Marine zooplankton comprise a phylogenetically and functionally diverse assemblage of
protistan and metazoan consumers that occupy multiple trophic levels in pelagic food webs …

The marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is the smallest and most abundant
photosynthetic organism on Earth. In this Review, we summarize our understanding of the …

Small plastic detritus, termed “microplastics”, are a widespread and ubiquitous contaminant
of marine ecosystems across the globe. Ingestion of microplastics by marine biota, including …

Cilia and flagella are fundamental units of motion in cellular biology. These beating, hair-like
organelles share a common basic structure but maintain widely varying functions in systems …

Plastic waste is a pervasive feature of marine environments, yet little is empirically known
about the biological and physical processes that transport plastics through marine …

Abstract Changes in marine plankton communities driven by environmental variability
impact the marine food web and global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and other …

Salps are barrel-shaped, gelatinous zooplankton that regularly form large swarms. They
have historically been ignored because they are difficult to sample and their gelatinous body …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) have long been a concern in marine debris research, but
quantifying the smallest microplastics (< 333 μm) has been hampered by appropriate …

During the past several decades, high numbers of gelatinous zooplankton species have
been reported in many estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Coupled with media-driven public …

Among marine organisms, gelatinous zooplankton (GZ; cnidarians, ctenophores, and
pelagic tunicates) are unique in their energetic efficiency, as the gelatinous body plan allows …
