Dear MARMAM community,

On behalf of my coauthors, I am happy to share the publication of the following paper in Limnology and Oceanography: 

Woodstock MS, Kiszka J, Ramírez-León MR, Sutton TT, Fennel K, Wang B, Zhang Y. Cetacean-mediated vertical nitrogen transport in the oceanic realm. Limnology and Oceanography. DOI: 10.1002/lno.12433

Link to the paper: https://aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lno.12433 

This paper shows that cetaceans in oceanic ecosystems contribute to nutrient movements and recycling in the oceanic Gulf of Mexico. They provide one of the few sources of nutrients for primary producers in oligotrophic ecosystems. 

Please email me (matthew.woodstock@morgan.edu) if you need a pdf copy of the paper or if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,

Matt Woodstock
