Zooplankton growth rates ultimately shape the functional response of marine ecosystems to
regional and global climate changes, because they determine the quantity and distribution …

The ever-increasing presence of pharmaceutical drugs in the environment is a motif of
concern, and human-use drugs are of particular importance. This is the case of paracetamol …

We investigated the influence of nutrient-rich oceanic waters in comparison to the estuarine
outflow from Santos Bay (SE Brazil) on copepod abundance and production on the adjacent …

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires the assessment of ecological quality of
water bodies based on physico-chemical and biological elements. This paper is focused on …

The seasonal distribution of the major components of the zooplankton community,
protozooplankton, copepods and cladocerans, along a eutrophication gradient were …

The influence of rainfall and hydrological variables on the abundance and diversity of the
copepod community was investigated on a monthly basis over an annual cycle in the …

The zooplankton abundance and composition of the Patos Lagoon Estuary (PLE) reflects
the local hydrological regime with alternating periods of flood, freshwater run-off and mixing …

In order to study the influence of physical forcing at different temporal scales, zooplankton
was sampled at a fixed station located at the mouth of Mondego estuary (southern Europe) …

The variability in zooplankton density and species composition in response to tidal
oscillations were investigated in the lesser saline upper reaches (E1) and higher saline …

Declines in bivalve populations have been quite common worldwide, often associated with
coastal development, pollution and climate change. In addition to the impacts of these …
