Apex predators and trophic cascades in large marine ecosystems: learning from serendipity.
T he global loss of large predators is undeniable. However, the effects of predator depletion on the structure and functioning of ecosystems are far from resolved, especially as they apply to large pelagic marine ecosystems. Much of what we know about how marine predators function in ecosystems comes from small-scale studies on relatively small, slow-moving, seafloorfeeding predators that are e...
متن کاملAntarctic Marine Living Resources program The U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) program: 1996–1997 field season activities
he U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) program has developed and conducted a research plan tailored to the goals of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), part of the Antarctic Treaty System. The Convention manages antarctic fisheries to conserve targeted species while also taking into account the impact fishing activities might have on othe...
متن کاملOceanographic characteristics of biological hot spots in the North Pacific: A remote sensing perspective
Biological hot spots in the ocean are likely created by physical processes and have distinct oceanographic signatures. Marine predators, including large pelagic fish, marine mammals, seabirds, and fishing vessels, recognize that prey organisms congregate at ocean fronts, eddies, and other physical features. Here we use remote sensing observations from multiple satellite platforms to characteriz...
متن کاملDesign and Application of New Low-Cost Instruments for Marine Environmental Research
The development of low-cost instrumentation plays a key role in marine environmental studies and represents one of the most innovative aspects of current oceanographic research. These kinds of devices can be used for several applications, ranging from vertical profilers to stand-alone systems, and can be installed on different platforms (buoys, Voluntary Observing Ships, underwater vehicles, et...
متن کاملCalcium Isotopic Evidence for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem Structure Prior to the K/Pg Extinction.
The collapse of marine ecosystems during the end-Cretaceous mass extinction involved the base of the food chain [1] up to ubiquitous vertebrate apex predators [2-5]. Large marine reptiles became suddenly extinct at the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary, whereas other contemporaneous groups such as bothremydid turtles or dyrosaurid crocodylomorphs, although affected at the familial, genus, or...
