Interactions between Benthic Copepods, Bacteria and Diatoms Promote Nitrogen Retention in Intertidal Marine Sediments [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The present study aims at evaluating the impact of diatoms and copepods on microbial processes mediating nitrate removal in fine-grained intertidal sediments.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007 Cyclopoid copepods have proved more effective for practical mosquito control than any other invertebrate predator of mosquito larvae. Their operational potential is enhanced by the fact that mass production is relatively easy and inexpensive. The exceptional potential of copepods for mosquito control was first realized about 25 years ago.

Effects of microplastics on marine copepods
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Microplastic contamination has been considered as a global environmental problem in marine ecosystem. Due to small size (< 5 mm) in overlapping with that of microalgae, microplastics can easily be ingested by a wide range of marine copepods both in the laboratory and in situ.

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 ...

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

Copepods’ Response to Burgers’ Vortex: Deconstructing Interactions of Copepods with Turbulence [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2015 This study examined the behavioral response of two marine copepods, Acartia tonsa and Temora longicornis, to a Burgers' vortex intended to mimic the characteristics of a turbulent vortex that a copepod is likely to encounter in the coastal or near-surface zone.
