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

Quantifying the ocean's biological pump and its carbon cycle impacts on global scales
The biological pump transports organic matter, created by phytoplankton productivity in the
well-lit surface ocean, to the ocean's dark interior, where it is consumed by animals and …

Global census of the significance of giant mesopelagic protists to the marine carbon and silicon cycles
Thriving in both epipelagic and mesopelagic layers, Rhizaria are biomineralizing protists,
mixotrophs or flux-feeders, often reaching gigantic sizes. In situ imaging showed their …

Innovative and practical tools for monitoring and assessing biodiversity status and impacts of multiple human pressures in marine systems
Human activities at sea can produce pressures and cumulative effects on ecosystem
components that need to be monitored and assessed in a cost-effective manner. Five …

Global gradients in species richness of marine plankton functional groups
The patterns of species diversity of plankton functional groups (PFGs) remain poorly
understood although they matter greatly for marine ecosystem functioning. Here, we use an …

Three major mesoplanktonic communities resolved by in situ imaging in the upper 500 m of the global ocean
Aim The distribution of mesoplankton communities has been poorly studied at global scale,
especially from in situ instruments. This study aims to (1) describe the global distribution of …
