Pelagic community responses to a deep-water front in the California Current Ecosystem: overview of the A-Front Study
In October 2008, we investigated pelagic community composition and biomass, from
bacteria to fish, across a sharp frontal gradient overlying deep waters south of Point …

Sub-frontal niches of plankton communities driven by transport and trophic interactions at ocean fronts
Observations and theory have suggested that ocean fronts are ecological hotspots,
associated with higher diversity and biomass across many trophic levels. The hypothesis …

The roles of suspension-feeding and flux-feeding zooplankton as gatekeepers of particle flux into the mesopelagic ocean in the Northeast Pacific
Zooplankton are important consumers of sinking particles in the ocean's twilight zone.
However, the impact of different taxa depends on their feeding mode. In contrast to typical …
