The past 30 years have seen several paradigm shifts in our understanding of how ocean
ecosystems function. Now recent technological advances add to an overwhelming body of …

We review present understanding of the spatial and temporal diet variability
(trophodynamics) of a range of pelagic marine top predators, at both early and adult life …

Food web linkages, or the feeding relationships between species inhabiting a shared
ecosystem, are an ecological lens through which ecosystem structure and function can be …

Effective conservation strategies for highly migratory species must incorporate information
about long-distance movements and locations of high-use foraging areas. However, the …

Science has rapidly expanded its frontiers with new technologies in the 20th Century.
Oceanography now is studied routinely by satellite. Predictive models are on global scales …

Marine microorganisms comprise a large fraction of ocean carbon and are central players in
global biogeochemical cycling. Significant gaps remain, however, in our understanding of …

Gelatinous zooplankton can be present in high biomass and taxonomic diversity in
planktonic oceanic food webs, yet the trophic structuring and importance of this “jelly web” …

There has been debate in the literature recently about increases in jellyfish populations in
response to anthropogenic change, and this has attracted widespread media interest …

Some scleractinian coral larvae have an extraordinary capacity to delay metamorphosis,
and this is reflected in the large geographic range of many species. Coral eggs typically …

Maps of the spatial distribution of stable isotope ratios across wide geographic areas
(isoscapes) are increasingly used to study mechanisms of nutrient flux, movements of …
