Decadal Bowhead Whale Baleen Stable Isotope and Hormone Chronologies (1985–2010) Provide Insight Into Arctic Ecosystem Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Long‐term chronologies constructed from individual bowhead baleen plates reveal stable isotope declines consistent with regional Arctic food web or productivity changes superimposed on global anthropogenic C and N inputs, while relatively stable hormone concentrations over the same period provide no evidence of a concomitant increase in physiological ...

The trophic roles of microzooplankton in marine systems [PDF]

open access: yesICES Journal of Marine Science, 2008
Abstract Calbet, A. 2008. The trophic roles of microzooplankton in marine systems. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 325–331. Microzooplankton (here defined as <200 µm grazers) are key components of marine foodwebs. Their grazing significantly affects primary producers and usually exceeds that of mesozooplankton.

Microzooplankton feeding behaviour: grazing on the microbial and the classical food web of African soda lakes [PDF]

open access: yesHydrobiologia, 2012
Nous avons étudié le comportement alimentaire du microzooplancton dominant des lacs salins de la vallée du Rift est-africain. Un ensemble d'expériences de pâturage a révélé des taux d'ingestion élevés des deux rotifères euryhalins Brachionus dimidiatus et Brachionus plicatilis et des ciliés omnivores de grande taille Frontonia sp.

Plankton biodiversity around the Salento Peninsula (South East Italy): an integrated water/sediment approach

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2004
The microplankton community was studied at 9 sites (29 sampling stations) along the Salento Peninsula (SE Italy). Integrated samplings from both the water column (to collect active stages), and sediments (to collect resting stages), were carried out ...

Fear of grazing rivals the toxin‐inducing effects of nutrients in two marine harmful algae – a meta‐analysis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1904-1921, August 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Diversity and community structure of microzooplankton in the eastern Indian Ocean during the inter-monsoon period

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Microzooplankton (MZP) are an important part of the microbial food web and play a pivotal role in connecting the classic food chain with the microbial loop in the marine ecosystem.

Salinity, turbidity, and chlorophyll drive zooplankton succession in a temperate estuary under anthropogenic pressure

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Estuarine zooplankton are vital primary consumers and essential for estuarine ecosystem functioning and productivity, but they face strong physico‐biochemical gradients and often anthropogenically altered habitats that impact their succession.

Tintinnid ciliates (marine microzooplankton) of the Ross Sea

open access: yesPolar Research, 2022
For the Ross Sea, the only Marine Protected Area in Antarctica, available data on the tintinnid ciliates of the marine microzooplankton are mostly limited to nearshore waters near Terra Nova Bay or the vicinity of the McMurdo Sound. Here, we report results from a geographically extensive sampling across the Ross Sea conducted in December 2020. Material

Microzooplankton grazing and phytoplankton growth in marine mesocosms with increased CO2 levels [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2008
Microzooplankton grazing and algae growth responses to increasing pCO2 levels (350, 700 and 1050 μatm) were investigated in nitrate and phosphate fertilized mesocosms during the PeECE III experiment 2005.

Transcriptomic Response to Feeding and Starvation in a Herbivorous Dinoflagellate

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Grazing by heterotrophic protists influences plankton population dynamics, community composition, and the flux of carbon through marine planktonic food webs.
