Benthic–pelagic coupling is manifested as the exchange of energy, mass, or nutrients
between benthic and pelagic habitats. It plays a prominent role in aquatic ecosystems, and it …

Our limited intuition of the small‐scale world of the plankton has biased the way we describe
and understand ocean ecology. Classical approaches consider fluxes of energy and matter …

Oceanographic conditions in the brackish central Baltic Sea are strongly linked to
atmospheric forcing and the unusual period of persistently strong westerlies that, since the …

1. The role of seasonal phenology in the emergence of zooplankton from diapause in
patterns of seasonal abundance in the water column was investigated in Oneida Lake, New …

The interest in large-scale culturing of copepods for marine fish aquaculture is growing,
however studies quantifying the optimal conditions for intensive copepod production are …

Acidification of the seas, caused by increased dissolution of CO2 into surface water, and
global warming challenge the adaptation mechanisms of marine organisms. In boreal …

Marine micro-organisms must cope with complex flow patterns and even turbulence as they
navigate the ocean. To survive they must avoid predation and find efficient energy sources …

Understanding species phenology and temporal co‐occurrence across trophic levels is
essential to assess anthropogenic impacts on ecological interactions. We analyzed 15 yr of …

Understanding how biodiversity changes in time and space is vital to assess the effects of
environmental change on benthic ecosystems. Due to the limitations of morphological …

This paper presents an overall bioinvasion impact assessment on the scale of a large
marine region—the Baltic Sea, as defined by the Helsinki Commission. The methodology is …
