A First Record on Microplastic Ingestion by Tropical Estuarine Copepods of Bangladesh
Microplastics (MPs) pollution is a profound problem around the world yet it’s study on the effect on zooplankton including copepods are very limited....

Highlighting the promise of qPCR-based environmental monitoring: response of the ribosomal RNA:DNA ratio of calanoid copepods to toxic cyanobacteria
Calanoid copepods are integral to aquatic food webs and may drive the bioaccumulation of toxins and heavy metals, spread of infectious diseases, and...

Freshwater Flow Affects Subsidies of a Copepod (Pseudodiaptomus forbesi) to Low-Salinity Food Webs in the Upper San Francisco Estuary
Productivity of the food web supporting small pelagic fishes in the upper San Francisco Estuary is chronically low, and some of the native fish...

Copepod carcasses in the western Bay of Bengal and associated ecology
Although a portion of all copepods in the natural environment are physiologically inactive or dead, there is little data on this aspect in Indian...

Grazing behaviour of tropical calanoid copepods and its effect on phytoplankton community structure
The Netravathi estuary is a micro- to mesotidal, tropical, shallow estuary with an abundant density of phytoplankton. The impact of the zooplankton...

Effects of nickel oxide nanoparticles on survival, reproduction, and oxidative stress biomarkers in the marine calanoid copepod Centropages ponticus under short-term exposure
Excessive use of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) in various industrial and commercial products can lead to various negative effects in human and...

Factors Controlling Calanoid Copepod Biomass and Distribution in the Upper San Francisco Estuary and Implications for Managing the Imperiled Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)
Delta smelt struggle to persist in a dramatically altered estuarine environment. Complex and incompletely understood relationships between food...

Ecology of Biofouling Zooplankton in Chinnamuttom Fishing Harbor, Southeast Coast of India
Abstract —The oceans are changing on a global scale. Zooplankton of the marine ecosystem are microscopic myriads of diverse, floating and drifting...

Effects of cyclone Fani on the copepod community of the Ganges River estuary of India
A cyclone temporarily disrupts copepod community structure of an estuary, and during the community rebuilding process, omnivorous copepods dominate....

Feeding of Marine Zooplankton on Microplastic Fibers
The goal of our study was to examine the effects of low abundances of nylon fibers on feeding rates of calanoid copepods (Crustacea, Copepoda) and...

Diel Behaviors of Zooplankton Interact with Tidal Patterns to Drive Spatial Subsidies in the Northern San Francisco Estuary
Spatial subsidies and habitat connectivity are critical factors in estuarine trophic webs. Advection and tidal dispersion of organic matter including...

Production of the Copepod Pseudodiaptomus forbesi Is Not Enhanced by Ingestion of the Diatom Aulacoseira granulata During a Bloom
In 2016, a massive bloom of the chain-forming diatom Aulacoseira granulata occurred in the upper San Francisco Estuary, California, with chlorophyll...

Copepod Assemblage Dynamics in a Snowmelt-Dominated Estuary
What limits secondary production in the estuaries of snowmelt-dominated basins? Due to substantial differences in their annual hydrographs,...

Distribution and bioaccumulation status of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Veraval coastal waters using copepods as bio-indicators
The study investigates the pollution characteristics of 16 priority PAHs, accumulated in copepods from a major fishing harbour and its adjacent...

Small copepods of the deep South Adriatic Pit: diversity, seasonal and multi-annual dynamics, and implications from the regional hydrography
In order to expand the fragmentary knowledge on the interactions between the environment and copepod distribution in the deep offshore Adriatic Sea,...

Spatial Heterogeneity in Prey Availability, Feeding Success, and Dietary Selectivity for the Threatened Longfin Smelt
Food availability is a key determinant of the nursery value of a given habitat for larval and juvenile fishes. Growth, survival, and recruitment...

A Technique on the Culture and Preservation of Marine Copepod Eggs
The search for the ideal copepod for marine fish larvae that can be cultured intensively is ongoing. Copepods are nutritionally suitable for marine...

Acartia tonsa Dana 1849 as a Model Organism: Considerations on Acclimation in Ecotoxicological Assays
The copepod Acartia tonsa was standardized as model organism in acute toxicity bioassays due to its key position in coastal food chains and high...

Effects of bifenthrin on microcrustaceans grazing behavior on a phytoplankton assemblage dominated by Cyanobacteria
Insecticides are widely used for pest control and frequently reach aquatic systems, imposing a risk to the biota. In this work, the effect of...
