DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8972
Abstract: Abstract Freshwater ecosystems face multiple threats to their stability globally. Poyang Lake is the largest lake in China, but its habitat has been seriously degraded because of human activities and natural factors (e.g. climate change),… read more here.

Critical role of parasite‐mediated energy pathway on community response to nutrient enrichment

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9622
Abstract: Abstract Parasites form an integral part of food webs, however, they are often ignored in classic food web theory or limited to the investigation of trophic transmission pathways. Specifically, direct consumption of parasites by nonhost… read more here.

The effects of hypolimnetic anoxia on the diel vertical migration of freshwater crustacean zooplankton
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2332
Abstract: Lakes and reservoirs worldwide are increasingly experiencing depletion of dissolved oxygen (anoxia) in their bottom waters (the hypolimnion) because of climate change and eutrophication, which is altering the dynamics of many freshwater ecological communities. Hypolimnetic… read more here.

Local adaptation to UV radiation in zooplankton: a behavioral and physiological approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3081
Abstract: Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is recognized as a driving force for phenotypic divergence. Here, we aim at assessing the ability of zooplankton to induce UVR tolerance and disentangle the relative importance of local adaptations behind the… read more here.

Bet-hedgers commit to the hedge: Zooplankton in ephemeral semiarid wetlands of tropical Brazil that widely spread risk.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4014
Abstract: Bet-hedging is an ecological risk-aversion strategy where a population does not commit all its effort towards a single reproductive event or specific environmental condition, and instead spreads the risk to include multiple reproductive events or… read more here.

The impact of calcium decline on population growth rates of crustacean zooplankton in Canadian Shield lakes

DOI: 10.1002/lno.10653
Abstract: Within the last decade, calcium decline has emerged as a stressor for many soft water lakes. A legacy of long-term acid deposition and logging, calcium decline has been implicated in the loss of large herbivores,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11161
Abstract: We determined the stable nitrogen isotope composition (δ15N values) and body size of taxonomic groups in a zooplankton community in the Cantabrian Sea (southern Bay of Biscay) to explore seasonal and depth (0–2000 m) variations in… read more here.

Can zooplankton on the North American Great Plains “keep up” with climate‐driven salinity change?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Limnology and Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1002/lno.11647
Abstract: The Great Plains of North America are projected to become more arid as the climate changes over the next century. Salinity levels for lakes in this region are linked to climate, suggesting that lakes will… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lol2.10047
Abstract: The idea that living organisms may contribute to turbulence and mixing in lakes and oceans (biomixing) dates to the 1960s, but has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Recent modeling and experimental studies suggest that… read more here.

Native and invasive zooplankton show differing responses to decadal‐scale increases in maximum temperatures in a large temperate river

DOI: 10.1002/lol2.10162
Abstract: It has been widely proposed that increasing global temperatures will promote the geographic spread of invasive species, yet few studies have examined the effects of increasing temperatures on existing populations of invaders. Here, we examine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lom3.10366
Abstract: Large, predatory, non‐indigenous species such as the cladoceran, Bythotrephes longimanus, can have a profound effect on aquatic food webs, but determining the prey consumed by such species is problematic because they shred prey externally and… read more here.
