Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Mesozooplankton community distribution on the Agulhas Bank in autumn: Size structure and production
Deep-sea research. Part II, Topical studies in oceanography, 2021 The Agulhas Bank on the tip of southern Africa, like other shelf seas, is a relatively productive environment which plays a crucial role in the biology and success of many commercially valuable fish species. Fish and their larvae depend on zooplankton to

Oikos, EarlyView.The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine

Global mesozooplankton communities show lower connectivity in deep oceanic layers
Molecular EcologyMesozooplankton is a key component of the ocean, regulating global processes such as the carbon pump, and ensuring energy transfer from lower to higher trophic levels.

Contrasting Food Web Dynamics Across Oceanographic Boundaries in Subarctic Pelagic Ecosystems
Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the structure of pelagic food webs across multiple trophic levels is critical for elucidating species interactions, energy flow, and anthropogenic impacts on production. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the eastern North Pacific pelagic food webs, focusing on the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) during late winter of 2019.

Distribution patterns of mesozooplankton biomass in the North Sea [PDF]
Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen, 1990 During spring 1986 and winter 1987, zooplankton samples were collected over the entire North Sea by means of a multi-closing net-system. Before taxonomic treatment, wet weight estimates and carbon content conversions were carried out. From this data set, 4 962 522 tons zooplankton biomass (dry weight) were estimated for the whole North Sea during the ...

Theoretical Ecology, 2021 Mesozooplankton play a key role in marine ecosystems as they modulate the transfer of energy from phytoplankton to large marine organisms. In addition, they directly influence the oceanic cycles of carbon and nutrients through vertical migrations, fecal ...

Changes in mesozooplankton of the southern Baltic in 1979-1988 [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1991 Composition, abundance, biomass and vertical distribution of mesozooplankton are compared over a ten-year period using data collected in the Gdańsk, Gotland, and Bornholm Deeps in 1979-1988. Some changes in the dominance structure among Copepoda were observed. Biomass values, compared with earlier data, were high.
