| [analysis on community structure of zooplankton in zhoushan fishing ground and its adjacent area in summer]. | based on the data acquired within the zhoushan fishing ground and its adjacent area (29 degrees 30' - 31 degrees 30' n, 121 degrees 30' - 124 degrees 30' e), species composition, abundance, and species diversity of zooplankton were sampled by plankton net (50 cm mouth-diameter, 145 cm net length, 0.505 mm mesh-aperture) during august 2006. the results identified 93 species (exclude larvae) from the samples, among which copepods were the most diverse with 50 species. according to the standard of ... | 2010 | 20446461 |
| microbial diversity associated with copepods in the north atlantic subtropical gyre. | patchiness of marine microbial communities has an important influence on microbial activities in the ocean, particularly in the oligotrophic open ocean where bioavailable nutrients are otherwise scarce. such spatial heterogeneity is present in associations with dead and living particles, including zooplankton. the microbial community composition of mesozooplankton was investigated from the sargasso sea using 16s rrna amplicon pyrosequencing. zooplankton microbiomes were studied on the copepods u ... | 2015 | 26077986 |
| polarization contrast of zooplankton: a model for polarization-based sighting distance. | transparency is commonly used by zooplankton for camouflage in open waters. polarization vision allows planktivorous animals to increase their prey's detectability. polarization properties of zooplankton were analyzed by measuring changes in the transmitted light. the transmitted light was subjected to depolarization and phase retardance, resulting in a species-specific polarization contrast between animal and background; from 5% in corycaeus sp. to 92% in undinula vulgaris (copepoda). this cont ... | 2006 | 16023168 |
