Movement and trophic ecology of large pelagic fishes connecting surface waters with the Ocean’s Twilight Zone Open
The ocean’s twilight zone is a vast area of the global ocean that lies between the sunlit surface waters and perpetually dark midnight zones, covering depths from ~200 to 1000 meters. Recent work in the twilight (or mesopelagic) zone has r…

Subsidies and allocation: A legacy of distortion and intergenerational loss Open
One of the greatest threats to the conservation of transboundary stocks is the failure of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to equitably allocate future fishing opportunities. Across RFMOs, catch history remains the princ…

Influence of 16S rRNA variable region on perceived diversity of marine microbial communities of the Northern North Atlantic Open
Marine microbes play essential roles in global energy and nutrient cycles. A primary method of determining their diversity and distribution is through sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA genes from environmental samples. However, the perceived…

Identifying Determinants of Intervention Sustainability in Cancer Survivorship Care Open
Background: Substantial gains could be made in reducing the cancer burden if current scientific evidence was applied in practice. The World Health Organization estimates that, worldwide, one-third of cancer cases could be prevented and ano…
