Fishes are the dominant vertebrates in the ocean, yet we know little of their contribution to
carbon export flux at regional to global scales. We synthesize the existing information on fish …

In reviewing this subject, it became clear to me that plankton ecologists fallout into two
groups: Those who delight in finding the patterns in nature that can be explained by size …

It is generally recognized that larger animals eat more, live longer, have larger offspring, and
so on; but it is unusual to see these commonplace observations as a basis for scientific …

We review the effects of fishing on benthic fauna, habitat, diversity, community structure and
trophic interactions in tropical, temperate and polar marine environments and consider …

The story of this edition is a testament to an almost legendary gure in theoretical ecology
and to the in uence his work and charisma has had on the eld. It is also a story that can only …

A basic problem in marine biogeochemistry is understanding material and elemental
distributions and fluxes in the oceans, and a key part of this problem is understanding the …

Organism size is one of the key determinants of community structure, and its relationship
with abundance can describe how biomass is partitioned among the biota within an …

The view on the ecology of marine plankton has changed significantly within the last
decade. In some respects the change is sufficiently dramatic to make some authors speak …

Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law
distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling …

A three-component model was developed which calculates the fractional contributions of
three phytoplankton size classes (micro-, nano-and picoplankton) to the overall chlorophyll …
