Spatial Distribution Pattern of the Mesozooplankton Community in Ross Sea Region Marine Protected Area (RSR MPA) during Summer

Diversity
The Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area (RSR MPA) is one of the most productive regions in the Southern Ocean. Mesozooplankton intermediates the primary product to the higher predators, such as penguins and seals, in this ecosystem.

Unifying Retaria Research: A Common Framework for Studying Foraminifera and Radiolaria

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 6, June 2026.
Research on Foraminifera and Radiolaria has predominantly focused on their fossil remains. This synthesis identifies the “Big Five” disciplines of a unified Retaria research: diversity and evolution, ecology, life cycles, and ecosystem roles, highlighting this lineage as a model system for understanding life's resilience in a rapidly changing planet ...

Diversity and Distribution of Mesozooplankton in the Coastal Southwestern Mediterranean Alboran Sea, during Summer: What Are the Driving Factors?

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The southern Alboran Sea is a dynamic ecosystem and is highly influenced by Atlantic waters. Unfortunately, despite the importance of the mesozooplankton in this ecosystem, the number of studies on this ecosystem is low.

Temporal and along-shelf distribution of the larval fish assemblage at Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

Scientia Marina, 2009
Temporal and spatial variations of the larval fish community off the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) were studied in weekly surveys from October 2005 to June 2006.

Ocean acidification effects on mesozooplankton community development: Results from a long-term mesocosm experiment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Ocean acidification may affect zooplankton directly by decreasing in pH, as well as indirectly via trophic pathways, where changes in carbon availability or pH effects on primary producers may cascade up the food web thereby altering ecosystem ...

Comparison of a Cost-Effective Integrated Plankton Sampling and Imaging Instrument with Traditional Systems for Mesozooplankton Sampling in the Celtic Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Three plankton collection methods were used to gather plankton samples in the Celtic Sea in October 2016. The Plankton Image Analysis (PIA) system is a high-speed color line scan-based imaging instrument, which continuously pumps water, takes images of ...

Taxocene of pelagic copepods in coastal waters of the Argentine Islands, West coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, in 2021—2022

Український антарктичний журнал, 2022
Pelagic ecosystems are changing in response to the recent climate warming. The mesozooplankton and copepods in particular are important indicators of the state of aquatic ecosystems.

Time‐Varying Cycling Rates of Size‐fractionated Particulate Organic Carbon During the Decay of a North Atlantic Spring Bloom

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The concentrations of particulate organic carbon (POC) in the ocean are the result of a dynamic balance between multiple sources and sinks. Here, measurements of POC concentration in the small size fraction (SSF; 1–5 μm ${\upmu }\mathrm{m}$) and the large size fraction (LSF; >5μm ${ >} 5\ {\upmu }\mathrm{m}$) from the North Atlantic EXport ...

East‐West Variability in Nitrogen Sources Sustaining Pelagic Food Webs in the Subtropical North Pacific Ocean Revealed by Stable Isotopic Analyses

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Biological N2 fixation sustains pelagic ecosystems in subtropical oligotrophic waters. However, its impact on food webs as a nitrogen source remains poorly understood. Here, we quantified the contribution of diazotroph‐derived nitrogen to grazing food chains in the subtropical North Pacific in summer, where N2 fixation activity varies markedly

Dynamic factor analysis of mesozooplankton variability in the Gulf of Cádiz

Frontiers in Marine Science
Mesozooplankton plays a key role in pelagic ecosystems, acting as an intermediate trophic link and a modulator of biogeochemical cycles. However, its dynamics remain poorly understood on the northeastern shelf of the Gulf of Cádiz, a highly productive ...
