As part of the DAM pilot mission "MGF Ostsee", the meiobenthic communities of a protected area and a reference area in the Fehmarn Belt (Baltic Sea, Germany) were compared, with...

While the Arctic may be an inhospitable environment at the surface, the benthos is teaming with life. Even though this wealth of life is known to exist, information on the...

The Deep-sea Sponge Microbiome Project is a large-scale study, integrating 16S amplicon sequencing data of seawater, sediment, and sponges, with a large set of ecological and...

1 L samples for further phytoplankton analysis were collected from Nansen bottles installed on a SeaBird CTD Rosette from 3 layers of the water column (usually surface,...

At each station two vertical net tows were taken from the water column using a 20 μm plankton net (438-030, Hydro-Bios, Kiel, Germany) for analyses of plankton and phycotoxins....

The dataset contains species occurrence records of deep-sea benthic fauna distributed along the Brazilian Continental Margin (BCM). Benthic records from existing and openly...

Stomach contents analysis is a standard dietary assessment method that potentially enables quantifying diet components with high taxonomic resolution. We compiled diet...

Fractional trophic levels (i.e., trophic positions) describe the position of organisms within food webs and help define their functional roles in ecosystems (Odum & Heald,...

Bulk stable isotope ratios, primarily of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N), are increasingly used to examine predator-prey interactions and food web structure. We compiled δ13C...

Organisms accumulate major and trace elements (including metals) directly from the external environment and/or indirectly through diet. As such, their elemental composition can...

Quantitative data on diet composition is key to understand prey–predator interactions and to parameterize ecosystem models. We compiled estimates of diet proportions from 26...

Information on the energy density of prey is critical for estimating food requirements and consumption by predators and modelling energy flux through food webs (Van de Putte et...

An experimental approach was developed to assess the individual and combined effects of two climate change stressors (temperature and POC quality) on benthic macrofaunal...

The dataset contains 108 records of major and trace element concentrations measured on (eviscerated) whole bodies of meso- to bathypelagic fish (19 species), decapods (4...

The dataset contains 361 records of energy density values measured on (eviscerated) whole bodies of meso- to bathypelagic fish (49 species), decapods (4 species) and euphausiids...

Oceanic food webs are organized in a continuum from microbial to metazoan linked by trophic interactions. Assessment of the position of organisms in the food web, i.e., their...

Isotopic data are valuable to investigate species interactions and food web structure. This file compiles δ13C and δ15N values of various marine taxa; most of data correspond to...

The dataset presents the number of mesopelagic Decapoda collected during the CSIC-SUMMER survey carried out in October 2010 in five zones around the Iberian Peninsula: south of...

Mesopelagic fish collected during 3 field campaigns in 2020 were analysed for their lipid content. The sampling was conducted on 5 main locations; 2 stations in the Western...

Here, we explored the effects of ocean acidification on marine benthic communities using DNA metabarcoding to assess the diversity of algae and metazoans. Specifically, we...
