Picophytoplankton populations [Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus (SYN), and
picoeukaryotes] are dominant primary producers in the open ocean and projected to …

In recent years, pelagic tunicates (mostly salps, but potentially doliolids, appendicularians
and pyrosomes as well) have been used in isotopic studies as a baseline consumer (trophic …

A quantitative understanding of the mesopelagic zooplankton food web is key to
development of accurate carbon budgets and geochemical models in marine systems. Here …

The number of trophic steps within a plankton food web plays an important role in
determining the energy available to support higher-level consumers by affecting trophic …

We investigated phytoplankton dynamics in the southern California Current System (SCCS)
in August 2014 during the early phase of the 2014-15 marine heat wave (MHW). Multi-day …

This research analyzes for the first time in the Pacific Tropical-Subtropical Convergence off
