Optical plankton analyser: A flow cytometer for plankton analysis, I: Design considerations

Analysis of Plankton Populations

I use numerical and analytical techniques to study the dynamics of various models of plankton food webs with and without resource fluctuations. Plankton are ideal organisms because they are very small, fast-reproducing organisms so they can easily be used in laboratory experiments to verify any results. We can study simple food webs to develop a better understanding of more complex food webs. T...

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF A PLANKTON SYSTEM WITH DELAY

This paper is evolved to have insight of Plankton-Nutrients interactions in the presence of delay in the growth term of phytoplankton species .The conditions for asymptotic stability about endemic equilibrium are derived in the absence of delay.The Nyquist criteria is used to estimate the length of delay to preserve stability .Analytic criterion for the existence of hopf-bifurcation is also dis...

Observations on the Fatty Constituents of Marine Plankton I. Biology of the Plankton

Plankton cooled a greenhouse

experiments are lucky — a megalomaniac climatologist can only dream of putting an Earth-like planet in a giant test tube, pumping billions of tonnes of CO2 into its atmosphere, and registering the effects on life and climate. Fortunately, there are other approaches. At the Palaeocene/Eocene (P/E) boundary 55 million years ago, nature appears to have done the greenhouse experiment for us. Bains ...
