Zooplankton molecular analyses allow for accurate species identification with a proper molecular signature, complementing classic phenotypic-based taxonomy (α taxonomy). For the first time in the Mediterranean Sea, cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene sequences

The distribution and reproductive traits of copepods of the genus Clausocalanus were investigated during the Atlantic Meridional Transect cruise AMT-15, in September–October 2004 to estimate their ecological niches and secondary production in the epipelagic

The North Pacific Ocean subtropical–subarctic gyre transition region is recognized as an important small pelagic fish nursery and feeding ground. To clarify the lower trophic level variability of the transition region pelagic ecosystem, we investigated

Abundance and species composition of copepods were studied during the expedition ANT XXI/1 on a latitudinal transect in the eastern Atlantic from 34°49.5′N to 27°28.1′S between 2–20 November 2002. Stratified zooplankton tows were carried out at 19 stations
