacean densities to quantitatively assess human impacts on populations in the high seas. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2017 Funding for this study came from the U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Cooperative Agreement N62470-13-2-8008), NASA (NNX08AK73G) and NOAA/NMFS (EE-133F-14-SE-3558).As human activities expand beyond national jurisdictions to the high seas, there is an ...

Expanding our view of the cold-water coral niche and accounting of the ecosystem services of the reef habitat [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Coral reefs are iconic ecosystems that support diverse, productive communities in both shallow and deep waters. However, our incomplete knowledge of cold-water coral (CWC) niche space limits our understanding of their distribution and precludes a ...
