Abstract: ABSTRACT Macroevolutionary trends in vertebrate morphology fundamentally shape our understanding of marine ecosystems through deep time. Body form influences interactions between organisms and their environment, dictating their locomotor capabilities and ability to hunt/escape from other… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10641-017-0618-x
Abstract: Pelagic fish populations in the upper San Francisco Estuary have experienced significant declines since the turn of the century; a pattern known as the pelagic organism decline (POD). This study investigated food habits of piscivorous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pocean.2019.102145
Abstract: Abstract Little is known about ecosystem structure and nutrient flux in the pelagic zone of seasonal upwelling systems in the tropics, despite their global importance to marine production. The Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) is responsible… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-55946-6
Abstract: Composition, density and specimen sizes of pelagic polychaete assemblages were analyzed in the Southern Adriatic Sea. The study was based on finely stratified vertical (0–1100 m) and spatial sampling (17 stations) representing spring conditions. Holoplanktonic polychaetes… read more here.
