The Zooplankton of Msikaba Estuary [PDF]

open access: yesZoologica Africana, 1976
Stratification is well developed in Msikaba estuary and has a major influence on the distribution of the zooplankton. The oligohaline zooplankton component does not become well established, while marine zooplankton organisms penetrate relatively far up the estuary in the high salinity bottom waters.

Zooplankton ecology

open access: yes, 2020
This book aims at providing students and researchers an advanced integrative overview on zooplankton ecology, covering marine and freshwater organisms, from microscopic phagotrophic protists, to macro-jellyfishes and active fish larvae.

Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Ocean acidification, more than warming or heatwaves, constrains shoaling behaviour in a range‐extending fish through habitat simplification

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that ocean acidification, more than warming or marine heatwaves, alters shoaling behaviour indirectly by simplifying reef habitat and reducing population densities and shoal sizes. Because fish behaviour can be strongly mediated by shoal size, climate‐driven habitat change may reshape social dynamics that influence how range‐extending fishes ...

Variations in the structural and functional diversity of zooplankton over vertical and horizontal environmental gradients en route to the Arctic Ocean through the Fram Strait.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
A multi-scale approach was used to evaluate which spatial gradient of environmental variability is the most important in structuring zooplankton diversity in the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC).

Zooplankton of the Zámecký rybník pond

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2008
Qualitative and quantitative composition of zooplankton was studied on the Zámecký rybník pond. Altogether 73 taxa of zooplankton were determined. The values od zooplankton density ranged between 23–2594 ind.m−2.

Changes in abundance and diversity of zooplankton communities in the Nagy-Morotva oxbow lake

open access: yes, 2019
Oxbow lakes are small and shallow water bodies and usually limited into a littoral zone due to favorable light conditions.The aim of this study was to investigate the zooplankton community in the Nagy-morotva oxbow lake.

Caught in broad daylight: Topographic constraints of zooplankton depth distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
For visual predators, sufficient light is critical for prey detection and capture. Because light decays exponentially with depth in aquatic systems, vertical movement has become a widespread strategy among zooplankton for avoiding visual predation ...

Snowmelt predicts earlier breeding across the latitudinal range of an Arctic nesting seabird, the Little Auk (Alle alle)

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Multi‐year monitoring of the crevice‐nesting High Arctic seabird, the Little Auk (Alle alle), across four colonies spanning distinct climatic regimes revealed that snowmelt timing is a key and consistent driver of breeding phenology. Earlier snowmelt advances access to nesting habitat, enabling birds to initiate reproduction sooner. These findings show
