Zooplankton Composition in the Southwestern Sea of Marmara During the Summer Season
The Sea of Marmara (SoM) is a highly sensitive semi-enclosed marine ecosystem that has been undergoing considerable ecological changes in the recent decades.

Seasonal changes in the population dynamics of Aurelia aurita in Thau lagoon [PDF]
Seasonal dynamics of the scyphomedusae, Aurelia aurita, was investigated twice a month from January 2010 to June 2011 and related to environmental conditions in Thau lagoon, southwestern Mediterranean Sea.

Food consumption by clupeids in the Central Baltic: evidence for top-down control? [PDF]
Considerable changes have taken place in the pelagic ecosystem of the Central Baltic Sea during the last decade. Owing to a combination of high fishing pressure and unfavourable hydrographic conditions, the cod (Gadus morhua) stock as the top predator in

Abstract Southern Ocean phytoplankton have unique traits that allow them to survive extreme environmental conditions of low iron, light, and temperature. These traits are not well represented in Earth System Models and may lead to misrepresentation of the bloom seasonal cycle in this critical oceanic region.

The distribution of estuarine fish larvae: nutritional condition and co-occurrence with predators and prey [PDF]
Fish larvae were collected monthly between March and September 1997 in the Mira and Guadiana estuaries (southern Portugal). Hydrological parameters were registered and zooplankton samples were obtained simultaneously. Densities of fish larvae (ind.100 m(-

Abstract Climate change is projected to cause elevated precipitation in northern Europe, leading to increased runoff of terrestrial matter to coastal areas. The consequences for food web production and ecosystem function remain unclear. A mesocosm experiment was performed to investigate the impacts of elevated terrestrial matter input, using a natural ...

Coupling the PLANKTOM5.0 marine ecosystem model to the OCCAM 1º ocean general circulation model for investigation of the sensitivity of global biogeochemical cycles to variations in ecosystem complexity and physical environment [PDF]
The earliest marine ecosystem models consisted of a simple representation of the main features of marine ecosystems, including, typically, variables for phytoplankton, zooplankton, nutrient and detritus (NPZD models).

Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and stochasticity of extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, storm‐induced mixing, or prolonged drought periods. This results in more variable regimes of dissolved nutrients and carbon in lakes and induces temporal fluctuations in the resource availability for plankton communities ...

Multi-year mesozooplankton flux trends in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard [PDF]
Abstract We conducted this study to investigate the relationship between environmental stressors and mesozooplankton fluxes in inner Kongsfjorden, Svalbard. The ongoing Arctic amplification, characterized by phenomena such as increased temperatures, glacial and watershed runoff, and diminishing ice cover, poses ...

Abstract Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea has caused an imbalance in the inorganic nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio, leaving excess phosphate (PO4) after the phytoplankton spring bloom that terminates after N depletion. Using monitoring data, we demonstrated that the PO4 concentration has continued to increase in the outermost Gulf of Finland ...
