Intra-lake origin and rapid expansion of invasive pelagic three-spined stickleback in Lake Constance [PDF]
The rapid expansion of three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus Linnaeus, 1758 (Perciformes, Gasterosteida)) in the pelagic zone of Lake Constance, Central Europe, since 2012 contributed to stark ecosystem-wide effects, such as food-web shifts ...

Response to Limitations on inferring shark vulnerability from spatial habitat protection
Our paper entitled “Shark conservation hindered by lack of habitat protection” (Birkmanis et al., 2020a), prompted Braccini and Newman to write a reply based on (i) our title, which they thought implied that a global assessment was made, and (ii) their ...

Pelagic calcium carbonate production and shallow dissolution in the North Pacific Ocean
Ziveri et al find calcifying phytoplankton dominate pelagic CaCO3 production, but a large portion of this CaCO3 dissolves in the photic zone - they suggest the processes driving shallow CaCO3 dissolution are key to understanding the role of planktonic ...

Distribution of Oikopleura Dioica (Tunicata, Appendicularia) associated with a coastal frontal system (39°- 41°s) of the SW Atlantic ocean in the spawning area of Engraulis Anchoita anchovy [PDF]
Among tunicates, the small planktonic appendicularians generally comprise a significant fraction of the mesozooplankton in frontal systems. The summer 2011 distribution (vertical and spatial) of Oikopleura dioica was studied in terms of abundance ...

Assessment of the pelagic fish populations using CEN multi-mesh gillnets: consequences for the characterization of the fish communities [PDF]
The contribution of CEN standard pelagic nets to the assessment of fish communities is tested by comparing three metrics (species composition, species abundance, and size structures) measured in accordance with the standard (i.e. using benthic nets only)
