TL;DR: Over 1.2 million previously unknown genes represented in these samples, including more than 782 new rhodopsin-like photoreceptors are identified, suggesting substantial oceanic microbial diversity.

Plankton Production and Year-class Strength in Fish Populations: an Update of the Match/Mismatch Hypothesis
TL;DR: The match/mismatch hypothesis is given in this chapter to cover the subsequent development through larval life up to metamorphosis, and possibly just beyond and the limited conclusion drawn is that, investigations of fish larvae should continue to be a part of the study of population dynamics of fishes.

Analysing Ecological Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of rice farming on aquatic birds with mixed modelling were investigated using additive and generalised additive modeling and univariate methods to analyse abundance of decapod larvae.

Production and dissolution of biogenic silica in the ocean: revised global estimates, comparison with regional data and relationship to biogenic sedimentation
TL;DR: In this paper, the global rate of biogenic silica production in the ocean was estimated to be between 200 and 280 × 1012 mol Si yr−1, which is 30-50% lower than several previous estimates, due to new data indicating lower values for both the relative contribution of diatoms to primary productivity and their Si/C ratios.

Molecular stratigraphy: a new tool for climatic assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative abundance behavior of two organic compounds, C37 alkenones over the upper 8 metres of a sediment core from the eastern equatorial Atlantic is inferred from a molecular record, ascribed to contributions from prymnesiophyte algae, which correlates well with variations in the δ18 signal for the calcareous skeletons of certain planktonic foraminifera.
