Excess mortality in osteoarthritis

Abstract

The gravitational biological pump is not large enough to account for microbial heterotrophic activity in the mesopelagic ocean. Migrating zooplankton may be a key source of organic matter transport to depth. Here we show signatures of zooplankton in the suspended organic matter at the zooplankton vertical migration depth in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Oxygen Deficient Zone (ETNP ODZ). We examine the mesozooplankton...
