Planktonic larval stages—an adaptation to lower predation rates in the pelagic environment?

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract A majority of marine benthic macroinvertebrate and fish species have planktonic larval stages that disperse in the water column from days to months. However, the adaptive significance of pelagic larvae, and whether predation is higher in the pelagic or the benthic environment, is still debated, partly due to a lack of studies assessing larval ...

Long‐term changes in intra‐ and interspecific trait variability of a small herbivore in a deep perialpine lake

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyses of trait dynamics provide new insights into the dynamics of communities and ecosystems. While zooplankton traits—and especially the defensive traits—of zooplankton are well studied in the laboratory, there are hardly any studies analyzing long‐term dynamics of zooplankton traits.

Temperature and light drive physiological and transcriptional responses, modulating infection outcomes in a freshwater diatom–chytrid system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Stephanodiscus binderanus is a bloom‐forming diatom abundant in winter and persisting into spring in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Climate change impacts these blooms by altering ice cover, turbidity, light penetration, and water temperature.

Integrating phytoplankton phenology, traits, and model‐data fusion to advance bloom prediction

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract While there is a diversity of approaches for modeling phytoplankton blooms, their accuracy in predicting the onset and manifestation of a bloom is still lagging behind what is needed to support effective management. We outline a framework that integrates trait theory and ecosystem modeling to improve bloom prediction.
