Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

A seasonal diary of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic [PDF]

, 2014
In recent years new biological and physical controls have been suggested to drive phytoplankton bloom dynamics in the North Atlantic. A better understanding of the mechanisms driving primary production has potentially important implications for the ...

Viruses may facilitate the cyanobacterial blooming during summer bloom succession in Xiangxi Bay of Three Gorges Reservoir, China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms in summer are frequently accompanied by the succession of phytoplankton communities in freshwater. However, little is known regarding the roles of viruses in the succession, such as in huge reservoirs.

The planktonic food web in the Gulf of Naples based on the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

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 ...

Determining the probability of cyanobacterial blooms: the application of Bayesian networks in multiple lake systems [PDF]

, 2015
A Bayesian network model was developed to assess the combined influence of nutrient conditions and climate on the occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms within lakes of diverse hydrology and nutrient supply.

Twenty-One Years of Phytoplankton Bloom Phenology in the Barents, Norwegian, and North Seas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Phytoplankton blooms provide biomass to the marine trophic web, contribute to the carbon removal from the atmosphere and can be deadly when associated with harmful species. This points to the need to understand the phenology of the blooms in the Barents,

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

, 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 ...

A turbulent diatom vs dinoflagellate phytoplankton biomass model [PDF]

, 2013
Phytoplankton blooms play an important role in global primary productivity and the dynamics of blooms are of interest to modellers. Diatom dominated phytoplankton blooms followed by dinoflagellate blooms are common in the Southern Benguela, and are often

Cyanobacteria blooms cannot be controlled by effective microorganisms (EM) from mud- or Bokashi-balls [PDF]

, 2010
In controlled experiments, the ability of ‘‘Effective Microorganisms (EM, in the form of mudballs or Bokashi-balls)’’ was tested for clearing waters from cyanobacteria.
