       'Aim: Test the response of mesopelagic zooplankton community composition and distributional ranges to dispersal potential and environment, in comparison with the epipelagic zooplankton community. Location: Epipelagic (0–200 m) and mesopelagic (200–1000 m) depth zones of the North Pacific Ocean. Taxon: Multicellular zooplankton. Methods:Metabarcoding of two molecular markers (18S and COI) in combination with a global ocean circulation model, analysed by General Dissimilarity Modelling. Results: We found no significant difference in beta-diversity across three depth strata (0–200, 200–500, and 500–1000 m), calculated from the nMDS dispersion of samples within each stratum. Similarity in beta-diversity within the three depth strata indicates that epipelagic and mesopelagic zooplankton communities have similar levels of spatial turnover in species composition despite differences in the magnitude of environmental gradients and dispersal potential. There were no differences in the biogeographic ranges of taxa associated with each depth zone, but we observed larger temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen habitat envelopes as well as narrower potential food ranges for deeper-dwelling taxa. Ocean basin-scale community dissimilarity was correlated with dispersal distance, as well as with changes in temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen concentration, and food flux. Combined Generalised Dissimilarity Models incorporating both dispersal potential and environmental habitat variables revealed that the environmental variables temperature and food flux had the strongest predictive power to explain community dissimilarity.',

+      'Macroalgal carbon export estimates make assumptions about lateral transport away from the coast and vertical export to deep ocean sinks. Yet, few studies have resolved these pathways. This paper tests lateral surface transport and vertical export assumptions using the Southwest Greenland continental shelf and the Labrador Sea as a testbed. Macroalgae grow on Greenlands rocky shoreline and previous studies have documented oceanographic connectivity between coastal and offshore regions. This study analyzed 1380 Sentinel-2 satellite images to find 7973 patches of floating macroalgae on the SW Greenland shelf and in the Labrador Sea, providing evidence of their presence on the shelf and offshore waters. Since satellite imagery provides a snapshot of macroalgal positions at a given time, 305 surface drifter trajectories and a Lagrangian particle tracking model (LPTM) are used to quantify residence times and transport pathways. The average drifter-derived surface residence times on the SW Greenland shelf and the Labrador Sea are 12.1 days and 63.6 days, respectively. Applying results from studies of macroalgal longevity, the drifter-derived residence times suggest that macroalgae can remain intact during their transit of the shelf, allowing them to sink in deeper water offshore. The LPTM traced the origins and pathways of selected patches in June 2018. To explore vertical export mechanisms, a Large Eddy Simulation revealed that deep convection can transport buoyant macroalgae to depths where their gas vesicles implode, expediting sinking. These interdisciplinary findings indicate that Greenlands macroalgal ecosystems can supply detrital carbon to the adjacent shelf and open ocean and highlight the importance of testing key transport assumptions used to estimate macroalgal contributions to carbon sequestration.',
