Zooplankton are major consumers of phytoplankton primary production in marine
ecosystems. As such, they represent a critical link for energy and matter transfer between …

Marine zooplankton are central components of holistic ecosystem assessments due to their
intermediary role in the food chain, linking the base of the food chain with higher trophic …

Abstract The Northeast Atlantic, a highly productive maritime area, has been exposed to a
wide range of direct human pressures, such as fishing, shipping, coastal development …

Automatic recognition of in situ marine plankton images has long been treated as an image
classification problem in machine learning. However, the deep learning-based classifiers …

Sixteen years (2005–2020) of zooplankton monitoring in the Bay of Marseille (NW
Mediterranean Sea) are analyzed in relation to physical, meteorological, climatic and biotic …

Zooplankton are fundamental to aquatic ecosystem services such as carbon and nutrient
cycling. Therefore, a robust evidence base of how zooplankton respond to changes in …

Abstract Changes in plankton composition influences the dynamics of marine food webs and
carbon sinking rates. Understanding the core structure and function of the plankton …

Copepods are a dominant component of mesozooplankton communities and are
unambiguously important in marine food webs. Climate change and rising sea surface …

Abstract The Plankton Imager (PI) is an underway semi-automated, high-speed imaging
instrument, which takes images of all passing particles and classifies the mesozooplankton …

Zooplankton size is a crucial indicator in marine ecosystems, reflecting demographic
structure, species diversity and trophic status. Traditional methods for measuring …
