A new study looks at how natural selection works more subtly than previously believed while an organism is in a stable ...

They found that some species of grazing zooplankton, daphnia, which are an important source of food for fish, were particularly vulnerable. Phytoplankton diatoms were also severely impacted.

Here, we analyzed laboratory observations of fluid mixing that are caused by vertically migrating zooplankton (Daphnia magna) in a density-stratified water column. Mixing rates were quantified at the ...

Feces doesn’t appear to be on the menu for zooplankton. While these tiny aquatic animals are known to graze on other bacteria, new research indicates that they do not “clean” fresh or ...

For this project, we conducted controlled laboratory experiments with zooplankton (water fleas, Daphnia magna), fish (fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas), and larval amphibians (gray treefrogs, Hyla ...

Zooplankton play limited role in cleaning contaminated water Study sheds light on limitations of naturally occurring zooplankton for inactivating pathogen contaminated water Date: October 3, 2024 ...

To better comprehend the ‘hidden’ influence of parasites in community and ecosystem ecology, we use two empirical host-parasite systems from freshwater habitats: trematode parasites in pond ...

The two most prominent types of plankton in the ocean are zooplankton, which are tiny animal organisms, and phytoplankton, which are plantlike. (Other forms of plankton include bacterial and fungal.

For example, some species of zooplankton (such as the crustacean Daphnia) have low body N:P ratio in their biomass while others (such as copepods) have high N:P ratio. Theoretical models ...

During cyanobacterial blooms, small-bodied zooplankton tend to dominate plankton communities, and past observational studies have attributed this pattern to anti-herbivore traits of cyanobacteria ...
