The influence of viral infection on a plankton ecosystem undergoing nutrient enrichment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
It is increasingly recognised that viruses are a significant active component of oceanic plankton ecosystems. They play an important role in biogeochemical cycles as well as being implicated in observed patterns of species abundance and diversity.

The Plankton Lifeform Extraction Tool: a digital tool to increase the discoverability and usability of plankton time-series data [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Science Data, 2021
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 ...

Homemade Plankton Net [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
As you may already know, plankton are quite diluted in seawater, especially the larger ones (zooplankton). As I mentioned in the post “Sampling plankton,” we use plankton nets of varying complexity to catch these creatures.

Response of the Ciliates Fabrea salina and Condylostoma sp. to Different Salinities and Microalgal Feeds

open access: yesEcologies, 2022
In the quest of finding local strains of marine ciliates that can be easily cultured under a broad range of salinity and fed with microalgae, Fabrea salina Henneguy, 1890 and Condylostoma sp. Bory de St.

The Effect of Various Salinities and Light Intensities on the Growth Performance of Five Locally Isolated Microalgae [Amphidinium carterae, Nephroselmis sp., Tetraselmis sp. (var. red pappas), Asteromonas gracilis and Dunaliella sp.] in Laboratory Batch Cultures

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
After a 1.5-year screening survey in the lagoons of Western Greece in order to isolate and culture sturdy species of microalgae for aquaculture or other value-added uses, as dictated primarily by satisfactory potential for their mass culture, five ...

Plankton and art [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Those who have seen a plankton sample cannot deny its inherent beauty. From the perfect symmetry of diatoms to the complexity of some radiolarians, we can find an infinite range of shapes and colors that have been a source of inspiration for many artists,

Impacts of Microplastics on the Swimming Behavior of the Copepod Temora turbinata (Dana, 1849)

open access: yesFluids, 2020
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.

PlanktoScope: Affordable Modular Quantitative Imaging Platform for Citizen Oceanography

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
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 ...
