Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton plays a vital role in biological carbon pump and food web interactions. However, there is considerable debate about the DVM of zooplankton in response to environmental changes in the Arctic Ocean.

Behavior out of control: Experimental evolution of resistance to host manipulation
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Many parasites alter their host's phenotype in a manner that enhances their own fitness beyond the benefits they would gain from normal exploitation. Such host manipulation is rarely consistent with the host's best interests resulting in suboptimal and ...

Habitat Complexity Alters Predator-Prey Interactions in a Shallow Water Ecosystem
Diversity, 2022 Habitat complexity can profoundly influence interactions between predators and their prey due to changes to foraging efficiencies. In aquatic systems, habitat alterations can alter pursuit times and swimming behaviours of predator–prey participants ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The paracalanid copepod, Bestiolina amoyensis, is a widely distributed species occurring in subtropical inshore waters across the Pacific Ocean. Its small size, herbivorous feeding habit, and high adaptability make the species one of the most promising ...

Sex Reversal in Copepods [PDF]
Nature, 1948 BETWEEN February and June 1947, 20·5 per cent of the males, 3·7 per cent of the females and 0·3 per cent of the copepodids of Pseudocalanus elongatus Boeck, collected from six stations between Flamborough Head and the Dogger Bank, were found to be parasitized by Blastodinium contortum hyalinum Chatton. Almost all the observed parasites were found to be

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Marine Drugs, 2012 High irradiation and the presence of xenobiotics favor the formation of reactive oxygen species in marine environments. Organisms have developed antioxidant defenses, including the accumulation of carotenoids that must be obtained from the diet ...
