Effect of large- and small- bodied zooplankton on phytoplankton in a eutrophic oxbow

open access: yes, 2005
Macrozooplankton and microzooplankton effects on the phytoplankton were measured in situ in a eutrophic lake. Indigenous phytoplankton were incubated for 5 days in 301 mesocosms with either the macro- and microzooplankton (complete), microzooplankton ...

Trophic upgrading and mobilization of wax esters in microzooplankton

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Heterotrophic protists play pivotal roles in aquatic ecosystems by transferring matter and energy, including lipids, from primary producers to higher trophic predators. Using Oxyrrhis marina as a model organism, changes to the non-saponifiable protist lipids were investigated under satiation and starvation conditions.

Insights into the effects of environmental factors on phytoplankton and microzooplankton at a basin scale: diversity, assembly mechanisms, and co-occurrence networks

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Mastering the characteristics of planktonic microbial communities under the influence of basin-scale environmental factors can provide scientific basis to develop more targeted protection and restoration measures. Here, an environmental DNA metabarcoding

Contrasting Controls on Microzooplankton Grazing and Viral Infection of Microbial Prey

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The encounter and capture of bacteria and phytoplankton by microbial predators and parasites is fundamental to marine ecosystem organization and activity.

Influence of the Calcium Carbonate Shell of Coccolithophores on Ingestion and Growth of a Dinoflagellate Predator

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coccolithophores are an important group of ∼200 marine phytoplankton species which cover themselves with a calcium carbonate shell called “coccosphere.” Coccolithophores are ecologically and biogeochemically important but the reason why they calcify ...

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 ...

The Plasticity of the Antioxidant Defence System of Coastal Zooplankton Communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
In 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 ...

Copepod community structure and physiological rates shape the biological pump during early North Atlantic spring bloom

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Zooplankton plays an important role in the biological carbon pump, and zooplankton biomass and community structure can have a large influence on the sedimentation/remineralization balance of the water column. We investigated the potential effects of zooplankton community structure and eco‐physiology on the export and attenuation of vertical ...
