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

open access: yesMarine 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 ...

Phytoplankton community of fouling on artificial structures in Makchachkala seaport conditions

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2015
The contents structure and dynamics of phytoplankton community formation of fouling on artificial structures in the Dagestan coastal area of the Caspian sea are researched. The most intensive process of phytoplankton community formation has been noted in

The underlying causes and effects of phytoplankton seasonal turnover on resource use efficiency in freshwater lakes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The extent of intra‐annual turnover in phytoplankton communities is directly associated with the overall diversity. However, our understanding of the underlying causes and effects of intra‐annual turnover remains limited.

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 ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

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

open access: yesMarine 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 ...

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Role of hydraulic residence time in shaping phytoplankton community assembly in the upper yellow river cascade reservoirs

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Introduction: Cascade hydropower development significantly alters the structure and function of river ecosystems. Phytoplankton, as primary producers, are highly sensitive to environmental changes, and their diversity and community structure reflect the ...
