Bacterial distribution in Twilight zone of the Indian sector of Southern Ocean: V3- V4 rDNA hypervariable region data [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2023 Twilight zones in oceans represent the oceanic waters between 200 m to 1000 m in depth, wherein sunlight is diffused and intensity is

Biological function in the twilight zone of sequence conservation [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2017 Strong DNA conservation among divergent species is an indicator of enduring functionality. With weaker sequence conservation we enter a vast ‘twilight zone’ in which sequence subject to transient or lower constraint cannot be distinguished easily from ...

Inefficient transfer of diatoms through the subpolar Southern Ocean twilight zone. [PDF]
Nat GeosciThe Southern Ocean, a region highly vulnerable to climate change, plays a vital role in regulating global nutrient cycles and atmospheric CO2 via the biological carbon pump.

Modeling fisheries and carbon sequestration ecosystem services under deep uncertainty in the ocean twilight zone. [PDF]
AmbioMesopelagic fishes are a vital component of the biological carbon pump and are, to date, largely unexploited. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in harvesting the mesopelagic zone to produce fish feed for aquaculture.

Illuminating Key Microbial Players and Metabolic Processes Involved in the Remineralization of Particulate Organic Carbon in the Ocean's Twilight Zone by Metaproteomics. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 The ocean’s twilight zone is a critical zone where more than 70% of the sinking particulate organic carbon (POC) are remineralized. Therefore, the twilight zone determines the size of biological carbon storage in the ocean and regulates the global ...

Different evolutionary trends form the twilight zone of the bacterial pan-genome. [PDF]
Microb Genom, 2021 The pan-genome is defined as the combined set of all genes in the gene pool of a species. Pan-genome analyses have been very useful in helping to understand different evolutionary dynamics of bacterial species: an open pan-genome often indicates a free ...

Genetics in the Ocean's Twilight Zone: Population Structure of the Glacier Lanternfish Across Its Distribution Range. [PDF]
Evol ApplThe mesopelagic zone represents one of the few habitats that remains relatively untouched from anthropogenic activities. Among the many species inhabiting the north Atlantic mesopelagic zone, glacier lanternfish (Benthosema glaciale) is the most abundant

Contribution of Carbon Fixation Toward Carbon Sink in the Ocean Twilight Zone
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Dark carbon (C) fixation in the ocean twilight zone plays a crucial role toward C sink, but its potential has not been tested sufficiently in experiments.

Mesoscale eddies release pelagic sharks from thermal constraints to foraging in the ocean twilight zone. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 Significance New dynamic approaches to managing marine fisheries promise more effective management in a changing climate. However, they require detailed knowledge of the links between oceanographic features and marine megafauna. Here, we demonstrate that
