• Ectosymbiotic behavior of Cancer gracilis and its trophic relationships with its host Phacellophora camtschatica and the parasitoid Hyperia medusarum

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 315:221-236 (2006)

  In southern Puget Sound, large numbers of megalopae and juveniles of the brachyuran crab Cancer gracilis and the hyperiid amphipod Hyperia medusarum were found riding the scyphozoan Phacellophora…

• Vertical flux and degradation rates of copepod fecal pellets in a zooplankton community dominated by small copepods

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 323:195-204 (2006)

  Sediment trap studies have revealed that copepod fecal pellets can be degraded at high rates in the sea, and copepods, particularly of the order Cyclopoida, have been implicated as the main degraders…

  Keywords: Vertical flux, Fecal pellet, Degradation rate, Copepod, North Sea

• Interannual abundance, distribution, and carbon production rates of larvaceans in the NE Gulf of Mexico using the SIPPER imaging system

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser

  Gelatinous zooplankton play important roles in oceanic biogeochemical cycles but are under-represented due to the difficulty in sampling and identification. Specifically, Appendicularians or…

• Coupling of ingestion and defecation as a function of diet in the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 229:151-164 (2002)

  The relationship between the rates of ingestion and defecation of the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa was examined in laboratory experiments with different diets: the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii ,…

• Effects of diet on dimensions, density and sinking rates of fecal pellets of the copepod Acartia tonsa

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 175:87-96 (1998)

  The effects of food type and concentration on fecal pellet characteristics of the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa were examined in the laboratory. Copepods were fed several autotrophic and…

• Grazing, egg production, and biochemical evidence of differences in the life strategies of Calanus finmarchicus, C. glacialis and C. hyperboreus in Disko Bay, western Greenland

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 429:125-144 (2011)

  This is the first high temporal-resolution study in Disko Bay covering population dynamics, grazing, reproduction, and biochemical composition of 3 dominating copepod species ( Calanus finmarchicus ,…
