Literature Studies: All pyrosome observations described in published literature
studies have been compiled by Lilly et al. in 'LiteratureStudies_PyrosomeObs_All.csv',
with associated dates, positions, and references. The subset of those observations that
includes vertical water column depth ('Depth') or colony density ('Density') information
is included in 'LiteratureStudies_PyrosomeObs_DensityDepth.csv'. More information on all
literature studies on pyrosomes is available in: Lilly et al. (in review). A Global
Review of Pyrosomes: Shedding light on the ocean’s elusive gelatinous
