Arctic copepod copper sensitivity and comparison with Antarctic and temperate copepods
EcotoxicologyAbstractThe ongoing global climate crisis increases temperatures in polar regions faster and with greater magnitude than elsewhere. The decline of Arctic sea ice opens up new passages, eventually leading to higher anthropogenic activities such as shipping, fishing, and mining.

Prey detection in a cruising copepod [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2011 Small cruising zooplankton depend on remote prey detection and active prey capture for efficient feeding. Direct, passive interception of prey is inherently very inefficient at low Reynolds numbers because the viscous boundary layer surrounding the approaching predator will push away potential prey. Yet, direct interception has been proposed to explain

Cancer Science, EarlyView.MAP 17 is identified as highly expressed in TMZ‐resistant glioblastoma‐initiating cells (GICs). MAP17 enhances GIC proliferation, TMZ resistance, and tumorigenicity through NF‐κB/RELA‐dependent BCL2 upregulation. ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults.

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.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Possible Role of Fish and Frogs as Paratenic Hosts of Dracunculus medinensis, Chad
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 Copepods infected with Dracunculus medinensis larvae collected from infected dogs in Chad were fed to 2 species of fish and tadpoles. Although they readily ingested copepods, neither species of fish, Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) nor fathead ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Biological effects of El Niño 1997-98 on a shallow subtropical ecosystem: Bahía Magdalena, Mexico [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2003 Sea surface temperature (SST), zooplankton biomass and chlorophyll a concentration, along with abundance of four copepod species: Acartia clausi, Acartia lilljeborgii, Paracalanus parvus and Calanus pacificus, and eggs and larvae of small pelagic fishes:

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011 The Afro-Asian freshwater copepod Mesocyclops aspericornis (Daday, 1906), deemed as an exotic species in the Americas, is known to occur disjunctly in Mexico, South America, and the insular Caribbean.
