Harmonizing marine zooplankton trait data toward a mechanistic understanding of ecosystem functioning

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Compiling trait information promotes discovery and innovation in using trait‐based approaches in ecology. Various zooplankton trait datasets are stored in unlinked data repositories, in diverse data structures, and have varying levels of complexity.

Questioning the rise of gelatinous zooplankton in the World's oceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
During the past several decades, high numbers of gelatinous zooplankton species have been reported in many estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Coupled with media-driven public perception, a paradigm has evolved in which the global ocean ecosystems are ...

The consumption of zooplankton by early life stages of fish in the North Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Previous work has shown that during the 1970s, fish and carnivorous macrozooplankton together consumed ~22 gC m-2 year-1 of mesozooplankton, principally copepods.

Population Differentiation In Daphnia Alters Community Assembly In Experimental Ponds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Most studies of community assembly ignore how genetic differentiation within species affects their colonization and extinction. However, genetic differentiation in ecologically relevant traits may be substantial enough to alter the colonization and ...

Combined stable isotope and gut contents analysis of food webs in plant-dominated, shallow lakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
1. To determine feeding links between primary producers, invertebrates and fish, stable isotope analyses and gut content analyses of fish were conducted on the components of four shallow, eutrophic to hypertrophic, plant-dominated lakes. 2.

Omnivory by planktivores stabilizes plankton dynamics, but may either promote or reduce algal biomass [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Classical models of phytoplankton–zooplankton interaction show that with nutrient enrichment such systems may abruptly shift from limit cycles to stable phytoplankton domination due to zooplankton predation by planktivorous fish.

Moonlight drives ocean-scale mass vertical migration of zooplankton during the Arctic winter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The creation of the pan-Arctic archive of ADCP data was supported by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) (Panarchive: NE/H012524/1 and SOFI: NE/F012381/1) as was mooring work in Svalbard (Oceans 2025 and Northern Sea Program).

Temporal evolution of plankton and particles distribution across a mesoscale front during the spring bloom

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract The effect of mesoscale features on the distribution of planktonic organisms are well documented. Yet, the interaction between these spatial features and the temporal scale, which can result in sudden increases of the planktonic biomass, is less known and not described at high resolution.

Migration of Net Phytoplankton and Zooplankton in Mendum’s Pond, New Hampshire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The study examines the vertical distribution and migratory behavior of net phytoplankton and zooplankton of Mendum’s Pond in Barrington, N.H. The cyanobacteria, Microcystis and Aphanocapsa were the dominant net phytoplankton in this lake.
