Plankton are not passive tracers: Plankton in a turbulent environment [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2006 Spectral analysis was performed on a series of oceanographic transects collected using an optical plankton counter and conductivity‐temperature‐depth probe. The “physical” time series (i.e., temperature) power spectra showed a single passive scaling relationship across the entire range of sampling scales (1–8192 s) that was expected from turbulence ...

Genomic evidence for global ocean plankton biogeography shaped by large-scale current systems
bioRxiv, 2019 Biogeographical studies have traditionally focused on readily visible organisms, but recent technological advances are enabling analyses of the large-scale distribution of microscopic organisms, whose biogeographical patterns have long been debated1,2 ...

Deep Learning Classification of Lake Zooplankton
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Plankton are effective indicators of environmental change and ecosystem health in freshwater habitats, but collection of plankton data using manual microscopic methods is extremely labor-intensive and expensive.

The Effects of Alewife on the Zooplankton Community in Townhouse Pond [PDF]
, 2009 The purpose of this study was to determine what plankton species was more dominant in Townhouse Pond and what effects predation has on the food web. Plankton size is important when determining pelagic food web structure.

Community‐Level Responses to Iron Availability in Open Ocean Plankton Ecosystems
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2019 Predicting responses of plankton to variations in essential nutrients is hampered by limited in situ measurements, a poor understanding of community composition, and the lack of reference gene catalogs for key taxa.

Some aspects of the ecology of the limnoplankton, with special reference to the phytoplankton. [Translation from: Svensk Botanisk Tidskrift 13(2) 129-163, 1919.] [PDF]
, 1919 This paper tries to develop more generally some fundamental bases for the ecological study of freshwater plankton. A special attention is given to the phytoplankton associations which can be separated out and made into groups according to their ...
