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

Quantification of the actual amount of carbon export to the mesopelagic layer by both
zooplankton and micronekton is at present a gap in the knowledge of the biological pump …

Abstract The Middle (MP) and Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP) evidences of shellfish collection
on the southern Iberian site of Bajondillo cave are presented and compared with …

Zooplankton form an integral component of epi-and mesopelagic ecosystems, and there is a
need to better understand their role in ocean biogeochemistry. The export and …

Mesopelagic fish populations are characterised by high species richness and abundance,
and have been identified as important contributors to the active carbon fluxes in the open …

Suspended marine particles constitute most of the particulate organic matter pool in the
oceans, thereby providing substantial substrates for heterotrophs, especially in the …

Variability in the spatial and temporal distribution of the mesozooplankton abundance in the
N Alboran Sea (SW Mediterranean) was assessed intermittently from 2010 to 2020, and …

We present here a global oceanic compilation of 234 Th measurements that collects results
from researchers and laboratories over a period exceeding 50 years. The origin of the 234 …

A key control on the magnitude of coastal eutrophication is the degree to which currents
quickly transport nitrogen derived from human sources away from the coast to the open …

Mesoscale anticyclonic eddies have been frequently observed in the South China Sea
(SCS) northern slope. Here we present the first multidisciplinary cruise conducted in an …
