The fossil record is the primary source of data used to study predator-prey interactions in
deep time and to evaluate key questions regarding the evolutionary and ecological …

Modern lampreys (Petromyzontiformes) are one of two lineages of surviving jawless fishes
(agnathans), and are thus of critical importance to understanding the evolution of the …

We used bulk tissue δ13C and δ15N values and δ15N values of individual amino acids (AA)
to characterize the trophic structure of a pelagic fish assemblage from the North Pacific …

Benthic community succession patterns at whale falls have been previously established by
means of punctual submersible and ROV observations. The contribution of faunal activity …

This paper addresses a recent claim by Miyashita and co-authors that the filter-feeding larval
lamprey is a new evolutionary addition to the lamprey life-cycle and does not provide …

To study the influence of different ocean currents on the trophic spectra found in a sympatric
fish community, we analyzed the radiocarbon contents (Δ 14C) and stable carbon (δ13C) …

Dietary specialisations are important determinants of ecological structure, particularly in
species with high per‐capita trophic influence like marine apex predators. These species …

Abstract The Alboran Sea holds one of the highest biological productivity rates in the
Mediterranean, and thus represents an important nursing area for pelagic fishes including …

Background Hagfishes are fascinating creatures that typically inhabit the deep sea. The
deep sea is characterized by its lack of sunlight, primary productivity, and diminishing …

Three benthic megafaunal species (ie sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria; pacific hagfish
Eptatretus stoutii and a group of juvenile crabs) were tested for diel behavioral patterns at …
