Zooplankton diel vertical migration enhances carbon export via distinct mechanisms in a warming North Pacific

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM) is a crucial marine organism behavior modulating particulate organic carbon (POC) export, yet its dynamic role under climate change remains uncertain. Using a coupled physical–biogeochemical model, we assessed how DVM affects carbon export under future scenarios at two contrasting North Pacific sites ...

Coupling the PLANKTOM5.0 marine ecosystem model to the OCCAM 1º ocean general circulation model for investigation of the sensitivity of global biogeochemical cycles to variations in ecosystem complexity and physical environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The earliest marine ecosystem models consisted of a simple representation of the main features of marine ecosystems, including, typically, variables for phytoplankton, zooplankton, nutrient and detritus (NPZD models).

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.

Comparison between fluorometry and microscopy‐based phytoplankton assessments in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is commonly used in limnology and oceanography as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Fluorometry has been used to detect subsurface algal blooms, characterize dynamics of the deep chlorophyll layer, and to provide greater vertical resolution to phytoplankton monitoring.

Compound‐Specific Stable Isotope Analysis Reveals Population‐Specific Differences in Chinook Salmon Trophic Level and Basal Resource Use in the Northeast Pacific

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 397-412, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Chinook salmon exhibit far‐flung and disparate population‐specific marine migrations that have made it difficult to assess their trophic ecology. In this study, we collected returning and resident subadult Fraser River Chinook salmon in 2018 and 2019 from population groups with different known run‐timings (spring, summer, and fall) and marine ...

Physical and Ecological Forcings Drive the Particle Dynamics and Enhanced Carbon Export Efficiency in the Tropical Marginal Sea

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Marginal seas contribute disproportionately to the ocean carbon cycle but remain poorly constrained due to strong spatial and seasonal variability. Here, we combine newly collected in situ particle imagery with machine learning to reconstruct monthly, depth‐resolved climatologies of particle biovolume and size distribution in the South China ...

Transcriptomic Response to Feeding and Starvation in a Herbivorous Dinoflagellate

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019

Modulation of Cilia Beat Kinematics Is a Key Determinant of Encounter Rate and Selectivity in Tintinnid Ciliates

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Tintinnids are a group of ciliated microzooplankton, who spontaneously settle on marine snow and other aggregates. Tintinnids create a feeding current that draws particles towards their mouth using a crown of continuously beating oral cilia. Similarly to

Long‐term monitoring reveals biomass loss and concurrent dominance changes in coastal zooplankton community

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Anthropogenically induced changes in environmental conditions have been affecting species communities globally, leading to shifts in ecosystem functioning. Physical drivers like temperature, salinity and acidification are especially important in coastal ecosystems, and high‐resolution time‐series are essential to identify how these variables affect ...
