Stoichiometric regulation in micro- and mesozooplankton [PDF]
Journal of Plankton Research, 2015 Aquatic ecosystems experience large natural variation in elemental composition of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), which is further enhanced by human activities.

Interactions between zooplankton and crude oil: toxic effects and bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We conducted ship-, shore- and laboratory-based crude oil exposure experiments to investigate (1) the effects of crude oil (Louisiana light sweet oil) on survival and bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mesozooplankton ...

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Mesozooplankton grazing in the coastal Gulf of Alaska: Neocalanus spp. vs. other mesozooplankton [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2007 Abstract Liu, H., Dagg, J. M., Napp, J. M., and Sato, R. 2008. Mesozooplankton grazing in the coastal Gulf of Alaska: Neocalanus spp. vs. other mesozooplankton. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 351–360. Three species of large calanoid copepod, Neocalanus flemingeri, Neocalanus plumchrus, and Neocalanus cristatus, dominate the spring

Active Carbon Flux of Mesozooplankton in South China Sea and Western Philippine Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The active carbon flux mediated by diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is an important component of the downward carbon flux in the ocean. However, active fluxes transported by zooplankton DVM are poorly known in the South China Sea (SCS) and ...

Impacts of hypoxia on the mesozooplankton community structure in a semi-enclosed bay
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Gamak Bay is frequently affected by hypoxia in summer. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of hypoxia on the mesozooplankton community of this region. Mesozooplankton samples were obtained biweekly (28 times) at a hypoxic station (inner bay)

Seasonal dynamics of mesozooplankton biomass over a sub‐Arctic continental shelf
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Mesozooplankton research in high latitude ecosystems tends to focus on different life stages of Calanus spp. due to its biomass dominance and trophic roles. However, a complex seasonal succession of abundant smaller mesozooplankton taxa suggests that the

Mesozooplankton size structure in the Canary Current System
Marine Environmental Research, 2023 Changes in plankton composition influences the dynamics of marine food webs and carbon sinking rates. Understanding the core structure and function of the plankton distribution is of paramount importance to know their role in trophic transfer and efficiency. Here, we studied the zooplankton distribution, abundance, composition, and size spectra for the

Benthic Microalgae Respond More Strongly to Warming and Salinity Than Zooplankton. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe effects of multiple simultaneous stressors on different trophic levels are poorly known. Warming changed the composition of both benthic diatom and zooplankton communities, but the interaction of warming and decreasing salinity affected only benthic diatoms. ABSTRACT The effects of elevated temperature are pronounced in high latitudes where warming
