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 …

The mesopelagic zone is the oceanic region through which carbon and other elements must
pass in order to reach deeper waters or the sea floor. However, the food web interactions …

Microscopic plastic debris, termed “microplastics”, are of increasing environmental concern.
Recent studies have demonstrated that a range of zooplankton, including copepods, can …

The Ocean plays a central role in Earth's climate and has absorbed 93% of the extra energy
from the enhanced greenhouse effect and approximately 30% of anthropogenic carbon …

Abstract Microplastics (1 μm–5 mm) are a ubiquitous marine contaminant of global concern,
ingested by a wide range of marine taxa. Copepods are a key component of marine food …

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

Richardson, AJ 2008. In hot water: zooplankton and climate change.–ICES Journal of
Marine Science, 65: 279–295. An overview is provided of the observed and potential future …

The continuous plankton recorder (CPR) survey is the largest multi-decadal plankton
monitoring programme in the world. It was initiated in 1931 and by the end of 2004 had …

Large‐scale biogeographical changes in the biodiversity of a key zooplankton group
(calanoid copepods) were detected in the north‐eastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean and …

Australia's marine life is highly diverse and endemic. Here we describe projections of
climate change in Australian waters and examine from the literature likely impacts of these …
