Seasonal stratification regulates carbon allocation between particulate and dissolved pathways in the Gulf of Aqaba

Abstract. Water column stratification exerts fundamental control on microbial carbon cycling in oligotrophic areas of the ocean, yet its impact on the partitioning and fate of newly fixed carbon remains insufficiently resolved. Here, we investigated carbon fluxes in the Northern...

Metabolic switching between inorganic and organic phosphorus sustains microbial activity in an ultraoligotrophic ocean

Abstract Phosphorus scarcity constrains microbial activity in parts of the oligotrophic ocean, yet the extent to which dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) supports microbial P demand remains unresolved. Here, we quantified the concentrations, turnover times, and uptake kinetics of...

Biogeochemical dichotomy and intra-order variability in Miliolid and Rotaliid foraminifera

Abstract. Foraminiferal geochemical records reflect both environmental and biological influences. Disentangling these factors is essential for improving their application in marine monitoring and contributing valuable insights into the evolution across major foraminiferal lineage...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited d...

Invasives in the dark: An established population of the arrow bulleye Priacanthus sagittarius on the aphotic continental slope of the eastern Mediterranean

Abstract Although the eastern Mediterranean is recognized as the most heavily invaded marine region worldwide, such incursions have been documented almost exclusively in coastal and upper‐shelf habitats. Here, we present the first record of a fish invasion into the Mediterranean'...
