An NPZ Model with State-Dependent Delay due to Size-Structure in Juvenile Zooplankton [PDF]

, 2015
The study of planktonic ecosystems is important as they make up the bottom trophic levels of aquatic food webs. We study a closed Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton (NPZ) model that includes size structure in the juvenile zooplankton.

The Employment of Hydrogen Peroxide in Water Disinfection Poses a Threat to Aquatic Ecosystems Because of Its Toxicity to Nontarget Organisms

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in water and wastewater treatment, particularly in advanced oxidation processes that aid in the degradation of compounds and microbial disinfection. Despite concerns about potential environmental contamination, its impact on freshwater ecosystems remains inadequately studied.

Spatiotemporal dynamics in a spatial plankton system

, 2010
In this paper, we investigate the complex dynamics of a spatial plankton-fish system with Holling type III functional responses. We have carried out the analytical study for both one and two dimensional system in details and found out a condition for ...

Seasonal Variation in Transport of Zooplankton Into the Arctic Basin Through the Atlantic Gateway, Fram Strait

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
The largest contribution of oceanic heat to the Arctic Ocean is the warm Atlantic Water (AW) inflow through the deep Fram Strait. The AW current also carries Atlantic plankton into the Arctic Basin and this inflow of zooplankton biomass through the ...

Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Can manipulative parasites modify host‐mediated trophic effects? Experimental evidence from Schistocephalus solidus and three‐spined sticklebacks

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Parasites can alter host traits, thereby reshaping host interactions and modifying density‐ and trait‐mediated effects in trophic cascades. But despite increasing research in parasite ecology, the cascading effects of parasitism from individual hosts to population and ...

Effects of climate on size structure and functioning of aquatic food webs [PDF]

, 2010
In aquatic food webs, the role of body size is notoriously strong. It is also well known that temperature has an effect on body size. For instance, Bergmann’s rule states that body size increases from warm to cold climates.

Allochthonous chemical cues drive predation by a top carnivore

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Identifying the mechanisms by which mobile predators detect and select prey remains a central challenge in sensory biology and functional ecology. This study provides the first direct evidence that chemical cues associated with allochthonous organic matter (e.g.
