Accurate and detailed reporting of methods is essential for scientific progress, yet it is widely
accepted that authors across all scientific fields tend to provide insufficient methods detail …

The pelagic tunicates, gelatinous zooplankton that include salps, doliolids, and
appendicularians, are filter feeding grazers thought to produce a significant amount of …

As the basis of oceanic food webs and a key component of the biological carbon pump,
planktonic organisms play major roles in the oceans. Their study benefited from the …

Phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing rates were measured in repeated
profiles of dilution experiments incubated in situ on a drift array in order to assess microbial …

Gelatinous zooplankton play a crucial role in pelagic marine food webs, however, due to
methodological challenges and persistent misconceptions of their importance, the trophic …

Doliolids are common gelatinous grazers in marine ecosystems around the world and likely
influence carbon cycling due to their large population sizes with high growth and excretion …

The aim of this study was to characterize and quantify microplastics (MPs) at the chlorophyll
maximum layer (CML), around 30 to 60 m depth, during a cruise dedicated to the study of …

Planktons are a fundamental piece of all ocean ecosystems yet, sampling plankton at the
high resolution required to understand their dynamics remains a challenge. In-situ imaging …

The small sizes of most marine plankton necessitate that plankton sampling occur on fine
spatial scales, yet our questions often span large spatial areas. Underwater imaging can …

Interactions between predators and their prey are important in shaping planktonic
ecosystems. However, these interactions are difficult to assess in situ at the spatial scales …
