Dining in the deep: the feeding ecology of deep-sea fishes
Deep-sea fishes inhabit∼ 75% of the biosphere and are a critical part of deep-sea food
webs. Diet analysis and more recent trophic biomarker approaches, such as stable isotopes …

Plastic ingestion and trophic transfer between Easter Island flying fish (Cheilopogon rapanouiensis) and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) from Rapa Nui (Easter …
Millimetre-sized fragments have been documented in many fish species, but their transfer
through food webs is still poorly understood. Here we quantified and described plastic …
