A well-known example of a mammal that feeds in the water is the crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophaga), which consumes large ...

Zooplankton are one of the most diverse and abundant groups of organisms on Earth and they play an essential role in the marine food chain. Unable to photosynthesise, as phytoplankton do ...

1-16 (16 pages) Lake thermocline depth is likely to be altered with climate change. We assessed the response of crustacean zooplankton biomass and productivity to an experimental whole-lake ...

The two most prominent types of plankton in the ocean are zooplankton, which are tiny animal organisms, and phytoplankton, which are plantlike. (Other forms of plankton include bacterial and fungal.

Episodic inputs of DOC may support increased bacterial production. However, the role of DOC in supporting zooplankton production is widely debated. To evaluate this role we performed an in situ ...

During cyanobacterial blooms, small-bodied zooplankton tend to dominate plankton communities, and past observational studies have attributed this pattern to anti-herbivore traits of cyanobacteria ...

Researchers say the species of zooplankton that the fish feed on is becoming beyond their reach as sea temperatures continue to rise. “As the planet becomes warmer, Pacific saury will probably ...

To reveal how temperature influences competition and population growth, the team focused on Daphnia pulex, a small zooplankton species that plays a vital role in freshwater food webs and water ...
