Numerous ambient drivers affect pelagic size spectra, but their relative importance and combined effects are still poorly understood. Here, we present a dataset spanning from

The Amazon River plume (ARP) impacts the Amazon Continental Shelf’s (ACS) marine ecosystem, but its effect on fish larvae remains uninvestigated. To investigate the influence

Negotiating conservation priorities in highly anthropic ecosystems requires approaches that promote cooperation and cost bargaining among stakeholders. In data-poor contexts, such negotiations are hindered by

Synthetic normalized biomass size spectra (NBSS) comprising non-synoptically sampled phytoplankton, meso- and macrozooplankton, and micronekton including mesopelagic fishes were explored to analyze pelagic community structure

The yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is a widely distributed species performing long-distance migrations. Along the migratory route, individuals may use critical habitats for feeding and

Deep-pelagic crustaceans are integral to ocean functioning, yet their ecological roles remain critically understudied, increasingly vulnerable, and often oversimplified in global models. Here, we investigate

The strong advective circulation governing western boundary current systems poses challenges to coastal organism to retain their planktonic larvae and assembly in local communities. However,

The present study evaluates the influence of industrialization on suspended particulate matter (SPM) dynamics along the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro, focusing specifically on

The invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans) has been spreading rapidlyacross the Atlantic Ocean, causing significant ecological impacts. This study reportsthe first known record of a

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that poses serious risks to marine ecosystems and human health. In oceanic systems, deep-pelagic species can serve as key
