• Impacts of ontogenetically migrating copepods on downward carbon flux in the western subarctic Pacific Ocean (2008, background): “…of diel vertical migrators in the subtropical 388 Atlantic also showed that migrants fed on a wide variety of plant, animal, and detrital material 389 (Schnetzer and Steinberg 2002a) and that the majority the migrant diet originated from non-plant 390 material (Schnetzer and Steinberg 2002b).”
• A comparison of mesopelagic mesozooplankton community structure in the subtropical and subarctic North Pacific Ocean (2008, background): “…surface-ingested POC after their descent to daytime mesopelagic residence depths 61 (Flint et al., 1991; Atkinson et al., 1996; Morales, 1999; Schnetzer and Steinberg, 2002a) or by 62 respiring and excreting this C in a dissolved form at depth (e.g., Longhurst et al., 1990; Zhang 63 and Dam,…”
• A review of the adaptive significance and ecosystem consequences of zooplankton diel vertical migrations (2003, background): “By feeding near the surface at night, and then fasting at depth during the day where they continue to defecate, respire and excrete, migrating zooplankton may remove carbon and nitrogen from the surface layers and release it at depth (Longhurst & Harrison, 1989; Hays et al., 1997; Schnetzer & Stein”
• Quantification of zooplankton trophic position in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre using stable nitrogen isotopes (2009, background): “Our AA-based estimates (TPglu-phe 5 2.7–2.9) are consistent with research that has found P. xiphias to be an opportunistic omnivore with a largely animal-based diet (Schnetzer and Steinberg 2002b).”
