Blennies may provide key food web links between detritus, inverts, & algae they consume & bigger fish that eat them! I had a great time sharing my work on what stable isotopes & DNA metabarcoding can reveal about their trophic roles at the Texas Bays & Estuaries Mtg! @UTMSI

Mesozooplankton is a key component of the ocean, regulating global processes such as the carbon pump, and ensuring energy transfer from lower to higher trophic levels. Yet, knowledge on mesozooplan...
Here is our new preprint "Global mesozooplankton communities show lower connectivity in deep oceanic layers", where we applied DNA metabarcoding to mesozooplankton samples collected during the Malaspina-2010 circumnavigation expedition. https://t.co/dahVhe1U3R
