Copepods and brine shrimp, which represent different species of zooplankton with similar inertial time constant, can behave very differently when subjected to velocity gradients in unsteady or turbulent flows. Upon sensing hydrodynamic disturbances, copepods can respond with rapid acceleration and high speed. Brine shrimp, on the other hand are more passive and capable of only small relative sw...

The present long-term (1993–2013) study was aimed at identifying the effects of global change on environmental characteristics and plankton community tropical, high-altitude Lake Alchichica, Puebla, Mexico. We found no statistically significant increasing trend in air temperature, but an increase from 2002 to 2013, interannual variability meteorological variables. Accordingly, water temperature...

In the present study, total thirty planktonic members from four sampling sites of selected research area in which, twelve phytoplanktons and eighteen zooplanktons each under different groups namely (Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae) (Protozoans, Rotiferans, Cladocerans, Copepods) were recorded respectively. Among all phytoplanktonic groups, Chlorophyceae was domina...

Marine copepods are central to the productivity and biogeochemistry of marine ecosystems. Nevertheless, the direct and indirect effects of climate change on their metabolic functioning remain poorly understood. Here, we use metabolomics, the unbiased study of multiple low molecular weight organic metabolites, to examine how the physiology of Calanus spp. is affected by end-of-century global war...
