Major contribution of particle‐associated microbes to deep‐sea organic carbon degradation
Abstract The biological carbon pump mediates the export of particulate organic carbon from the euphotic zone to the deep ocean, where it provides the base of the food web. Although deep‐sea microbial metabolism is considered to be largely associated with macroscopic particles, such as marine snow, the specific contribution of particle‐associated ...

Abstract The metabolism of heterotrophic bacteria acts as a key control on the turnover of organic matter in the ocean. However, much remains unknown about how nutrient availability, particularly iron concentration, impacts bacterial growth. In the dimly lit waters of the lower photic and upper mesopelagic zones, the attenuation of sinking particulate ...

Abstract In aquatic ecosystems, greater food web complexity is theorized to increase persistence and resilience of primary production to pulse disturbances, yet experimental evidence is limited. We simulated two storm‐induced pulse disturbances by adding nutrients (~ 3%–5% increase in ambient concentrations) to three ponds with low, intermediate, and ...

Essential dietary fatty acids affect intraspecific competition in herbivorous zooplankton
Abstract The trophic transfer efficiency at the pelagic phytoplankton‐zooplankton interface is—among other factors—governed by the dietary availability of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to herbivorous zooplankton. As most zooplankton taxa cannot synthesize PUFAs de novo, the phytoplankton PUFA composition is crucial for the herbivores' fitness. As
