The seasonal succession of plankton is an annually repeated process of community
assembly during which all major external factors and internal interactions shaping …

Traditionally, diatoms have been regarded as providing the bulk of the food that sustains the
marine food chain and important fisheries. However, this view was challenged almost two …

In recent years a negative influence of diatom-derived α, β, γ, δ-unsaturated aldehydes
(PUA) on the reproductive success of copepods and invertebrates has been suggested …

Recruitment success at the early life stages is a critical process for zooplankton
demography. Copepods often dominate the zooplankton in marine coastal zones and are …

Diatoms are highly abundant unicellular algae that often dominate pelagic as well as
benthic primary production in the oceans and inland waters. Being strictly dependent on …

Oxylipins are important signal transduction molecules widely distributed in animals and
plants where they regulate a variety of events associated with physiological and …

Since the introduction of the microbial loop concept, awareness of the role played by
protozooplankton in marine food webs has grown. By consuming bacteria, and then being …

Lipid and fatty acid composition are considered to be key parameters that determine the
nutritive quality of phytoplankton diets for zooplanktonic herbivores. The fitness …
