Temporal variation in diversity, abundance and size class structure of planktonic copepods from a tropical estuary
A study on the community structure of planktonic copepods was carried out in the down stretch of Ashtamudi estuary (AE) for a period of two years...

Seasonal copepod dynamics and biomass in Harima-Nada, eastern Seto Inland Sea, Japan
Copepods play an important role in marine ecosystems as key prey species of important commercial fishes. However, there is very limited data for the...

Study on composition and spatio-temporal variation of zooplankton community in coal mine generated pit lakes, West Bengal, India
Most of the ecological studies on mine water have been done in riverine systems, although mine-fed waterways have also been thoroughly studied....

Parasite–copepod interactions in Svalbard: diversity, host specificity, and seasonal patterns
Copepods of the genera Calanus and Pseudocalanus are important components of Arctic marine ecosystems. Despite the key roles of these zooplankters,...

Temporal patterns of alpha and beta diversities of microzooplankton in a eutrophic tidal river in the eastern Amazon
Tidal rivers are peculiar, yet vastly unknown. These rivers are characterized by dynamic tides without saline intrusion. This unusual environmental...

Seasonal dynamics of body size in calanoid copepods (Calanoida: Copepoda) from the stressed tropical coast of India, Chennai, Bay of Bengal
Calanoid copepods have gained significant interest due to their rapid response to changes in environment. This study examined the seasonal variation...

Copepods (Zooplankton) of Muriganga Estuary, at West Bengal Coast, India
Estuarine plankton are often influenced by seasonal change and abiotic variability. The copepod community of India’s Muriganga estuary was...
-
Diapause vs. reproductive programs: transcriptional phenotypes in a keystone copepod
Many arthropods undergo a seasonal dormancy termed “diapause” to optimize timing of reproduction in highly seasonal environments. In the North...

Environmental stability and long-term variability of harpacticoid copepod assemblages
Harpacticoid copepods of the Chernaya Bay (White Sea) intertidal zone were collected in 45 surveys carried out from spring to autumn over a 25-year...

Stable isotope labeling reveals patterns in essential fatty acid growth efficiency in a lipid-poor coastal calanoid copepod
Copepods are an important link in marine food webs, transferring crucial nutrients such as essential fatty acids (EFA) from primary producers to...
-
Trait-based approach revealed the seasonal variation of mesozooplankton functional groups in the South Yellow Sea
Functional traits determine the fitness of organisms and mirror their ecological functions. Although trait-based approaches provide ecological...

Temporal dynamics and environmental drivers of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) densities in the northeast Chukchi Sea
The Chukchi Sea pelagic ecosystem continues to undergo dramatic oceanographic changes associated with reductions in sea ice and increasing...
-
A prolonged drought period reduced temporal β diversity of zooplankton, phytoplankton, and fish metacommunities in a Neotropical floodplain
Extreme climate events and the damming of natural rivers can intensify the effects of droughts and floods, which can consequently affect aquatic...

Considering sub-basins in the spatio-temporal dynamics of lake food webs
The dynamics of populations in lake food webs are driven by a combination of spatial, environmental, and trophic processes. Differences among taxa in...

Temporal changes in plankton diversity in relation to hydrographical characteristics at Perumal Lake, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, India
BackgroundThe fresh water environment supports the productivity of phyto- and zooplankters and fin and shell fishes. The rate of fish productivity of...

Sex differences in early transcriptomic responses to oxidative stress in the copepod Tigriopus californicus
BackgroundPatterns of gene expression can be dramatically different between males and females of the same species, in part due to genes on sex...

Growth and reproductive rates of the dominant copepod Pseudodiaptomus forbesi in response to environmental factors and habitat type in the northern San Francisco Estuary
We examined growth and egg production rates of Pseudodiaptomus forbesi ( Copepoda : Calanoida ) in the northern San Francisco Estuary (SFE), California,...
-
Evolutionary origins of genomic adaptations in an invasive copepod
The ability of populations to expand their geographical ranges, whether as invaders, agricultural strains or climate migrants, is currently one of...

Dynamics of Gut Bacteria Across Different Zooplankton Genera in the Baltic Sea
In aquatic ecosystems, zooplankton-associated bacteria potentially have a great impact on the structure of ecosystems and trophic networks by...
-
Zooplankton densities reduced by increases in resource N:P in hypereutrophic mesocosms
Ecological stoichiometry of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) has been well studied as a driver of zooplankton dynamics in lakes; yet, we still lack a...
