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 ...

Structural Organization of Zooplankton Communities in Different Types of River Mouth Areas

Diversity, 2023
The gradients of hydrological, hydrophysical, and hydrochemical conditions form the transition zones in river mouth areas. These areas are considered ecotones in the presence of the edge effect.

Trophic strategies of freshwater nanoflagellates under variable run‐off scenarios

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
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 ...

Dynamics of zooplankton diversity in relation to water quality of Heggere tank, Kanale Sagara Karnataka, India

Environment Conservation Journal, 2011
The present study reveals that the diversity of zooplankton communities in Heggere tank, Kanale varies with the physico-chemical parameters of water.  The presence of different zooplankton community indicates the nutrient status of water body.

Tradeoffs between elemental homeostasis and growth govern freshwater phytoplankton responses to salinization

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropogenic salinization resulting from road salt application can degrade aquatic environments by altering the structure and function of phytoplankton communities, ultimately reducing flows of resources through aquatic food webs. However, physiological mechanisms underlying taxon‐specific responses to salinization are often poorly linked to ...

Behind the impact of introduced trout in high altitude lakes: adult, not juvenile fish are responsible of the selective predation on crustacean zooplankton

Journal of Limnology, 2014
Introduced fish seriously affect zooplankton communities in mountain lakes, often leading to the loss of large species. Selective predation is recognized to be the ultimate cause of such a strong impact. Here we describe the selection of zooplankton prey

Zooplankton body composition [PDF]

Limnology and Oceanography, 2013
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).

Daphnia‐associated bacterial communities correlate with diet quantity, environmental conditions, and epidemic size across natural outbreaks

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Zooplankton‐associated microbiomes play an important role for host health, and contribute to ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling. Yet, few studies have assessed how environmental gradients and biotic interactions, including parasitism and diet, may shape the microbiome composition of wild zooplankton. Here, we analyzed the microbiomes

Disentangling the effects of climate change in a mountain lake through community structure analysis

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Pressures of climate change may trigger regime shifts in ecosystems. Identifying signs of these pressures before the critical transition remains challenging, and it could be useful to anticipate the regime shift. In this research, while exploiting the case of a lacustrine ecosystem, which passed from an unvegetated, phytoplankton‐dominated ...

Zooplankton communities in the Krenceng Reservoair, Cilegon, Banten

Makara Seri Sains, 2005
This research was carried out to know the structure of zooplankton communities and relations between the phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Krenceng Reservoair, Cilegon. The zooplankton abundance with used Sedwigck Rafter Counting Method, diversity and
