The subtropical gyres occupy approximately 40% of the surface of the Earth and are widely recognized as oligotrophic zones. Among them, the South Pacific subtropical gyre (SPSG) …
Zooplankton diversity in the deep “midnight zone”(> 1000 m), where sunlight does not reach, remains largely unknown. Uncovering such diversity has been challenging because of the …
Gradients of latitudinal diversity are one of the biogeographic features calling the most attention in ecology and macroecology. However, in pelagic communities of the marine …
Biodiversity serves as a crucial biological foundation for ecosystem stability. This study aimed to investigate the biodiversity of the Southeast Pacific and its response to marine …
Zooplankton play a key role in the functioning of marine ecosystems by transferring energy from phytoplankton to higher trophic levels. Additionally, because of their short generation …
