Taxonomic uncertainty in North Atlantic and Mediterranean zooplankton limits species-level monitoring accuracy Open
Taxonomic discussions often permeate the broader scientific community slowly, yet they may hold more relevance than typically assumed. In many zooplankton groups, identification issues arise from cryptic species complexes, increasingly rev…

The Western Channel Observatory Automated Plankton Imaging and Classification System Open
Marine plankton are an important and diverse group of organisms that make up the lower trophic levels of the marine food web. They play several critical roles in the ocean that have direct or indirect societal benefits, including supportin…

Intraspecific differences in short- and long-term foraging strategies of reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) in the Chagos Archipelago Open
Assessing the foraging ecology of a threatened species is necessary to understand their movement behaviour and habitat use patterns, which are essential for developing effective protection strategies. Here, the foraging ecology of reef man…

Optimising sampling frequency for monitoring heterotrophic protists in a marine ecosystem Open
Heterotrophic protists are essential components of the marine ecosystem, yet they are often excluded from monitoring programmes. With limited resources, monitoring strategies need to be optimised considering both scientific knowledge and a…

Increasing nutrient stress reduces the efficiency of energy transfer through planktonic size spectra Open
Size‐spectral approaches quantify the efficiency of energy transfer through food webs, but theory and field studies disagree over how changes in temperature, nutrients, and extreme weather impact on this efficiency. We address this at two …

Microplastics alter feeding selectivity and faecal density in the copepod, Calanus helgolandicus Open
Microplastics (1 μm-5 mm) are a ubiquitous marine contaminant of global concern, ingested by a wide range of marine taxa. Copepods are a key component of marine food webs, providing a source of food for higher trophic levels, and playing a…

Video-Based Real Time Analysis of Plankton Particle Size Spectrum Open
Plankton is one of the most basic components in the marine ecosystem. The community structure and population change of plankton are the important ecological information to reflect the environmental situation. As the fundamental parameter o…

Smells good enough to eat: Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) enhances copepod ingestion of microplastics Open
Marine copepods have been shown to readily ingest microplastics - a crucial first step in the transfer of plastics into the marine food chain. Copepods have also been shown to elicit a foraging behavioural response to the presence of olfac…

Comment. What drives plankton seasonality in a stratifying shelf sea? Some competing and complementary theories Open
The Plymouth L4 time plankton series in the Western English Channel is a textbook example of a shallow, stratifying shelf sea system. Over its 30 yr of weekly sampling, this site has provided a diverse and contrasting suite of numerical an…

Seasonality of Oithona similis and Calanus helgolandicus reproduction and abundance: contrasting responses to environmental variation at a shelf site Open
The pelagic copepods Oithona similis and Calanus helgolandicus have overlapping geographic ranges, yet contrast in feeding mode, reproductive strategy, and body size. We investigate how these contrasting traits influence the seasonality of…
