متن کاملIncreased blooms of a dinoflagellate in the NW Atlantic
Sampling by the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) over the NW Atlantic from 1960 to 2000 has enabled long-term studies of the larger components of the phytoplankton community, highlighting various changes, particularly during the 1990s. Analysis of an index of phytoplankton biomass, the Phytoplankton Colour Index (PCI) has revealed an increase over the past decade, most marked during the winte...
متن کاملLarge-scale study of Calanus in the North Atlantic Ocean: macroecological patterns and potential impacts
Centropages typims is a temperate neritic-coastal species of the North Atlantic Oceans, generally found between thelatitudes of the Mediterranean and the Norwegian Sea. Therefore, the species experiences a large number of environmentsand adjusts its life cycle in response to changes in key abiotic pa rameters such as temperature. Using data from the Con-tinuous Plankton Recorder (CP...
متن کاملBiologging, Remotely-Sensed Oceanography and the Continuous Plankton Recorder Reveal the Environmental Determinants of a Seabird Wintering Hotspot
Marine environments are greatly affected by climate change, and understanding how this perturbation affects marine vertebrates is a major issue. In this context, it is essential to identify the environmental drivers of animal distribution. Here, we focused on the little auk (Alle alle), one of the world's most numerous seabirds and a major component in Arctic food webs. Using a multidisciplinar...
متن کاملUnderstanding Long-Term Changes in Species Abundance Using a Niche-Based Approach
One of the major challenges to understanding population changes in ecology for assessment purposes is the difficulty in evaluating the suitability of an area for a given species. Here we used a new simple approach able to faithfully predict through time the abundance of two key zooplanktonic species by focusing on the relationship between the species' environmental preferences and their observe...
