The demography of Calanus finmarchicus (Copepoda: Calanoida) in the Middle Atlantic Bight, USA, 1977–2001

Genomic approaches to detecting thermal stress in Calanus finmarchicus (Copepoda: Calanoida)

Zooplankton may be subjected to physiological stress as they encounter rapid and large changes in temperature through vertical migration or transfer into different water masses. Induction of one or more heat shock proteins (hsp) is a common protective response to thermal stress in organisms. We looked for evidence for such a response in Calanus finmarchicus. We compared hsp70 expression in cope...

De Novo Assembly of a Transcriptome for Calanus finmarchicus (Crustacea, Copepoda) – The Dominant Zooplankter of the North Atlantic Ocean

Assessing the impact of global warming on the food web of the North Atlantic will require difficult-to-obtain physiological data on a key copepod crustacean, Calanus finmarchicus. The de novo transcriptome presented here represents a new resource for acquiring such data. It was produced from multiplexed gene libraries using RNA collected from six developmental stages: embryo, early nauplius (NI...

High dispersal potential has maintained long-term population stability in the North Atlantic copepod Calanus finmarchicus.

The cool-water copepod Calanus finmarchicus is a key species in North Atlantic marine ecosystems since it represents an important food resource for the developmental stages of several fish of major economic value. Over the last 40 years, however, data from the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey have highlighted a 70 per cent reduction in C. finmarchicus biomass, coupled with a gradual northwar...
