Species determination by OBIS from water samples taken during the PHYCOB crui...
1 L samples for further phytoplankton analysis were collected from Nansen bottles installed on a SeaBird CTD Rosette from 3 layers of the water column (usually surface,... -
Species determination in plankton net (20 µm) concentrates by light microscop...
At each station two vertical net tows were taken from the water column using a 20 μm plankton net (438-030, Hydro-Bios, Kiel, Germany) for analyses of plankton and phycotoxins.... -
Database of deep-sea benthic fauna occurrences along the Brazilian Continenta...
The dataset contains species occurrence records of deep-sea benthic fauna distributed along the Brazilian Continental Margin (BCM). Benthic records from existing and openly... -
Compilation of stomach content data for mesopelagic fish and predator species...
Stomach contents analysis is a standard dietary assessment method that potentially enables quantifying diet components with high taxonomic resolution. We compiled diet... -
Compilation of trophic positions of marine biota from the central and Northea...
Fractional trophic levels (i.e., trophic positions) describe the position of organisms within food webs and help define their functional roles in ecosystems (Odum & Heald,... -
Compilation of stable nitrogen and carbon isotope ratios of marine biota from...
Bulk stable isotope ratios, primarily of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N), are increasingly used to examine predator-prey interactions and food web structure. We compiled δ13C... -
Compilation of major and trace element concentrations in mesopelagic and othe...
Organisms accumulate major and trace elements (including metals) directly from the external environment and/or indirectly through diet. As such, their elemental composition can... -
Compilation of diet proportions of mesopelagic fish from the central and Nort...
Quantitative data on diet composition is key to understand prey–predator interactions and to parameterize ecosystem models. We compiled estimates of diet proportions from 26... -
Compilation of energy density of marine biota from the Northeast Atlantic and...
Information on the energy density of prey is critical for estimating food requirements and consumption by predators and modelling energy flux through food webs (Van de Putte et... -
Macrofauna from stable isotope tracer incubation experiments under climate ch...
An experimental approach was developed to assess the individual and combined effects of two climate change stressors (temperature and POC quality) on benthic macrofaunal... -
Elemental composition of deep pelagic fish and crustaceans sampled between 20...
The dataset contains 108 records of major and trace element concentrations measured on (eviscerated) whole bodies of meso- to bathypelagic fish (19 species), decapods (4... -
Energy density of deep pelagic fish and crustaceans sampled between 2002 and ...
The dataset contains 361 records of energy density values measured on (eviscerated) whole bodies of meso- to bathypelagic fish (49 species), decapods (4 species) and euphausiids... -
Compilation of new estimations on trophic positions of marine biota from the ...
Oceanic food webs are organized in a continuum from microbial to metazoan linked by trophic interactions. Assessment of the position of organisms in the food web, i.e., their... -
Compilation of new data on stable nitrogen and carbon isotope ratios of marin...
Isotopic data are valuable to investigate species interactions and food web structure. This file compiles δ13C and δ15N values of various marine taxa; most of data correspond to... -
Abundance of mesopelagic decapods collected at different layers of the water ...
The dataset presents the number of mesopelagic Decapoda collected during the CSIC-SUMMER survey carried out in October 2010 in five zones around the Iberian Peninsula: south of... -
Lipid class composition of mesopelagic fish from the North Atlantic Ocean and...
Mesopelagic fish collected during 3 field campaigns in 2020 were analysed for their lipid content. The sampling was conducted on 5 main locations; 2 stations in the Western... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and taxonomic diversity of benthic communities u...
Here, we explored the effects of ocean acidification on marine benthic communities using DNA metabarcoding to assess the diversity of algae and metazoans. Specifically, we... -
Compilation of stomach content data from temperate Atlantic and western Medit...
This file contains data on mesopelagic fish stomach content reported as the number of prey categories in each fish stomach and their carbon masses. These data come from samples... -
Abundance of larvae and transforming stages of mesopelagic fish collected at ...
This file contains data on numerical abundance of larvae and transforming stages of fishes collected during the CSIC-SUMMER survey carried out in October 2010 in five zones... -
Global compilation of stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values...
Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has emerged as a valuable tool for understanding the trophic structure of the marine food web and gaining insights into trophic levels and niche....
