Spatial variability of microzooplankton grazing on phytoplankton in coastal southern Florida, USA [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Microzooplankton are considered the primary consumers of phytoplankton in marine environments. Microzooplankton grazing rates on phytoplankton have been studied across the globe, but there are still large regions of the ocean that are understudied, such ...

The Plasticity of the Antioxidant Defence System of Coastal Zooplankton Communities. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this photo, a copepodite Acartia spp. is represented with Vorticella epiphytes. This photo was taken with the help of a PlanktoScope, which belongs to the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research. Photographer: Andriana Koutsandrea. ABSTRACT Zooplankton are expected to enhance their antioxidant defences and activate stress‐related biomarkers in response ...

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

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The dilution experiment technique was used in two cruises in July-August (summer) and October-November (autumn) 2020, with a total of 14 stations. The grazing impact of microzooplankton on phytoplankton in the interior of Bohai Bay was comprehensively ...

High tolerance of microzooplankton to ocean acidification in an Arctic coastal plankton community [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on marine biota have been observed in a wide range of marine systems. We used a mesocosm approach to study the response of a high Arctic coastal microzooplankton community during the post-bloom period in Kongsfjorden ...

Microzooplankton Communities in a Changing Ocean: A Risk Assessment
Diversity, 2021 Microzooplankton communities are fundamental components of marine food webs and have the potential to impact the functioning of carbon pumps. The identification of common responses of microzooplankton to global change has been challenging due to their ...

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 ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Ocean artificial upwelling has been suggested to boost primary production and increase harvestable resources such as fish. Yet, for this ecosystem-based approach to work, an effective energy transfer up the food web is required.

Seasonal and size-dependent variations in the phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in the southern South China Sea under the influence of the East Asian monsoon [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 To examine seasonal and size-dependent variations in the phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in oligotrophic tropical waters under the influence of seasonal reversing monsoon, dilution experiments were conducted during the summer of 2009 ...

Microzooplankton growth rates examined across a temperature gradient in the Barents Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Growth rates (µ) of abundant microzooplankton species were examined in field experiments conducted at ambient sea temperatures (-1.8-9.0°C) in the Barents Sea and adjacent waters (70-78.5°N).
