Deep-sea fishes inhabit∼ 75% of the biosphere and are a critical part of deep-sea food
webs. Diet analysis and more recent trophic biomarker approaches, such as stable isotopes …

Long-term declines in oxygen concentrations are evident throughout much of the ocean
interior and are particularly acute in midwater oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). These …

The deep ocean is the largest biome on Earth and faces increasing anthropogenic
pressures from climate change and commercial fisheries. Our ability to sustainably manage …

In this review I show that four major kinds of theoretical approaches have been used to
explain the scaling of metabolic rate in cells, organisms and groups of organisms in relation …

All animals on Earth compete for free energy, which is acquired, assimilated, and ultimately
allocated to growth and reproduction. Competition is strongest within communities of …

Field metabolic rate (FMR) is key to understanding individual and population-level
responses to environmental changes, but is challenging to measure in field conditions …

Bathymetric biodiversity patterns of marine benthic invertebrates and demersal fishes have
been identified in the extant fauna of the deep continental margins. Depth zonation is …

The interplay between evolutionary rates and modularity influences the evolution of
organismal body plans by both promoting and constraining the magnitude and direction of …

Simultaneous high resolution sampling of predator behavior and habitat characteristics is
often difficult to achieve despite its importance in understanding the foraging decisions and …

Metabolic costs are central to individual energy budgets, making estimates of metabolic rate
vital to understanding how an organism interacts with its environment as well as the role of …
