Copepod Mortality due to Short‐Term Exposure to Natural Ultraviolet Radiation at Subtropical Latitudes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionZooplankton, particularly copepods, are key components in aquatic food webs. However, the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on copepods in marine systems, especially at tropical and subtropical latitudes, are not well understood.

An Annotated Checklist of Symbiotic Copepods of Mollusks in the Global Oceans: A Review of Diversity, Hosts and Geographical Distributions [PDF]
AnimalsSymbiotic copepods have a wide host group, including not only invertebrates but also vertebrates, with variable symbiotic sites and morphological characteristics. Even though symbiotic copepods exhibit remarkable diversity, our knowledge of them is still

A Lagrangian model of copepod dynamics: Clustering by escape jumps in turbulence [PDF]
, 2016 Planktonic copepods are small crustaceans that have the ability to swim by quick powerful jumps. Such an aptness is used to escape from high shear regions, which may be caused either by flow per- turbations, produced by a large predator (i.e., fish ...

Distribution of Arctic and Pacific copepods and their habitat in the northern Bering and Chukchi seas [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 The advection of warm Pacific water and the reduction in sea ice in the western Arctic Ocean may influence the abundance and distribution of copepods, a key component of food webs.

Inhibition of Larval Development of Marine Copepods Acartia tonsa by Neonicotinoids
Toxics, 2022 Neonicotinoids (NEOs) are neurotoxic pesticides widely used in agriculture due to their high effectiveness against pest insects. Despite their widespread use, very little is known about their toxicity towards marine organisms, including sensitive and ...

A model of chlorophyll a destruction by Calanus spp. and implications for the estimation of ingestion rates using the gut fluorescence method [PDF]
, 1998 Chlorophyll a (chl a) destruction by groups of Calanus spp. with different long-term in situ feeding histories was compared. For copepods that had fed during both pre- and early-bloom conditions, degrees of chl a destruction were relatively constant at ...

Does copepods influence dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus) early development?
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 Good knowledge on the development of early life stages is essential for successful conservation programs of threatened fish species. Diet and rearing system affects early life survival and juvenile quality. Copepods are the natural food of fish larvae in
