It's spring, the sun is shining and something is about to happen with the plankton in the cold waters of the Arctic Ocean.

The annual spring blooms of phytoplankton form the very foundation of marine ecosystems, yet there is still much we do not know. “I study zooplankton. I want to understand what differentiates ...

Benjamin Van Mooy and his team found a relationship between plankton, omega-3 fatty acids and warming ocean waters.

The eDNA identified more environmental factors associated with seasonal changes in zooplankton communities than microscopy, including dissolved oxygen (DO), nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU), ammonia ...

The presence of microplastics in marine environments disrupts carbon cycles and contributes to climate change, affecting ...

Methods: In this study, the 2008–2017 period was defined as “the sea ice retreat year,” and its zooplankton community distribution representative was estimated using generalized dissimilarity modeling ...

Why these invisible organisms generate a significant portion of oxygen, absorb vast amounts of carbon, and purify water ...

Four examples of instruments currently used for automated imaging methods in plankton monitoring ... chamber to record high-resolution images of zooplankton samples. C - The Imaging FlowCytobot ...

The reductions in beta diversity are unlikely to be a result of mass effects and only partly explained by indirect dispersal-mediated interactions with phytoplankton and zooplankton. Our results ...

Undersea mountains are key locations for predators—with 41 times more sharks than the open ocean, new research shows.
