Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Functional feeding groups (FFGs) are key components sustaining ecosystem functioning in riverine ecosystems. In this study, we conducted an airborne imaging spectroscopy campaign and a systematic environmental DNA (eDNA) river water sampling in a 740‐km2 mountainous catchment, combined with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point clouds, to obtain ...

Feeding Mechanisms in Zooplankton
Who doesn’t remember the famous movie “Fantastic voyage” 1966, starring the iconic Raquel Welch and Stephen Boyd? The plot is about a scientist from the East who falls into a coma because of an attack. The only way to save this character, who keeps tremendously important secrets in his mind, is to miniaturize a submarine to the size of a little more ...

Biochemical fingerprints in zooplankton
Limnetica, 2006 The use of the role of the species in the habitat (the niche), rather than systematics, for studying the factors that determine which and how many species live in a specific habitat (community assembly), is an approach that has been limited by obvious difficulties in the characterization of the niche.

Drivers and food web effects of Gonyostomum semen blooms [PDF]
, 2013 The flagellate Gonyostomum semen forms dense late-summer blooms in humic lakes and is a nuisance to swimmers because it forms a slimy coat on the skin, causing irritation in sensitive individuals. Increasing occurrence and bloom incidence of G. semen has

Coral reef fish visual adaptations to a changing world
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coral reef ecosystems show fluctuations in their prevailing light environment in response to both regular (e.g. between seasons) and more prevalent stochastic events (e.g. human‐induced sediment runoff).

Parameterizing the microbial loop: an experiment in reducing model complexity [PDF]
, 2004 The structure of the plankton food web in the upper mixed layer has important implications for the export of biogenic material from the euphotic zone. While the action of the microbial loop causes material to be recycled near the surface, activity of the

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization is a major threat to biodiversity, ultimately influencing ecosystem functions. Fungi, a highly taxonomically and functionally diverse group of organisms, underpin many of these ecosystem functions from nutrient cycling to symbiotic interactions.

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.
