Copepods are the most abundant organisms in marine zooplankton and the primary components of the food chain. They are hotspots for highly adaptable microorganisms …
The present paper was aimed at investigating the role of disposable medical masks as a substrate for microbial biofilm growth and for the selection of specific microbial traits in highly …
The planktonic realm from bacteria to zooplankton provides the baseline for pelagic aquatic food webs. However, multiple trophic levels are seldomly included in time series studies …
Bottom–up selection has an important role in microbial community assembly but is unable to account for all observed variance. Other processes like top–down selection (eg, predation) …
A comparison of the movement characteristics between bacteria with and without wall accumulation could potentially elucidate the mechanisms of biofilm formation. However …
Plankton‐derived, microscopic, and macroscopic sinking aggregates constitute most of the particulate organic carbon (POC) flux in the oceans. While the flux of particulate organic …

The aggregation of phytoplankton leads to the settling of particulate organic carbon in the form of marine snow, making it an important process in marine biogeochemical cycles …
Reproductive rates of copepods are temperature-dependent, but poorly known for small copepods at low temperatures, hindering the predictions of population dynamics and …
