Copepods are important crustaceans studied because of their key role in ecology, trophic
biology, fisheries management, in modeling the flow of energy and matter, ecotoxicology …

Coastal plankton show fluctuations in abundance and species composition. Resting stage
(cyst) production is a common strategy adopted by hundreds of plankton species to ensure …

Marine free living copepods can survive harsh periods and cope with seasonal fluctuations
in environmental conditions using resting eggs (embryonic dormancy). Laboratory …

Oil contamination is an environmental hazard to marine ecosystems, but marine organism
tolerance to oil after many generations of exposure remains poorly known. We studied the …

This report investigates female sizes, egg sizes and egg hatching rates in relation to
temperature for the near-shore calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa cultured at 6, 9, 14 and 24° …

Long-lasting embryonic dormancy in invertebrates defies our understanding of what
constitutes life because, for example, eggs of some copepods can delay hatching for …

The euryhaline, eurytherm copepod Acartia tonsa plays a key role in many marine food
webs as a grazer on phytoplankton and as prey species for commercially important …

Tropical coastal areas are increasingly exposed to temperature extremes from marine
heatwaves and contaminants from anthropogenic activities. The interactive effects of these …

Marine biological invasions have increased with the development of global trading, causing
the homogenization of communities and the decline of biodiversity. A main vector is ballast …

Oil exploration is expected to increase in the near future in Western Greenland. At present,
effects of exposure to oil compounds on early life-stages of the ecologically important …
