We present an overview of the plankton studies conducted during the last 25 years in the
epipelagic offshore waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This quasi-enclosed sea is …

Although the pelagic ciliate (microzooplankton) play important role in carbon flux of marine
ecosystems, their ecological function, habitat suitability classification and response to global …

We analyzed picoeukaryote assemblages at a French coastal site of the English Channel by
sequencing cloned eukaryotic 18S rRNA genes in eight genetic libraries constructed from …

This work is a study of plankton food web structure and carbon flow in March and September
1997 in the Aegean Sea, area of outflow of Black Sea waters in the Mediterranean Sea …

The distribution of the chlorophyll a concentration ([Chl a]) in the Mediterranean Sea, mainly
obtained from satellite surface observations or from scattered in situ experiments, is updated …

The effect of phosphate (P), nitrate (N), and organic carbon (C, glucose) enrichment on
heterotrophic bacterial production was examined along two longitudinal transects covering …

Marine primary productivity is an important agent in the global cycling of carbon dioxide, a
major 'greenhouse gas', and variations in the concentration of the ocean's phytoplankton …

The Amundsen Sea has been described as one of the most productive and dynamic pelagic
systems in Antarctica and is one of the least studied. Based on samples from 15 stations in …

We examined tintinnid (loricate ciliate microzooplankton) diversity using data from 11
stations between the Moroccan upwelling system and the oligotrophic Eastern …

In dilution experiments, filtered seawater is used to create a gradient of grazing pressure on
phytoplankton. Microzooplankton grazing is estimated by examining phytoplankton growth …
