Grazing Induced Shifts in Phytoplankton Cell Size Explain the Community Response to Nutrient Supply
Phytoplankton cell size is important for a multitude of functional traits such as growth rates, storage capabilities, and resistance to grazing.

The Community Concept and the Phytoplankton
The community concept of terrestrial ecology is examined with particular reference to its application to phytoplankton dlstrlbutlon. I t IS suggested that it is more appropriate to regard phytoplankton distribution as entirely probabilistlc, comparable to a local situation in a tropical rain forest.

This article discusses the recent ecological status of Lake Drūksiai, the former cooler of the INPP, based on phytoplankton assessment in 2011. The data of integrated long-term investigation of phytoplankton over a period of 31 years from the construction of the INPP till decommissioning are also provided. The operation of the INPP obviously influenced

Geospatial Variations in Phytoplankton Communities
Chlorophyll a (Chl a) and phaeopigments a (Phaeo a) spatial distribution in the Western Black Sea was studied in relation to environmental factors and mesozooplankton community. For that purpose, CTD parameters, nutrients, chlorophyll pigments, and mesozooplankton total density and biomass were measured at 33 stations, distributed along the Romanian ...

Diel vertical migration (DVM) is a common behavior of many pelagic herbivorous zooplankton species in response to predation pressure. It is characterized by a twice daily habitat shift of the zooplankton species: staying in the epilimnion only during ...

How does aquaculture activity affect phytoplankton functional groups in Gaoyou Lake, China
Aquaculture in lakes is an important human activity that could accelerate eutrophication. Its impacts on aquatic ecosystems have attracted extensive attention. This study was carried out in Gaoyou Lake, China.
