Zooplankton community composition and size distribution in relation to phytoplankton in the Galapagos Islands
(2006-03)Understanding the properties of zooplankton and their ecosystems is vital to fixing potential problems that may occur in the ecosystems. Over the years, iron fertilization has been thought to be the key to stop global ... -
Zooplankton community structure in response to turbulent flow over a sill in Nootka Sound
(2015-06)[author abstract] Zooplankton behaviors have been well studied, and their movement in the water column can be activated by a number of reasons. They may migrate or maintain position in preferred light levels, avoid predation ... -
Zooplankton diel vertical migration and distribution relative to Cross Seamount using 75 kHz acoustic and net tow surveys
(2011-03)This project attempts to quantify and explain differences in zooplankton distribution and abundance on the top and sides of Cross Seamount, Hawaii. Zooplankton were collected with nets at different depths during both day ... -
Zooplankton distributions relative to a shallow hydrothermal plume
(2010-01-12)This study used acoustic backscattering to locate zooplankton within the water column above and near the shallow seamount, Rumble III. Cofirmed was the earlier finding that zooplankton gather above the plume, but not in ... -
Zooplankton diversity, abundance, and species composition across an oxygen gradient in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific
(2012-06)[Author's Abstract] Dissolved oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration, and therefore can influence zooplankton communities. I examined how an oxygen gradient in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific impacted zooplankton ... -
Zooplankton fecal pellets as a vector transporting microplastics and associated toxins to the deep ocean
(2022)Toxins within the fecal pellets of zooplankton were measured along a transect from Hawaii to San Diego, passing through the southern edge of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Zooplankton were collected via a vertical net ... -
Zooplankton retention in Muchalat Inlet, a fjord basin in Nootka Sound, BC
(2016-06)[author abstract] The distribution of zooplankton populations in response to tidal forcing was studied at Williamson Sill in Muchalat inlet of Nootka Sound, British Columbia, Canada in December 2015. Net tows were taken ...
