Cephalopods, especially squids, are believed to have a structuring role in marine
ecosystems as a link between different trophic levels, primarily due to their voracious prey …

The common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) is an epipelagic thermophilic species with
a worldwide distribution in tropical and subtropical regions that is characterized by its …

There have been numerous reports of plastic debris accumulation in surface waters of the

We examined the feeding ecology and niche segregation of the ten most abundant fish
species caught by longline operations off eastern Australia between 1992 and 2006. Diets of …

Mercury distribution in the oceans is controlled by complex biogeochemical cycles, resulting
in retention of trace amounts of this metal in plants and animals. Inter-and intra-specific …

Evaluating the impacts of climate and fishing on oceanic ecosystems requires an improved
understanding of the trophodynamics of pelagic food webs. Our approach was to examine …

Quantifying vertical distributions of pelagic predators elucidates pelagic ecosystem structure
and informs fisheries management. In the tropical South Atlantic Ocean, the recently …

Recent calls for a more holistic approach to fisheries management have motivated
development of trophic mass-balance models of ecosystems that underlie fisheries …

Widespread climate-induced habitat compression and reductions in biological production
are beginning to alter food webs in tropical and subtropical oceans, but the effects on mid …

Several studies have found that the respiratory demand for carbon by the mesopelagic
