Flyingfish (Exocoetidae) species diversity and habitats in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Marine Biodiversity"
DOI: 10.1007/s12526-017-0666-7
Abstract: Flyingfishes are large enough to eat zooplankton, small enough to be consumed by top predators, and therefore form a central mid-trophic component of tropical epipelagic marine food webs. Characterizing patterns of flyingfish abundance, distribution, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106795
Abstract: Abstract Coral reefs are considered to be valuable ecosystems due to the goods and services that they provide. However, these ecosystem services are highly dependent on the physical structure of the reef, which in turn… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018jg004392
Abstract: A fraction of organic carbon produced in the oceans by phytoplankton sinks storing 5–15 gigatonnes of carbon annually in the ocean interior. The accepted paradigm is that rapid aggregation of phytoplankton cells occurs, forming large,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019pa003578
Abstract: Decades of observations show that the world's oceans have been losing oxygen, with far‐reaching consequences for ecosystems and biogeochemical cycling. To reconstruct oxygenation beyond the limited scope of instrumental records, proxy records are needed, such… read more here.
