Drivers and uncertainties of future global marine primary production in marine ecosystem models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Past model studies have projected a global decrease in marine net primary production (NPP) over the 21st century, but these studies focused on the multi-model mean rather than on the large inter-model differences. Here, we analyze model-simulated changes

Arctic‐breeding black‐legged kittiwakes show individual variation in foraging responses to glacial conditions without consequences for reproductive output

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Behavioural plasticity is likely to influence how individuals continue to access resources under rapid climate change. Plasticity will be particularly important at highly dynamic, prey‐rich foraging areas such as upwelling fronts of marine‐terminating glaciers in the high Arctic, where profitability varies significantly across space and time ...

Epipelagic mesozooplankton distribution and abundance over the Mascarene Plateau and Basin, south-western Indian Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The crescent shaped Mascarene Plateau (southwestern Indian Ocean), some 2200 km in length, forms a partial barrier to the (predominantly westward) flow of the South Equatorial Current. Shallow areas of the Mascarene Plateau effectively form a large shelf

Physical Processes Driving Carbon Subduction in the Southern Ocean in an Eddy‐Permitting Model

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Southern Ocean south of 35°S represents a small source of natural inorganic carbon for the atmosphere but a major sink of anthropogenic carbon. The magnitude of the inorganic carbon sink, and the sequestration of inorganic and organic carbon strongly depend on the rate at which they are subducted below the mixed layer.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

The control of indirect effects of biomanipulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Results from long-term investigations on biomanipulation show that indirect effects are at least as important as direct effects are for the stability of biomanipulation.

Acoustic Observations Unveil Seasonal Fluctuations and Regulation of Zooplankton Biomass and Its Vertical Distribution at a Mid‐Latitude Long‐Term Ocean Observatory

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Zooplanktonic organisms are considered a key link between different trophic levels. The ecosystem structure and dynamics are affected by changes in their population and phenology. In this work, the causes and timing of changes within the seasonal cycle of zooplankton biomass vertical distribution in oceanic waters of the Bay of Biscay were ...

Beiträge zum Mesozooplankton des Nordsylter Wattenmeers

open access: yesHelgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen, 1980
Contributions to the mesozooplankton of the northern Wadden Sea of Sylt. From June 1975 to June 1976 temperature, salinity, mesozooplankton (>76 µm), phytoplankton and seston (dry weight, particulate organic carbon and nitrogen) were measured at different stations in the northern Wadden Sea of Sylt (German Bight, North Sea).

Intraspecific variation in prey quality affects the consumption rates of top predators

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 65-83, January 2026.
This study reveals overlooked intraspecific variation in prey quality and its influence on predator energy budgets. By identifying key ecological drivers, we emphasize the need to integrate such variability into bioenergetic models to improve predictions of predator foraging and ecosystem responses to environmental change.

Species Distribution Models for Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton Community

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography
ABSTRACTAimWe aimed to enhance our understanding of the distribution of mesopelagic mesozooplankton (MM) using species distribution models, assess the performance of various modelling techniques, identify key environmental predictors for MM distribution and compute their habitat suitability indices.LocationOur study focused on the mesopelagic zone ...
