First observations of predation by New Zealand Greenshell mussels (Perna canaliculus) on zooplankton

TL;DR: The decreasing clearance rates with increasing size and development of prey, suggested that prey escape ability, related to body size and/or morphology, affected capture rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying invertebrate invasions using morphological and molecular analyses: North American Daphnia 'pulex' in New Zealand fresh waters.

TL;DR: This study provides an additional example of how genetic techniques can be used for the accurate identification of non-indigenous taxa, particularly when morphological species determination is not possible, and the growth of global databases such as GenBank and Barcode of Life Datasystems will further enhance this identification capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing Bergmann’s rule in marine copepods

TL;DR: This paper conducted a near-global comparative analysis on marine copepods (97 830 samples, 388 taxa) to test Bergmann's rule, considering other potential drivers, and found that temperature better predicted size than did latitude or oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zooplankton in the Southern Ocean from the continuous plankton recorder: Distributions and long-term change

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an analysis of zooplankton distributions in the circumpolar Southern Ocean based on samples collected by the international SCAR Southern Ocean Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey (SO-CPR).
