Expanded vertical niche for two species of pelagic sharks: depth range extension for the dusky shark Carcharhinus obscurus and novel twilight zone occurrence by the silky shark Carcharhinus falciformis
Studying the behavior of pelagic sharks can be challenging due to the logistical difficulties of locating migratory individuals in the open ocean....

Diversity and spatiotemporal variation of an Eastern Tropical Pacific pelagic vertebrate community assessed with drifting pelagic BRUVS
Information about the composition of pelagic communities generally lags far behind that of coastal communities, and largely derives from fisheries...

Diversity of pelagic tunicates (Appendicularia and Thaliacea) from Cuba: a review
Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ), and pelagic tunicates specifically, plays key roles in marine ecosystems, contributing to diets of various predators and...

The Pelagic Light-Dependent Microbiome
The pelagic sunlit zone or euphotic zone is defined as the lit surface of the ocean down to a depth where enough light penetrates to allow...

Drivers of macroinvertebrate assemblages in littoral and pelagic habitats of a large shallow lake: implications for bioassessment
Different measures of macroinvertebrate diversity (species diversity, functional diversity, phylogenetic diversity) and functional feeding groups...

Vertical distribution of pelagic polychaetes in the Bransfield Strait and northwestern Weddell Sea in austral summer of 2022
Despite the wide distribution of holopelagic polychaetes, very little is known about their ecology and role in communities, particularly their...

Diversity and composition of cladoceran egg bank in sediments and macrophyte roots from the littoral zone of tropical lakes
There is still a fundamental gap in our knowledge regarding the dormant egg bank in the littoral zone, as much of the existing information stems from...

Pelagic Food Chain of the Bering Sea
AbstractThe order of magnitude of biomass and production at various trophic levels in the epipelagic community has been calculated, and the main...

Trophic ecology of common bottlenose dolphins in a pelagic insular environment inferred by stable isotopes
The common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) is a top marine predator widely dispersed in coastal and pelagic habitats and with a generalist...

Pelagic niche shift by fishes following restorations of a eutrophic lake
Lake restoration by biomanipulation or phosphorus fixation has been commonly applied methods to improve the ecological status of lakes. However, the...

Parasites alter food-web topology of a subarctic lake food web and its pelagic and benthic compartments
We compared three sets of highly resolved food webs with and without parasites for a subarctic lake system corresponding to its pelagic and benthic...

Is there a symbiotic cleaning association between ocean sunfish and pelagic seabirds in the Patagonian Shelf?
The removal by a cleaning organism of ecto-parasites, diseased or wounded tissue, or other particles of another organism is termed cleaning...

Effects of oligotrophication and Dreissena littoral-pelagic coupling on littoral invertebrate and fish communities: insights from stable isotopes of archived samples
Changing nutrient concentrations and introduction of non-native species affect the energy and nutrient fluxes in aquatic ecosystems. As a response,...

Length-Weight Characteristics of Some Pelagic Fishes in the High Latitudes of Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean
AbstractMesopelagic fish, having colossal biomass remain poorly understood although playing an important ecological role in the ecosystems of the...

Seasonal occurrence and environmental drivers of pelagic shark species in Los Cabos, Mexico, assessed using citizen science
The Mexican Pacific is an area of high biodiversity due to its transitional location of both tropical and sub-tropical waters and many shark species...
