Journal ArticleDOI
Diets of five important predatory mesopelagic fishes of the central North Pacific
TL;DR: The diets of 5 large predatory mesopelagic fishes (Alepisaurus ferox (longnosed lancetfish), Gempylus serpens (snake mackerel), Lepidocybium flavobrunneum (Smith's escolar), and Lampris spp. as discussed by the authors were examined from the central North Pacific Ocean (around Hawaii) for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multilocus evidence for globally distributed cryptic species and distinct populations across ocean gyres in a mesopelagic copepod
TL;DR: This study shows that oceanic barriers to gene flow can act as a mechanism promoting allopatric diversification in holoplanktonic taxa, despite the high potential dispersal abilities and pelagic habitat for these species.
Journal Article
Diets of five important predatory mesopelagic fishes of the central North Pacific
TL;DR: The diets of 5 large predatory mesopelagic fishes—Alepisaurus ferox (longnosed lancetfish), Gempylus serpens (snake mackerel), Lepidocybium flavobrunneum (Smith's escolar), and Lampris spp. (big-eye and small-eye opah, or moonfish)—from the central North Pacific Ocean were examined, most for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal Stability of Genetic Structure in a Mesopelagic Copepod
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genetically distinct plankton populations persist over time in highly-dispersive open ocean habitats, and this is the first study to rigorously test for temporal stability of large scale population structure in the plankton.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize remotely-sensed, hydrographic, and biological survey data from throughout the California Current System (CCS) in 2019-20 to evaluate how recent changes in environmental conditions have affected community dynamics at multiple trophic levels.
