For more than 200 years, the metabolic response that accompanies meal digestion has
been characterized, theorized, and experimentally studied. Historically labeled “specific …

Ocean acidification (OA) caused by anthropogenic CO2 emission is projected for thousands
of years to come, and significant effects are predicted for many marine organisms. While …

Worldwide, urbanization leads to tremendous anthropogenic environmental alterations,
causing strong selection pressures on populations of animals and plants. Although a key …

Reduced grazing on harmful algal bloom species has been attributed to both the feeding
deterrence and toxicity of the algae. Both toxic and deterrent effects of dinoflagellates of the …

In natural environments, two or more abiotic parameters often vary simultaneously, and
interactions between co-varying parameters frequently result in unpredictable, non-additive …

Calanus hyperboreus is a large-bodied, biomass dominant species that performs a crucial
ecosystem energy transfer by converting the spring phytoplankton bloom into lipid reserves …

Salinity variability at short time scales constitutes a severe restriction to marine life in coastal
and estuarine ecosystems. In these environments zooplankters may experience rapid …

Short-term, acute warming events are increasing in frequency across the world's oceans. For
short-lived species like most copepods, these extreme events can occur over both within …

Anthropogenic emissions cause the global CO 2 partial pressure (pCO 2) to increase, and
atmospheric models predict a pCO 2 of~ 1,000 µatm by the year 2100. About one-third of …

In this chapter metazooplankton (> 200 µm) respiration in aquatic systems is reviewed,
including methodology, modifying agents (physical, chemical, and biological factors) …
