Zooplankton response to organic carbon level in lakes of differing trophic states

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014
Water eutrophication is associated with an increase in the organic carbon content (both particulate and dissolved forms), which may affect the functioning of the zooplankton community.

Effects of salinization on tropical freshwater wetland primary producers and aquatic invertebrates

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Sea level rise is expected to transform coastal aquatic ecosystems world‐wide. The freshwater wetlands of tropical northern Australia are among the most biodiverse and productive ecosystems on the continent, but owing to high regional rates of sea level rise coupled with low‐lying land and large tides they are increasingly affected by saltwater ...

Resource quantity affects infection success and impacts of a microsporidian on hosts

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Resource quantity in the environment often changes over time and influences the nutritional status of hosts that may encounter parasites. If resource availability significantly alters both infection success and within‐host growth of a parasite, fluctuations in resources may underlie the seasonal disease outbreaks that have been observed for some ...

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Variation pattern of crustacean zooplankton in a bigheaded carps-dominated reservoir

open access: yesAquaculture and Fisheries
The relationship between crustacean zooplankton and (planktivorous) fish has not been well clarified in bigheaded-carps-dominated reservoirs, for most of the past studies to explore that kind of knowledge above are often obtained from the studies in ...

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

open access: yesEnvironment 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.

Seasonal variations in planktonic food web structure affect stability by shifting the distribution of energy fluxes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.

The planktonic food web in the Gulf of Naples based on the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...
