Inundation of different river bank heights influences organic matter concentrations and zooplankton abundance

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Regulation and water extraction change flow regimes in lowland rivers, affecting ecosystem functions and wetting patterns of riverbanks. River connectivity to lateral environments is crucial for organic matter cycling and the life cycles of diapausing microinvertebrates. While extreme hydraulic periods (floods and cease‐flow) are well‐studied,

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

Knowledge 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.

The essential role of large research vessels in marine ecosystem observations and ocean sustainability

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Our understanding of marine ecosystems and ability to manage them sustainably has come from multidisciplinary observations made repeatedly over long periods of time. These long‐term ecosystem observations depend on the capabilities of large research vessels, which play an essential role in the collection of global ocean observations.

Bacteria dispersal by hitchhiking on zooplankton [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
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.

Coral calcification mechanisms across a natural environmental mosaic in Hawai'i

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral calcification is key to coral reef growth and function but may be compromised under increasing global and local stressors. Corals modify the carbonate chemistry of their calcifying fluid to facilitate calcification, but little is known about how these mechanisms vary across the substantial differences in reef seawater conditions that can

Seasonally migrating zooplankton strongly enhance Southern Ocean carbon sequestration

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐latitude zooplankton can sequester millions of tons of carbon due to their seasonal migration from the surface ocean to depth, and their respiration and mortality during overwintering. This seasonal vertical migration pump (SVMP) efficiently removes carbon but not limiting nutrients such as iron from the surface layers.

Variations in the structural and functional diversity of zooplankton over vertical and horizontal environmental gradients en route to the Arctic Ocean through the Fram Strait.

PLoS ONE, 2017
A multi-scale approach was used to evaluate which spatial gradient of environmental variability is the most important in structuring zooplankton diversity in the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC).

Extreme temperature events directly and indirectly mediate evolutionary adaptation of zooplankton metabolic rate

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Under global warming, understanding the evolutionary adaptation of ectotherms resting metabolic rate (RMR) is critical for predicting long‐term populations' response to temperature increases. While several studies have evaluated metabolic rate evolution under different thermal context, most focused on space‐for‐time substitutions rather than ...

Blooms of filamentous cyanobacteria reduce zooplankton quality and pelagic food web efficiency

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial blooms in marine and freshwater ecosystems have increased in magnitude, frequency, and distribution worldwide during recent decades. Filamentous cyanobacteria are of unsuitable size for mesozooplankton feeding and of poorer nutritional quality than other phytoplankton taxa. The production and quality of higher trophic levels are
