Characterization of the vertical distribution of plankton and the formation of thin layers in the northern Gulf of Mexico using digital holography

Gelaysi Moreno, Anvita U. Kerkar, Aditya R. Nayak…·Rubens M. Lopes

The paper uses digital holography to study plankton vertical distribution and thin layer formation in the northern Gulf of Mexico, finding that salt-wedge dynamics drive phytoplankton aggregation while zooplankton remain broadly distributed.

Prochlorococcus predation by a globally abundant filter feeder

Carey P. Sweeney, Avery Harman, Anvita U. Kerkar…·Anne Thompson

This study experimentally examines Prochlorococcus predation by appendicularians, finding retention rates increase with prey concentration and predator age, and that both ecotypes HLI and HLII are equally grazed.
