Ocean Depths: The Mesopelagic and Implications for Global Warming

Ocean Depths: The Mesopelagic and Implications for Global Warming

The mesopelagic or 'twilight zone' of the oceans occurs too deep for photosynthesis, but is a major part of the world's carbon cycle. Depth boundaries for the mesopelagic have now been shown on a global scale using the distribution of pelagic animals detected by compiling echo-soundings from ships around the world, and been used to predict the effect of global warming on regional fish production.

The Implications of Global Warming for Energy Production and Consumption

Global warming and its effect on the environmental human health

Earth's ecosystem has been active for millions of years without particular problems and may lead the development of variety of animal species around the world.

Putative archaeal viruses from the mesopelagic ocean

Oceanic viruses that infect bacteria, or phages, are known to modulate host diversity, metabolisms, and biogeochemical cycling, while the viruses that infect marine Archaea remain understudied despite the critical ecosystem roles played by their hosts. Here we introduce "MArVD", for Metagenomic Archaeal Virus Detector, an annotation tool designed to identify putative archaeal virus contigs in m...
