Eukaryotic biodiversity and ecological networks from the surface to the mesopelagic in the Northwest Atlantic Slope Water

The paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to study eukaryotic biodiversity and ecological networks in the Northwest Atlantic Slope Water, revealing depth-specific communities and the role of protists in network stability.

A nonequilibrium framework for community responses to pulse perturbations

The paper introduces a nonequilibrium framework to analyze community responses to pulse perturbations, showing that amplification of perturbed abundances depends on community state in the short term but not in the long term.

Small phytoplankton community composition cycles annually with a coastal bloom

The paper examines annual cycles in small phytoplankton community composition using 18S rRNA sequencing and flow cytometry data from a coastal site on the Northeast U.S. Shelf, identifying key taxa and seasonal patterns.
