Pelagic Ecosystems
T he measurement of primary production in the ocean is key to our estimates of ecosystem function and the role of the ocean and its biota in the planetary carbon (C) cycle. Accurate estimates are critical to a broad suite ofbiological questions across a wide range of space and time scales. The methods developed to measure primary production reflect the diversity of our research interests and en...
متن کاملDeep pelagic biology
The deep pelagic habitat is a vast volume of cold, dark water where food is scarce and bioluminescence is the principal source of light and communication. Understanding the adaptations that allow animals to successfully inhabit this daunting realm has been a difficult challenge because investigators have had to conduct their work remotely. Research in the deep water column is going through an e...
متن کاملDiversity of the Monstrilloida (Crustacea: Copepoda)
Monstrilloid copepods are protelean parasites of different groups of marine benthic invertebrates. Only their first naupliar, preadult, and adult phases are planktonic. Monstrilloids are currently represented by more than 115 nominal species contained in four genera. Its taxonomic knowledge has been hampered by nomenclatural and descriptive problems derived from their peculiar ontogeny and poor...
متن کاملNeotenous origins for pelagic octopuses
The 'ctenoglossans' are an enigmatic group of transparent, pelagic octopuses that spend their entire life without touching the seafloor. Molecular and morphological evidence shows that the ctenoglossans have arisen via neoteny, the persistence of larval attributes in the adult form. The ctenoglossans have evolved from the planktonic early-dispersal stages of familiar benthic octopuses. Extreme ...
