Plankton lattices and the role of chaos in plankton patchiness [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2004
Spatiotemporal and interspecies irregularities in planktonic populations have been widely observed. Much research into the drivers of such plankton patches has been initiated over the past few decades but only recently have the dynamics of the ...

Meta-analysis cum machine learning approaches address the structure and biogeochemical potential of marine copepod associated bacteriobiomes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Copepods are the dominant members of the zooplankton community and the most abundant form of life. It is imperative to obtain insights into the copepod-associated bacteriobiomes (CAB) in order to identify specific bacterial taxa associated within a ...

The impacts of past, present and future ocean chemistry on predatory planktonic snails

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2021
The atlantid heteropods represent the only predatory, aragonite shelled zooplankton. Atlantid shell production is likely to be sensitive to ocean acidification (OA), and yet we know little about their mechanisms of calcification, or their response to ...

Fossil-calibrated molecular phylogeny of atlantid heteropods (Gastropoda, Pterotracheoidea)

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background The aragonite shelled, planktonic gastropod family Atlantidae (shelled heteropods) is likely to be one of the first groups to be impacted by imminent ocean changes, including ocean warming and ocean acidification. With a fossil record spanning

Salinity Tolerance and the Effect of Salinity and Algal Feed on the Demographics of Cultured Harpacticoid Copepods Tisbe holothuriae and Tigriopus sp. from the Messolonghi Lagoon (W. Greece)

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The locally isolated harpacticoid copepods Tigriopus sp. and Tisbe holothuriae were subjected to salinity tolerance experimentation at salinities under and above of 40 ppt, and presented high halotolerances in Tigriopus LC50 (24 h) of 1 ± 4.43 ppt and ...

Zooplankton communities in the Drake Passage through environmental boundaries: a snapshot of 2010, early spring [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Background Spatial distribution of zooplankton communities influenced by various environmental factors is always important for understanding pelagic ecosystems.

Transcriptomic Responses of Adult Versus Juvenile Atlantids to Ocean Acidification

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Shelled holoplanktonic gastropods are among the most vulnerable calcifiers to ocean acidification. They inhabit the pelagic environment and build thin and transparent shells of aragonite, a metastable form of calcium carbonate.

The Effect of Colored and White Light on Growth and Phycobiliproteins, Chlorophyll and Carotenoids Content of the Marine Cyanobacteria Phormidium sp. and Cyanothece sp. in Batch Cultures

open access: yesLife, 2022
Two local marine cyanobacteria, Phormidium sp. and Cyanothece sp., were batch-cultured under 18–19.5 °C, at 40 ppt salinity, using white LED light of low (40 μmol photons/m2/s) and high (160 μmol/m2/s) intensity and, additionally, blue, green and red LED

Opening Pandora’s Box: Neglected Biochemical Potential of Permafrost-Associated Fungal Communities in a Warming Climate

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
Permafrost, a vast storage reservoir of frozen organic matter, is rapidly thawing due to climate change, releasing previously preserved carbon into the environment.

The Peril of the Plankton [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative and Comparative Biology, 2010
The pelagic environment is characterized by unevenly distributed resources and risks. Such unpredictability presents adaptive challenges to diverse planktonic organisms including the larvae of benthic marine invertebrates. Estimates of mortality during planktonic development are highly variable, ranging from 0% to 100% per day.
