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 quality ...

Mesoscale eddies, oceanic gyres about 100 kilometers in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a ...

In an innovative effort to combat climate change, a Dartmouth-led study has proposed a method that employs trillions of microscopic zooplankton to accelerate the ocean’s natural carbon removal ...

Every morning is an early morning for scientists working the flood plains of the Sacramento Valley. Thousands of small bugs ...

Kiel. How is organic matter transported from productive coastal areas to the open ocean? Researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and MARUM - Centre for Marine ...

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 ...

Beth Versak of Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources said this week that really cold and snowy winters can result in ...

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 ...
