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

Aquaculture 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 ...

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...

The relative importance of regional and local factors in shaping zooplankton diversity in high-altitude tropical shallow lakes

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2020
In Brazil, although, high-altitude shallow lakes comprise large parts of conservation units and are considered highly important environments for biodiversity studies, little is known about the factors that regulate the zooplankton community.

Spatial distribution of meso- and macro-zooplankton in the Bransfield Strait and around Elephant Island, Antarctic Peninsula, during the 2019–2020 austral summer

, 2022
The Antarctic Peninsula is a region of the world where drastic impacts of climate change have been observed over the past few years, leading the communities inhabiting this area to adapt to new conditions.

DeepZoo: A cost‐effective and modular sampler for ecological studies in the deep ocean

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the structure and dynamics of deep‐ocean communities requires effective sampling of pelagic organisms in near‐bottom waters. These dispersive organisms contribute to biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem recovery. Yet, current sampling methods remain constrained by size, cost, and depth, leaving key questions unanswered in ...

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

Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

What Drives the Changing Characteristics of Plankton in Floodplain Lakes: Season, Environmental Factors, or Lake Characteristics? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we conducted investigations and monitoring on lakes during the wet season and dry season. We studied the structure, taxonomic/functional diversity, community assembly, and niche differentiation of plankton communities, analyzed the biogeographical patterns of plankton communities, and explored the driving factors affecting plankton ...

Capture Probability and Effects of Bait Type on Learning Behavior in an Unexploited Population of Northern Pike (Esox lucius)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in angling response were studied over a period of three years in a natural, previously unfished population of northern pike. Standardized angling sessions took place during two weeks in spring and autumn with three bait types: bright‐ and natural‐colored soft plastic baits and a dead baitfish.
