Zooplankton are major consumers of phytoplankton primary production in marine
ecosystems. As such, they represent a critical link for energy and matter transfer between …

The biological pump transports organic matter, created by phytoplankton productivity in the
well-lit surface ocean, to the ocean's dark interior, where it is consumed by animals and …

One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

Pumps and motors are essential components of the world as we know it. From the complex
proteins that sustain our cells, to the mechanical marvels that power industries, much we …

Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

Viruses numerically dominate our oceans; however, we have only just begun to document
the diversity, host range and infection dynamics of marine viruses, as well as the subsequent …

Fishes are the dominant vertebrates in the ocean, yet we know little of their contribution to
carbon export flux at regional to global scales. We synthesize the existing information on fish …

The Southern Ocean plays a critical role in regulating global climate as a major sink for
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and in global ocean biogeochemistry by supplying …

The “biological pump” is the process by which photosynthetically-produced organic matter in
the ocean descends from the surface layer to depth by a combination of sinking particles …

Autonomous and cabled platforms are revolutionizing our understanding of ocean systems
by providing 4D monitoring of the water column, thus going beyond the reach of ship‐based …
