Multi-faceted particle pumps drive carbon sequestration in the ocean

PW Boyd, H Claustre, M Levy, DA Siegel, T Weber - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
The ocean's ability to sequester carbon away from the atmosphere exerts an important
control on global climate. The biological pump drives carbon storage in the deep ocean and …

Two hundred years of zooplankton vertical migration research

K Bandara, Ø Varpe, L Wijewardene… - Biological …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

Zooplankton and the ocean carbon cycle

DK Steinberg, MR Landry - Annual review of marine science, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Marine zooplankton comprise a phylogenetically and functionally diverse assemblage of
protistan and metazoan consumers that occupy multiple trophic levels in pelagic food webs …

Carbon export mediated by mesopelagic fishes in the northeast Pacific Ocean

PC Davison, DM Checkley Jr, JA Koslow… - Progress in …, 2013 - Elsevier
The role of fishes in the global carbon cycle is poorly known and often neglected. We show
that the biomass of mesopelagic fishes off the continental USA west to longitude 141° W is …

Seasonal copepod lipid pump promotes carbon sequestration in the deep North Atlantic

SH Jónasdóttir, AW Visser, K Richardson… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - pnas.org
Estimates of carbon flux to the deep oceans are essential for our understanding of global
carbon budgets. Sinking of detrital material (“biological pump”) is usually thought to be the …

Understanding the export of biogenic particles in oceanic waters: Is there consensus?

PW Boyd, TW Trull - Progress in Oceanography, 2007 - Elsevier
We examine progress towards a global view of oceanic export of particulate organic carbon
(POC) and other nutrient elements (P, N, Si) from the surface (upper 100m), through the …

Life history adaptations to seasonality

Ø Varpe - Integrative and comparative biology, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Seasonality creates a template for many natural processes and evolutionary adaptations.
Organisms are often faced with an annual cycle consisting of a productive (favorable) and …

Effects of raised CO2 concentration on the egg production rate and early development of two marine copepods (Acartia steueri and Acartia erythraea)

H Kurihara, S Shimode, Y Shirayama - Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2004 - Elsevier
Direct injection of CO2 into the deep ocean is receiving increasing attention as a way to
mitigate increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration. To assess the potential impact of the …

Massive circumpolar biomass of Southern Ocean zooplankton: Implications for food web structure, carbon export, and marine spatial planning

G Yang, A Atkinson, EA Pakhomov… - Limnology and …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
With rapid, sector‐specific climatic changes impacting the Southern Ocean, we need
circumpolar‐scale biomass data of its plankton taxa to improve food web models, blue …

Climate change has altered zooplankton-fuelled carbon export in the North Atlantic

P Brun, K Stamieszkin, AW Visser, P Licandro… - Nature ecology & …, 2019 - nature.com
Marine plankton have been conspicuously affected by recent climate change, responding
with profound spatial relocations and shifts in the timing of their seasonal occurrence. These …
