Trace Elements and Temperature Combined to Regulate Zooplankton Community Structures in Mountain Streams

Biology
Zooplankton, as an important component of mountain river ecosystems, play a crucial role in the cycling of matter and the flow of energy. However, the depth and systematic research on the formation mechanisms and influencing factors of zooplankton ...

Zooplankton as a potential vector for white band disease transmission in the endangered coral, Acropora cervicornis [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Coral diseases are a leading factor contributing to the global decline of coral reefs, and yet mechanisms of disease transmission remain poorly understood. This study tested whether zooplankton can act as a vector for white band disease (WBD) in Acropora

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Short-term fish predation destroys resilience of zooplankton communities and prevents recovery of phytoplankton control by zooplankton grazing.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Planktivorous fish predation directly affects zooplankton biomass, community and size structure, and may indirectly induce a trophic cascade to phytoplankton.

Dynamics of zooplankton production parameters in the north-western Bering Sea in the present period

Известия ТИНРО, 2016
On the basis of plankton surveys, conducted in the north-western Bering Sea in 2010-2015, the production characteristics of zooplankton were calculated and analyzed.

A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring

Ecography, EarlyView.
The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Zooplankton Biomass in Ponds - Determination of Biovolume and Dry Weight

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2023
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using simple screening methods to determine zooplankton biomass in ponds. Among the applicable methods, we selected sedimentation determination of wet biomass and dry biomass determination.

The nutritional status of zooplankton in a tropical reservoir: effects of food quality and community structure

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The temporal variability of energetic reserves of zooplankton in the eutrophic Pampulha reservoir was investigated during two successive annual cycles. The effects of dominance of large filter-feeding cladocerans (Daphnia) and the occurrence of massive ...

Crustacean zooplankton dynamics in a natural riverine lake, Upper Mississippi River

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017
Zooplankton communities in riverine systems are typically thought to be driven by abiotic forces. However, recent studies have shown that biological controls are capable of structuring these communities in large rivers and may become more influential as ...
