PlanktoScope: Affordable Modular Quantitative Imaging Platform for Citizen Oceanography
The oceans represent 97% of all water on Earth and contain microscopic, drifting life, plankton, which drives global biogeochemical cycles. A major hurdle in assessing marine plankton is the planetary scale of the oceans and the logistical and economic ...

The Plankton Lifeform Extraction Tool: a digital tool to increase the discoverability and usability of plankton time-series data [PDF]
Plankton form the base of the marine food web and are sensitive indicators of environmental change. Plankton time series are therefore an essential part of monitoring progress towards global biodiversity goals, such as the Convention on Biological ...

Fungal parasitism on diatoms alters formation and bio–physical properties of sinking aggregates
Fungal parasites are found to effectively control the fate of phytoplankton-derived organic matter, potentially enhancing remineralization and reducing sedimentation in freshwater and coastal systems.

Impacts of Microplastics on the Swimming Behavior of the Copepod Temora turbinata (Dana, 1849)
Zooplankton are prone to the ingestion of microplastics by mistaking them for prey. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the impacts of microplastic availability on zooplankton behavior.

Plankton blooms in vortices: The role of biological and hydrodynamic time scales [PDF]
We study the interplay of hydrodynamic mesoscale structures and the growth of plankton in the wake of an island, and its interaction with a coastal upwelling. Our focus is on a mechanism for the emergence of localized plankton blooms in vortices. Using a

Predicting plankton net community production in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
We present, test and implement two contrasting models to predict euphotic zone net community production (NCP), which are based on 14C primary production (PO14CP) to NCP relationships over two latitudinal (ca.

Biological activity in the wake of an island close to a coastal upwelling [PDF]
Hydrodynamic forcing plays an important role in shaping the dynamics of marine organisms, in particular of plankton. In this work we study the planktonic biological activity in the wake of an island which is close to an upwelling region.
