Warming enhances protozooplankton top‐down control and nutrient competition
Abstract Protozooplankton regulate microbial food webs through top‐down control and nutrient cycling, yet their grazing impacts under ocean warming, particularly in subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM) layers, remain poorly understood. This study investigated spatial and seasonal variability in protozooplankton grazing in the northern East China Sea ...

The ubiquitous occurrence of microplastics and nanoplastics in aquatic environments is of major concern as these priority pollutants are readily ingested by a wide variety of aquatic organisms.

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are often characterised by nitrogen-to-phosphorus (N:P) ratios far lower than the canonical Redfield ratio. Whereas the importance of variable stoichiometry in phytoplankton has long been recognised, variations in zooplankton ...

Abstract Shelf seas are important for the economy and the carbon cycle, but shelf sea observations for carbon pools are often sparse or highly uncertain. An alternative can be provided by carbon reanalyses (whether assimilating proxy variables, such as chlorophyll‐a $a$, or directly carbon), but these are often expensive to run.

Dilution effects on microzooplankton in dilution grazing experiments [PDF]
In dilution experiments, filtered seawater is used to create a gradient of grazing pressure on phytoplankton. Microzooplankton grazing is estimated by examining phytoplankton growth within the gradient. However, the dilution series also represents a resource gradient for microzooplankton. Here we report the effects of dilution on grazers. In 2 standard

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Parasites can alter host traits, thereby reshaping host interactions and modifying density‐ and trait‐mediated effects in trophic cascades. But despite increasing research in parasite ecology, the cascading effects of parasitism from individual hosts to population and ...

Ocean acidification (OA) is affecting marine ecosystems through changes in carbonate chemistry that may influence consumers of phytoplankton, often via trophic pathways.

Abstract Biogeochemical models used to estimate carbon export fluxes are highly sensitive to their parameterization of zooplankton grazing dynamics. Zooplankton grazing dynamics have been shown to vary spatially, however it is less clear how they are responding to underlying environmental drivers.
