There is increasing concern about the impacts of microplastics (< 1 mm) on marine biota.
Microplastics may be mistaken for food items and ingested by a wide variety of organisms …

Ocean biology helps regulate global climate by fixing atmospheric CO2 and exporting it to
deep waters as sinking detrital particles. New observations demonstrate that particle …

With thousands of tons of Tyre Wear Particles (TWP) entering the aquatic environment every
year, TWP are considered a major contributor to microplastic pollution. TWP leach organic …

Zooplankton are an important trophic link and a key food source for many larval fish species
in estuarine ecosystems. The present study documents temporal and spatial zooplankton …

Zooplankton may modify their feeding behavior in response to prey availability and
presence of predators with implications to populations of both predators and prey. Optimal …

The worldwide climate has been changing rapidly over the past decades. Air temperatures
have been increasing in most regions and will probably continue to rise for most of the …

We estimated the influence of planktonic and benthic grazing on phytoplankton in the
strongly tidal, river-dominated northern San Francisco Estuary using data from an intensive …

Heat waves–extended periods of abnormally hot weather–are predicted to increase in
severity and frequency under climate change. The severity of heat waves should impact …

Model representations of plankton structure and dynamics have consequences for a broad
spectrum of ocean processes. Here we focus on the representation of zooplankton and their …

We studied the feeding behavior of the nauplii and adult females of the marine cyclopoid
copepod Oithona davisae in the laboratory. Functional response experiments showed that …
