We’ve all heard of the world’s most massive sharks, both past and present. The megalodon, the great white shark, and the ...

A Rice University study sheds light on the extraordinary evolution of anglerfish, a group of deep-sea dwellers whose bizarre adaptations have captivated scientists and the public alike. The research, ...

After that, anglerfishes rapidly diversified in the 'midnight' (bathypelagic) zone of the oceans, which is likely a result of the ecological opportunities afforded by this new habitat.

Then there’s the bathypelagic zone, also called the midnight zone, and, beneath that, the abyssopelagic zone — as in, the abyssal zone — that extends from 13,100 feet (4,000 meters) to ...

This range is known as the Bathypelagic Zone or midnight zone. According to the NOAA, the temperature there remains constant – around 39 degrees – because sunlight is unable to penetrate water ...

At this sea depth, which is also known as the bathypelagic zone, there is complete darkness. The midnight zone is located between 1,000 metres and 4,000 metres below the surface.

This finding is the most surprising of the study, for the bathypelagic zone did not constrain evolution as expected despite its apparent lack of ecological diversity.
