Abstract A 4-year (2015–2018) weekly to bi-weekly time series of phytoplankton biomass
and composition derived from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) …

Microplastic particles (hereafter'microplastics') are a widespread class of pollutants in
marine environments that can become embedded in food webs. Due to their diverse …

Many arthropods undergo a seasonal dormancy termed “diapause” to optimize timing of
reproduction in highly seasonal environments. In the North Atlantic, the copepod Calanus …

Marine food webs are strongly size-structured and size-based analysis of communities is a
useful approach to evaluate food webs in a way that can be compared across systems. Fatty …

Abstract The productivity of Fraser River sockeye salmon has declined in recent years, with
2019 being the lowest return on record. The cause of the decline is still not fully understood; …

Mesozooplankton abundance and community composition are influenced by hydrography
and biological interactions. In subtropical systems influenced by seasonal monsoons …

Protists (eukaryotic microorganisms) commonly form symbiotic associations with crustacean
zooplankton, but their diversity, prevalence and ecological roles are underestimated due to …

Particulate organic matter (POM) forms the base of the pelagic food web, but is a complex
category of material that undergoes substantial changes in quantity and quality across …

Temperate coastal marine environments are typified by strong seasonality and highly
productive annual spring phytoplankton blooms. However, in areas of strong tidal activity …

We used a three-dimensional coupled biophysical model to examine zooplankton dynamics
in the Salish Sea, NE Pacific. First, we evaluated the two zooplankton classes of the …
