Diversity of lanternfish (Myctophidae) larvae along the Ninety East Ridge, Indian Ocean [PDF]
Since the 19th century, the impact of seamounts on the distribution of plankton has been a topic of considerable interest. The influence of seamounts on the biogeographic patterns of marine organisms is complex, with some aspects still under debate.

First evidence of sexual dimorphism in olfactory organs of deep-sea lanternfishes (Myctophidae) [PDF]
Finding a mate is of the utmost importance for organisms, and the traits associated with successfully finding one can be under strong selective pressures. In habitats where biomass and population density is often low, like the enormous open spaces of the

Occurrence and distribution of larval lanternfish (Myctophidae) from the southwest Atlantic Ocean
This study analyzes the occurrence and distribution of lanternfish (Myctophidae) larvae along the Brazilian coast (12-22ºS) between 200 m and the surface. Three cruises were conducted during the spring/1998, winter/1999 and autumn/2000.

Lanternfish otoliths (Myctophidae, Teleostei) from the Miocene of Japan [PDF]
Lanternfishes (Myctophidae) are one of the most common groups of fishes in the mesopelagic zone of the world ocean, and their otoliths have been dominant in pelagic sediments since at least Miocene times. Many species have a wide geographic distribution,
