Myctophids, also known as lanternfish, are considered a key connection between the deep ocean food web and marine life closer to the surface. (Austin Straub / For the Times) For several years now, one ...

Ocean warming and ocean acidification driven by climate change decrease the nutritional quality of some marine organisms, causing disruptions to the ocean food web. This is the main conclusion of a ...

New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean's ability to buffer against climate change.

Marine heat waves in the northeast Pacific Ocean create ongoing and complex disruptions of the ocean food web that may benefit some species but threaten the future of many others, a new study has ...

The majority of life in the ocean is microscopic and constitutes the base of the ocean food web, driving large-scale, global processes – for example, organisms such as phytoplanktons produce around ...

Drilling for minerals deep in the ocean could have immense consequences for the tiny animals at the core of the vast marine food web — and ultimately affect fisheries and the food we find on our ...
