Age‐based δ15N and δ13C values of otolith organic matter reveal trophic ecology in marine fishes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish inhabiting similar environments face space and resource constraints, develop diverse feeding strategies, and adjust their trophic niches during ontogeny to reduce competition. To investigate this process, we reconstructed the trophic trajectory of five species of the family Sciaenidae by analyzing δ13C and δ15N values in otolith organic ...

An ecological framework for microbial metabolites in the ocean ecosystem

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract The ocean microbe‐metabolite network involves thousands of individual metabolites that encompass a breadth of chemical diversity and biological functions. These microbial metabolites mediate biogeochemical cycles, facilitate ecological relationships, and impact ecosystem health. While analytical advancements have begun to illuminate such roles,

Effect of suspended solids on interaction between filter-feeding fish Aristichthys nobilis and zooplankton in a shallow lake using a mesocosm experiment

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017
Suspended solids (SS) resulting from sediment resuspension (SR) can impact ecosystems through direct and indirect effects on freshwater organisms and their interactions.

A correction model for quenching effects on chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements in lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Characterizing the vertical structure of phytoplankton biomass is key to understanding the light, nutrient, and mixing dynamics driving lake ecosystems. In situ fluorometry is widely used in limnology to obtain chlorophyll a (Chl a) measurements as proxies for phytoplankton biomass.

Pressurized plankton observatory offers a new window into deep‐sea larval behavior

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The High‐Pressure Plankton Observatory (HiPPO) is designed to quantify motions of zooplankton for behavioral study, including swimming and metabolic responses to environmental perturbations. It builds on prior chamber designs while filling gaps in capability for resolving orientation of small (< 1 mm) plankton, tracking their movements over ...

Impact of seasonal changes in zooplankton biodiversity in Ukkadam Lake, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, and potential future implications of climate change

open access: yesJournal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2018
Background Zooplankton biodiversity serves as an ecological indicator of aquatic environment due to their rapid response according to environmental changes. At the present study, impact of seasonal changes on zooplankton biodiversity was conducted in the

Do environmental fluctuations during development affect trait variation? An experimental test with salinity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Human‐induced climate change is a driver of extinction, with extreme events occurring more frequently. It increases both the amount and fluctuations in environmental stress that organisms experience. In such environments, greater intra‐specific trait variation creates more potential for adaptation through natural selection.

Metaproteomic Dataset on Semi‐Diurnal Variability of the Bacterioplankton Communities During a Spring Phytoplankton Bloom in the North Sea

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phytoplankton blooms create a substrate‐rich environment that supports the growth of bacterial planktonic heterotrophs. Previously, we studied the dynamics of such bacterioplankton at a long‐term ecological research site near the coast of Helgoland Island (North Sea) once a day.
