We review present understanding of the spatial and temporal diet variability
(trophodynamics) of a range of pelagic marine top predators, at both early and adult life …

Jellyfish blooms can represent a significant but largely overlooked source of organic matter
(OM), in particular at the local and regional scale. We provide an overview of the current …

Among marine organisms, gelatinous zooplankton (GZ; cnidarians, ctenophores, and
pelagic tunicates) are unique in their energetic efficiency, as the gelatinous body plan allows …

The deep pelagic ocean is increasingly subjected to human-induced environmental change.
While pelagic animals provide important ecosystem functions including climate regulation …

Despite the ecological importance of microscale (0.01–1 meter) and fine-scale (1 to
hundreds of meters) plankton patchiness, the dimensions and taxonomic identity of patches …

Aim Scientific debate regarding the future trends, and subsequent ecological,
biogeochemical and societal impacts, of gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) in a changing ocean is …

Although many attempts have been carried out to elaborate trophic magnification factor
(TMF) and biomagnification factor (BMF), such as normalizing the concentration of pollutants …

ABSTRACT A majority of the world's largest net-based fisheries target planktivorous forage
fish that serve as a critical trophic link between the plankton and upper-level consumers …

The modern biosphere owes its idiosyncratic expression to the activities of oxygen
metabolizing organisms, especially animals and eukaryotes (Butterfield, 2011). And with a …

Plankton community models are critical tools for understanding the processes that shape
marine plankton communities, how plankton communities impact biogeochemical cycles …
