[HTML][HTML] A global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone
We have developed a global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone to reflect
the regional scales over which the ocean interior varies in terms of biodiversity and function …

Mesopelagic fishes across the tropical and equatorial Atlantic: biogeographical and vertical patterns
In this investigation we analysed the changes in fish species occurrences and relative
abundances across the tropical and equatorial Atlantic, and their vertical distribution …

Growth and reproduction in mesopelagic fishes: a literature synthesis
The mesopelagic zone covers a vast expanse of the World's oceans and contains some of
the most abundant vertebrates on the planet. This midwater region is central to the transfer …

Species-specific bioluminescence facilitates speciation in the deep sea
The vast darkness of the deep sea is an environment with few obvious genetic isolating
barriers, and little is known regarding the macroevolutionary processes that have shaped …

Deep‐Pelagic Fishes Are Anything But Similar: A Global Synthesis
Deep‐pelagic fishes are among the most abundant vertebrates on Earth. They play a critical
role in sequestering carbon, providing prey for harvestable fishing stocks and linking …

[HTML][HTML] Carbon remineralization by small mesopelagic and bathypelagic Stomiiforms in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
The organic carbon resulting from photosynthesis in the upper ocean is transferred
downward through the passive sinking of organic particles, physical mixing of particulate …

As Gulf oil extraction goes deeper, who is at risk? Community structure, distribution, and connectivity of the deep-pelagic fauna
The habitat and biota most affected by ultra-deep oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) will
necessarily be in the deep-pelagic domain. This domain represents~ 91% of the GoM's …

Many ways to build an angler: diversity of feeding morphologies in a deep-sea evolutionary radiation
Almost nothing is known about the diets of bathypelagic fishes, but functional morphology
can provide useful tools to infer ecology. Here we quantify variation in jaw and tooth …
