DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-41212-2
Abstract: This study investigates the association between an index of mesozooplankton biomass, derived from the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey and satellite-derived productivity fronts in the North Atlantic. While chlorophyll-a content (CHL) is commonly described as a… read more here.

Trophic flows to mesozooplankton support the conventional paradigm of pelagic food web structure in ocean ecosystems

DOI: 10.1093/icesjms/fsae131
Abstract: The current conventional paradigm of ocean food web structure inserts one full level or more of microzooplankton heterotrophic consumption, a substantial energy drop, between phytoplankton and mesozooplankton. Using a dataset with contemporaneous measurements of primary… read more here.

Diversity and Distribution of Mesozooplankton in the Coastal Southwestern Mediterranean Alboran Sea, during Summer: What Are the Driving Factors?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Marine Science and Engineering"
DOI: 10.3390/jmse12040674
Abstract: The southern Alboran Sea is a dynamic ecosystem and is highly influenced by Atlantic waters. Unfortunately, despite the importance of the mesozooplankton in this ecosystem, the number of studies on this ecosystem is low. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jmse13112151
Abstract: Mesozooplankton are pivotal for Black Sea food webs, yet they are highly vulnerable to hydrographic variability, eutrophication, and human pressures. This study analysed mesozooplankton dynamics along the Romanian coast (2013–2020) across three sectors (north, central,… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-22-7233-2025
Abstract: Abstract. Mesozooplankton present a wide range of functionally diverse heterotrophic organisms ranging from 200 µm to 2 cm that are essential to marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. In most ocean biogeochemical models, mesozooplankton are represented as a… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.9430
Abstract: The impacts of grazing by meso- and microzooplankton on phytoplankton primary production (PP) was investigated in the surface layer of the western North Atlantic during spring. Shipboard experiments were performed on a latitudinal transect at… read more here.
