Spatial and temporal patterns of the zooplankton in the Westerschelde estuary [PDF]
, 1993 The invertebrate zooplankton fauna of the Westerschelde (Belgium and The Netherlands) was investigated during 2 yr by means of monthly samples along a salinity gradient.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1077-1091, July 2023., 2023 Abstract We analysed the robustness of species identification based on proteomic composition to data processing and intraspecific variability, specificity and sensitivity of species‐markers as well as discriminatory power of proteomic fingerprinting and its sensitivity to phylogenetic distance.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 We investigated the spatial and taxonomic differences in algae‐produced long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid retention (i.e., LC‐PUFA; with ≥20 carbon atoms) in common fish predators (i.e., European perch and roach) in the coastal areas of the northern Baltic Sea.

Morphological types and seasonal variation in eggs of zooplankton species from bottom sediments in Bahia Blanca Estuary, Argentina [PDF]
, 2006 Resting egg production is a survival mechanism in zooplankton species against adverse environmental conditions. Egg accumulation in the upper layer of the bottom sediments is fundamental to the resurgence of the populations of these species when ...

Copepods' true colors: astaxanthin pigmentation as an indicator of fitness
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Pigmentation is often overlooked in zooplankton, since these organisms are mostly colorless to fit the translucid water medium. However, one of the dominant zooplankton taxa in aquatic ecosystems—copepods—often show a bright red‐orange or blue coloration owing to the accumulation of carotenoid pigments in some parts of their bodies.

Insights into the morphology and molecular characterisation of glacial relict Eurytemora lacustris (Poppe, 1887) (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida, Temoridae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2019 Eurytemora lacustris (Poppe, 1887) is a stenothermic glacial relict whose narrow environmental requirements make it an indicator species for good ecological conditions. The primary threats to this species are eutrophication and global warming.

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 ...

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 466-487, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Early life stages of fish (eggs and larvae) are particularly vulnerable with mortality rates of up to 99% recorded for a large number of species. High mortality rates result from the limited swimming ability of larvae preventing them from escaping sub‐optimal environmental conditions, predators or low prey density areas.
