Abstract Nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton (NPZ) models have been in use in
oceanography for at least three decades, and are still a common research tool. Given the …

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 …

We investigated the effects of three sizes of polystyrene (PS) microbeads (0.05, 0.5, and 6-
μm diameter) on the survival, development, and fecundity of the copepod Tigriopus …

Ecosystem processes are important determinants of the biogeochemistry of the ocean, and
they can be profoundly affected by changes in climate. Ocean models currently express …

Preface the basins of the Arctic Ocean and to present these data in common or parallel
formats. A coherent picture of sediment and organic carbon inputs from the ocean's margins …

Using life history theory we make predictions of mortality rates in marine epi-pelagic
copepods from field estimates of adult fecundity, development times and adult sex ratios …

The interannual to decadal variability in the timing and magnitude of the North Atlantic
phytoplankton bloom is examined using a combination of satellite data and output from an …

Here we present a new, pan-Atlantic compilation and analysis of data on Calanus
finmarchicus abundance, demography, dormancy, egg production and mortality in relation to …

Exploring climate and anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems requires an
understanding of how trophic components interact. However, integrative end-to-end …

The large oscillations of abiotic factors in the Arctic is critical in structuring its marine biota
and the biodiversity of its indigenous populations and communities. The seasonal light cycle …
