Zooplankton are the intermediate trophic level between phytoplankton and fish, and are an
important component of carbon and nutrient cycles, accounting for a large proportion of the …

Massive blooms of Nemopilema nomurai have occurred recently across East Asian waters.
They are potentially important as zooplankton predators, as well as being competitors for …

Functional trait and functional diversity indices reflect the variations of community structure
and indicate their responses to environmental stress. In this study, based on four functional …

Changes in zooplankton community and distribution have significant influences on fishery
resources due to their vital role in the marine food web. Seasonal variations in zooplankton …

Urbanization causes immense eutrophication pressure on small urban wetlands, which play
a vital role in urban ecosystems. However, our comprehension of the prolonged impacts of …

Jellyfish play an important role in the material cycling and energy flow of food webs, and
massive aggregations may have deleterious consequences for local fisheries; yet a …

Ciliated protozoa (ciliates) play important ecological roles in coastal waters, especially
regarding their interaction with environmental parameters. In order to increase our …

In this study, the concept of functional traits was used to classify zooplankton into functional
groups and their seasonal dynamics were determined in relation to physico-chemical factors …

Anthropogenic habitat alteration interferes the natural aquatic habitats and the system's
hydrodynamics in the Yangtze River floodplain lakes, resulting in a serious decline in …

The seasonal cycles of sea surface Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration in the Bohai and
Yellow Seas (BYS) were examined using new remotely sensed Chl-a products derived …
