Salps provide an important mechanism for energy transfer from primary producers to higher-
order consumers and they can also make a significant contribution to biogeochemical …

We analyzed long-term (56-year) variations in springtime biomass of the zooplankton of the
California Current System from two primary regions sampled by CalCOFI: Southern …

The potential impacts of climate change on marine planktonic ecosystems remain difficult to
predict. Climate forcing can alter nutrient availability and predator community composition …

The occurrence of large patches of gelatinous zooplankton has for decades been
considered to be unpredictable. An evaluation of our own data and published results on …

Ecological succession provides a widely accepted description of seasonal changes in
phytoplankton and mesozooplankton assemblages in the natural environment, but …

We developed a one-dimensional model to estimate salp contributions to vertical carbon flux
at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site in the North Atlantic subtropical gyre …

Abstract The Oyashio–Kuroshio Transitional Region (OKTR) is a nursery ground for pelagic
fishes; thus, community succession of mesozooplankton is pivotal to understand prey …

Coinciding with the marine heat wave in 2014 and a strong El Niño in 2016, blooms of the
tropical-temperate pelagic colonial tunicate, Pyrosoma atlanticum, expanded into the …

The taxonomic composition of the thaliaceans was analyzed using 86 plankton samples
collected in autumn (expeditions: IV= 04/13 to 05/10 2012; VI= 05/09 to 06/12 2013) and …

We analyzed variations in naturally occurring δ15N in four species of zooplankton as an
index of climate influences on pelagic food web structure in a major eastern boundary …
