Functional trait and functional diversity indices reflect the variations of community structure
and indicate their responses to environmental stress. In this study, based on four functional …

Changes in zooplankton community and distribution have significant influences on fishery
resources due to their vital role in the marine food web. Seasonal variations in zooplankton …

Zooplankton play key top-down and bottom-up regulatory roles in aquatic food webs, and
are also ecologically indicative in marine ecosystems. However, there are relatively limited …

Mesozooplankton is a key component of the ocean, regulating global processes such as the
carbon pump, and ensuring energy transfer from lower to higher trophic levels. Yet …

Inter-annual and seasonal variations in zooplankton community structure in the Yellow Sea,
China were studied in relation to climatic events and local environment from 2014 to 2018 …

The zooplankton composition, abundance, community structure, and diversity in the Yellow
Sea and East China Sea, major wintering grounds of many fishery species, were studied …

Introduction The coastal ecosystem is a hub of both marine organisms and human activities.
It plays a crucial role in human food production and affects facilities through biofouling. Long …

This work presents the results of two oceanographic surveys conducted off NW Iberia during
successive summer upwelling seasons, aiming at the identification of the physical processes …

Long-term monitoring of zooplankton assemblages provides essential knowledge to assess
key factors impacting marine ecosystems. Despite the importance of this type of data …

To determine the factors controlling variations in the biomass (B), abundance (A), and mean
individual biomass (B/A) of mesozooplankton in a subtropical eutrophic bay, a random forest …
