Abstract Loop Current Frontal Eddies (LCFEs) are known to intensify and assist in the Loop
Current (LC) eddy shedding. In addition to interacting with the LC, these eddies also modify …

Diversity of free-living marine nematode assemblages in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico
(SW GoM) is scarcely studied. Here, we aimed (1) to analyze the influence of a water depth …

We describe the larval occurrence and density of six fish species with contrasting life
histories and examine their relationships with oceanographic variables during two seasons …

A synoptic gulf-wide isoscape of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) in the Gulf of Mexico
based on mesozooplankton (335-1000 um) was used as a proxy for the isotopic baseline …

Water masses are carriers of anthropogenic fingerprints in the ocean interior, with their
property changes manifesting oceanic thermodynamic responses to climate change. Yet …

The loop current (LC) in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is part of the western North Atlantic
circulation. Recording its strength and slowdown variations can help us characterize the …

The tragic accident of the Macondo platform operated by British Petroleum (BP) unleashed
in 2010 one of the largest oil spills in history, lasting over three months, spilling nearly 500 …

In the ocean, nitrogen availability is an important control of primary production and
influences the amount of energy flowing through food webs. Mesoscale eddies play …

Ocean eddies play a major role in lateral and vertical mixing processes of particulate
organic carbon (POC), as well as in the transport of heat, salinity, and biogeochemical …

Abstract Information on microbial metabolic activity is essential for quantifying carbon and
energy flows through marine food webs. We quantified community (R com) and prokaryotic …
