TL;DR: Modelling and a sensitivity analysis of the acoustic observations from the Malaspina 2010 Circumnavigation Expedition show that the previous estimate of mesopelagic fishes biomass needs to be revised to at least one order of magnitude higher, and there is a close relationship between the open ocean fishes biomass and primary production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plankton distribution across a slope current-induced front in the southern Bay of Biscay
Journal ArticleDOI
Faking giants: the evolution of high prey clearance rates in jellyfishes.
TL;DR: Jellyfish process prey at the same rates as fish, suggesting that a shift to jellyfish-dominated systems is possible, and optimization analysis reveals that large collectors are advantageous if they move through the water sufficiently slowly.

TL;DR: Results confirm that the dispersal scale of planktonic and micro-nektonic organisms is determined by local abundance, which scales with body size, ultimately setting global spatial patterns of diversity.
