  abstract = {{O}ceanic eddies are recognized as pivotal components in marine ecosystems, believed to concentrate a wide range of marine life spanning from phytoplankton to top predators. {P}revious studies have posited that marine predators are drawn to these eddies due to an aggregation of their forage fauna. {I}n this study, we examine the response of forage fauna, detected by shipboard acoustics, across a broad sample of a thousand eddies across the world's oceans. {W}hile our findings show an impact of eddies on surface temperatures and phytoplankton in most cases, they reveal that only a minority (13%) exhibit significant effects on forage fauna, with only 6% demonstrating an oasis effect. {W}e also show that an oasis effect can occur both in anticyclonic and cyclonic eddies, and that the few high-impact eddies are marked by high eddy amplitude and strong water-mass-trapping. {O}ur study underscores the nuanced and complex nature of the aggregating role of oceanic eddies, highlighting the need for further research to elucidate how these structures attract marine predators. {T}his study explores alternative stable states in microbial communities. {F}ocusing on a respiratory tract community of 6 species, the authors identified four distinct stable states that are predicted to be driven by cooperative growth. {T}he findings contrast with the common association between competitive interactions and multistability in microbial communities. {U}sing a sample of a thousand eddies across the world's oceans, this study examines the response of forage fauna detected by shipboard acoustics. {T}he findings show that a minority of eddies exhibit significant effects on forage fauna, but that an oasis effect can sometimes occur. {T}his highlights the need for further research to elucidate how eddies might attract marine predators.},
