Microplastics integrating the zooplanktonic fraction in a saline lake of Argentina: influence of water management
(Springer, 2020-01-16)
This study address for the first time in Argentina and the South American continent the effect of water management on the presence of microplastics (MPs) in a shallow lake, assessing their contribution to the zooplankton ...
Flow disturbances generated by feeding and swimming zooplankton
(National Academy Of Sciences, 2014-08-12)
Interactions between planktonic organisms, such as detection of prey, predators, and mates, are often mediated by fluid signals. Consequently, many plankton predators perceive their prey from the fluid disturbances that ...
Zooplankton sensitivity and phytoplankton regrowth for ballast water treatment with advanced oxidation processes
The ballasting and de-ballasting of ships are two necessary operations with ballast water that provide stability for safe navigation.
Empty ships must ballast tanks with water, which contains living organisms and subsequently ...
Meso-zooplankton structure and functioning in the western tropical South Pacific along the 20th parallel south during the OUTPACE survey (February-April 2015)
(2018)
The western tropical South Pacific (WTSP) is one of the most understudied oceanic regions in terms of the planktonic food web, despite supporting some of the largest tuna fisheries in the world. In this stratified oligotrophic ...
Spatial variability of zooplankton community structure in Colombian Caribbean waters during two seasons
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2018)
Modelling key variables for understanding the effects of grazing and nutrient recycling by zooplankton on the freshwater microbial loop
1. Pelagic microbial food webs are structured by zooplankton through grazing and nutrient recycling. Cladocerans and copepods are assumed to display different effects on the microbial loop by grazing on different prey sizes ...

Assessing the relevance of top-down and bottom-up effects as phytoplankton structure drivers in a subtropical hypereutrophic shallow lake
(Springer, 2019-03-22)
Although several studies explain the trophic cascade in water systems, we lack knowledge about top-down–bottom-up effects on phytoplankton from eutrophic lakes. In this study, we tested the importance of trophic cascades ...
