The paper links UV sterilization in a New England oyster hatchery to increased oxylipins and other compounds that harm larval development, but also introduces a bacterial pathogen when UV is removed.

This study examines lipidomic changes in Arctic copepods under different levels of Atlantification, finding reduced storage lipids and altered fatty acid profiles linked to decreased carbon sequestration.

The paper develops an optimized lipid extraction protocol and hybrid annotation pipeline for individual chitinous mesozooplankton, improving lipid recovery and annotation accuracy.

This study shows viral infection of diatoms increases oxylipin production, enhancing carbon export in the ocean despite viral shunt processes.
