Satellite chlorophyll a (Chl) is an essential parameter for large-scale studies on changes in
the marine ecosystem and biogeochemistry. However, in the eastern China seas (ECSs) …

To assess the impact of arctic climate change on environmental condition and pelagic
biodiversity, spatial variations in ciliated microzooplankton communities were studied at 32 …

Dynamics of picophytoplankton population distribution in the East China Sea (ECS), a
marginal sea in the western North Pacific Ocean, were studied during two cruises in August …

Marine planktonic ciliates are important components of microzooplankton. Depending on the
presence or absence of lorica, planktonic ciliates can be divided into tintinnids and aloricate …

Tintinnid are important microzooplankton in marine pelagic habitats. In the temperate shelf
area, tintinnid could be divided into neritic, warm-water and cosmopolitan biogeographical …

We examined microzooplankton abundance, community structure, and grazing impact on
phytoplankton in the Amundsen Sea, Western Antarctica, during the early austral summer …

To investigate the temporal–spatial distribution of picophytoplankton in relation to different
water masses in the northern East China Sea (ECS), picophytoplankton abundance and …

The vertical distribution and structure of pelagic ciliate communities were investigated at 32
stations (western Arctic Ocean) in a summer sea-ice reduction region from August 1 to …

The latitudinal dynamics of biodiversity has been the focus of global attention. This study is
based on the latitude gradient of biodiversity in the spatial changes of pelagic ciliate …

Seasonal variations in hydrographic conditions, nutrients, and microplankton abundance
and biomass were investigated inside and outside Kagoshima Bay in the northern Satsunan …
