Deep-diving surveys enable observations of new features of behavioural and functional dimensions of the fish that are typically missing from specimen-based taxonomy. This study documents three rare ar...
Knowledge on the ecology and life-history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. How...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used for assessing marine biodiversity, yet its potential for monitoring seasonal dynamics in tropical coral reef ecosystems requires further systematic invest...
Mesopelagic fishes transport a vast biomass of organic material between surface and deep waters through diel vertical migration (DVM), which plays a crucial role in both food web functioning and deep-...
The University of Washington's marine field station, the Friday Harbor Laboratories (FHL), has been a center for diverse biological research for over 100 years. The facility is a complete mini-campus ...
The functioning of high-diversity ecosystems, such as coral reefs, is intrinsically tied to the integrity and efficiency of the trophic pathways within these systems. Coral reef productivity depends, ...
The hagfish eye is highly reduced, lacking pigment and a lens, and covered by soft tissue. The timing and mode of this loss of complexity remain unknown. Here, we present high-resolution anatomical da...
The release of heavy metals from commercial deep-sea mining is likely to be a long-term process lasting decade, and therefore fish communities are actually exposed to a chronic, ongoing stressor. Howe...
There is a common misconception among ocean scientists and policy makers that mesopelagic (200-1000 m) food webs are an unexploited "final frontier" of living marine resources. It is true that there a...
Marine hatchetfish (Stomiiformes: Sternoptychidae) are among the most abundant and diverse inhabitants of the mesopelagic zone. Despite their small size, they have a high global biomass and play a cru...
Levels of cadmium, copper, mercury, lead and zinc in fish from the Mexican Pacific are of interest because they are marine resources of great commercial value and high human consumption. To determine ...
Cyclothone (bristlemouths) is considered the most numerically abundant genus of fish in the world and primarily inhabits the mesopelagic and bathypelagic ocean zones. Cyclothone body fossils date to t...
