There is an increasing body of evidence to support the significant role of invertebrates in
assessing impacts of environmental contaminants on marine ecosystems. Therefore, in …

Copepods are key components of aquatic habitats across the globe. Understanding how
they respond to warming is important for predicting the effects of climate change on aquatic …

Ecologists have always believed, at least to a certain extent, that physiological mechanisms
serve to underpin ecological patterns. However, their importance has traditionally been at …

Because of their wide geographic distribution, position in the trophic chain, rapid turnover,
huge biomass and role in ocean biogeochemical cycles, copepods are regarded as …

Intertidal harpacticoid copepods are commonly used in eco-toxicity tests worldwide. They
predominately live in mid-high shore rock pools and often experience a wide range of …

Thermal adaptation to spatially varying environmental conditions occurs in a wide range of
species, but what is less clear is the nature of fitness trade-offs associated with this …

The toxicity of three insecticides (carbofuran, dichlorvos, malathion), an herbicide (atrazine),
and two metals (arsenic and cadmium) to ovigerous females, copepodids, and nauplii …

In vicariance biogeography, the traditional focus on solely determining area relationships
can obscure biologically interesting complexity. Even in the case of neighboring sister areas …

Paractora dreuxi displays distinct ontogenetic differences in thermal tolerance and water
balance. Larvae are moderately freeze tolerant. Mean larval onset of chill coma was− 5.1° C …

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that bivalve molluscs routinely ingest
zooplankton. To elucidate further these observations, a 15-month study of zooplankton …
