Abstract: The global standing stock of mesozooplankton in the mesopelagic zone was assessed using estimates of particulate organic carbon (POC) and net primary productivity (NPP). These estimates were compared to published data to establish a relationship… read more here.

Abstract: We analyzed a widely used barcode, the V9 region of the 18S rRNA gene, to study the effect of environmental conditions on the distribution of two related heterotrophic protistan lineages in marine plankton, kinetoplastids and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13149
Abstract: Aim Following the biogeographical approach implemented by Longhurst for the epipelagic layer, we propose here to identify a biogeochemical 3-D partition for the mesopelagic layer. The resulting partition characterizes the main deep environmental biotopes and… read more here.
