Abstract In the context of global change, marine organisms are subjected not only to gradual changes in abiotic parameters, but also to an increasing number of extreme events, such as heatwaves. However, we still know little about the influence of heatwaves on the structure of marine communities, and experimental studies are needed to test the impact ...

Seasonality modulates coral trophic plasticity in an extreme, multi‐stressor environment
Abstract Corals with high trophic plasticity, i.e., the ability to change the relative contribution of heterotrophic and autotrophic nutrition to their mixotrophic diet, can have increased tolerance to individual stressors, but it is poorly understood how trophic strategies shift in response to combined global (e.g., warming, acidification) and local ...

Climate change may have minor impact on zooplankton functional diversity in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Aim To assess the impact of climate change on the functional diversity of marine zooplankton communities. Location The Mediterranean Sea. Methods We used the functional traits and geographic distributions of 106 copepod species to estimate the ...

Abstract Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) of the family Chromatiaceae (Gammaproteobacteria) can perform chemo‐ and photo‐lithoautotrophy (through anoxygenic photosynthesis) in anoxic layers of freshwater stratified (including meromictic) lakes. This group has been extensively studied via physiological and ecological approaches, albeit their genomics has ...

Zooplankton body composition [PDF]
I compiled literature on zooplankton body composition, from protozoans to gelatinous plankton, and report allometric relations and average body composition. Zooplankton segregate into gelatinous and non‐gelatinous forms, with few intermediate taxa (chaetognaths, polychaetes, and pteropods).

Bacteria dispersal by hitchhiking on zooplankton [PDF]
Microorganisms and zooplankton are both important components of aquatic food webs. Although both inhabit the same environment, they are often regarded as separate functional units that are indirectly connected through nutrient cycling and trophic cascade.

An assessment of water quality in integrated poultry-cum-fish reservoir, NIFFR New-Bussa in reference to maximizing the water resources potentials of Nigeria for sustainable aquaculture under the sub-theme "Fish production and the environment" [PDF]
In this reservoir, the parameters being assessed are very important in the aspect of fish culture. These parameters are: physical parameters which includes temperature (O), Transparency (M).Chemical parameters include: Dissolve oxygen (mg/l) pH ...

Synchronous dynamics of zooplankton competitors prevail in temperate lake ecosystems [PDF]
Although competing species are expected to exhibit compensatory dynamics (negative temporal covariation), empirical work has demonstrated that competitive communities often exhibit synchronous dynamics (positive temporal covariation). This has led to the

Trophic strategies of freshwater nanoflagellates under variable run‐off scenarios
Abstract Terrestrial run‐off is increasing in temperate lakes due to climate change and can lead to loading of colored dissolved organic matter (cDOM) and nutrients, thus reducing light availability and increasing carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Run‐off events are highly irregular, resulting in temporal resource variability that may determine the ...

Zooplankton - fish interaction in the littoral zone of Nyanza Gulf, Lake Victoria [PDF]
The zooplankton community of the littoral zone of Nyanza Gulf, Lake Victoria, was studied between June 1998 and June 1999 to identify and quantify various zooplankton groups, and investigate the interactions that occur between them and the littoral fish ...
