• Ecological constraints on planktonic nitrogen fixation in saline estuaries. I. Nutrient and trophic controls

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 309:25-39 (2006)

  Heterocystous, planktonic cyanobacteria capable of fixing atmospheric N 2 into available nitrogen (N) are common and critically important to nutrient cycling in many lakes, yet they are rarely…

  Keywords: Nitrogen fixation, Heterocystous cyanobacteria, Estuaries, Nitrogen limitation, Nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry, Zooplankton grazing, Mesocosms

• Growth of planktivorous bay anchovy Anchoa mitchilli, top-down control, and scale-dependence in estuarine mesocosms

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 308:255-269 (2006)

  Growth of the zooplanktivorous bay anchovy Anchoa mitchilli and its potential to control plankton communities were investigated in estuarine mesocosms. The effects of mesocosm dimensions (size and…

• Using model systems to address the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning process

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 311:295-309 (2006)

  Declines in biodiversity resulting from anthropogenic disturbance to ecosystems have focused attention on the role of biodiversity in ecosystem functioning. However, the high level of complexity of…

• Plankton development and trophic transfer in seawater enclosures with nutrients and Phaeocystis pouchetii added

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 321:99-121 (2006)

  In high latitude planktonic ecosystems where the prymnesiophyte alga Phaeocystis pouchetii is often the dominant primary producer, its importance in structuring planktonic food webs is well known. In…

• Effects of turbulence on TEP dynamics under contrasting nutrient conditions: implications for aggregation and sedimentation processes

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 323:47-57 (2006)

  The effect of different small-scale turbulence intensities on transparent exopolymeric particle (TEP) dynamics was studied in natural North Sea coastal waters. The abundance, volume, size spectra and…

• Stimulation of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria in a Baltic Sea plankton community by land-derived organic matter or iron addition

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 327:71-82 (2006)

  In the Baltic Sea, floating blooms of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria occur yearly during late summer. These blooms can sometimes be limited by iron. Due to extensive foresting around the Baltic Sea,…

• Warming simplifies marine ecological networks through losses in trophic and non-trophic interactions

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 782:meps15092 (2026)

  Ocean warming is anticipated to push many marine species beyond their physiological limits, leading to shifts in community composition and ecological interactions. Coastal upwelling can provide…

• Interaction effects of N:P ratios and frequency of nutrient supply on the plankton community in the northern Baltic Sea

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 332:77-92 (2007)

  An experiment was carried out in brackish seawater mesocosms to investigate the impacts of different N:P ratios and frequency of nutrient supply on phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in the…

• Spat origin does not affect phenotypic plasticity in the farmed mussel Mytilus chilensis facing experimental acidification

  Aquacult Environ Interact

  Phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to cope with environmental variability, yet its role in sustaining aquaculture systems in the face of global change stressors remains poorly understood. We…
