The use of cephalopod beaks in ecological and population dynamics studies has allowed
major advances of our knowledge on the role of cephalopods in marine ecosystems in the …

Heteromorphs are ammonoids forming a conch with detached whorls (open coiling) or non‐
planispiral coiling. Such aberrant forms appeared convergently four times within this extinct …

Microplastics are a relevant environmental concern in marine ecosystems due to their
ubiquity. However, knowledge on their dispersion patterns within the ocean basin and the …

Abstract The Gulf of Mexico's (GOM) deep-pelagic realm is one of the planet's most speciose
pelagic ecoregions, but detailed knowledge of ecosystem structure and function is lacking …

Exceptional fossil preservation is required to conserve soft-bodied fossils and even more so
to conserve their behaviour. Here, we describe a fossil of a co-occurrence of representatives …

Although soft tissues of coleoid cephalopods record key evolutionary adaptations, they are
rarely preserved in the fossil record. This prevents meaningful comparative analyses …

The connection between epipelagic and deep-sea mesopelagic realms controls a variety of
ecosystem processes including oceanic carbon storage and the provision of harvestable fish …

Trophic niche and diet comparisons among closely sympatric marine species are important
to understand complex food webs, particularly in regions most affected by climate change …

The pelagic cephalopods Japetella diaphana and Vampyroteuthis infernalis are charismatic
and widely distributed members of deep pelagic ecosystems. Their habitat temperatures …

Individual body size strongly influences the trophic role of marine organisms and the
structure and function of marine ecosystems. Quantifying trophic position–individual body …
