Defence mechanisms in phytoplankton: traits and trade-offs

New review experimentally exploring plankton defense mechanism

Copepods

Flying Copepods

Some copepods, mm-sized zooplankton, that live in the very surface layer of the ocean jump out of the water and perform spectacular flights when escaping from predators...

Implications of late-in-life density-dependent growth for fishery size-at-entry

Density dependence is the major driving force behind population regulation. Here we looked at density-dependent growth in real-life fish stocks, and how this relates...

How do copepods respond to toxic prey? And can the copepods acclimate to algal...

Many species of phytoplankton produce substances that are toxic to both human consumers and planktonic grazers, and toxin production is often considered a defense mechanism...

Temporal and spatial differences between taxonomic and trait biodiversity in a...

Biodiversity is a multifaceted concept, yet most biodiversity studies have taken a taxonomic approach, implying that all species are equally important. However, species...

Global patterns in marine predatory fish

Why do we find primarily large pelagic predators such as tunas and billfish in the tropics, while in boreal and temperate regions large demersal species of gadoids and...

New paper on invasive species from ocean life

Life-history traits of comb jellies (Mnemiopsis) invaded to European waters start reproducing at a body mass 100 times less than in mother populations. This is consistent...
