Significance Seawater elemental composition, namely Mg:Ca and Sr:Ca ratios are widely used in marine sciences. Our new single-laboratory global dataset, combined with past data of seawater ratios, suggests that modern ocean variability is significant across different environments, being similar to the changes during Neogene Period (20 Ma). Because there large we cannot assume secular derived from fossilized taxa varied ecological niches diverse ecosystems provide an unbiased representation...
Danshuei River in the northwestern tip of Taiwan discharges into boundary coastal waters between East China Sea and Strait. We conducted a 5-year study October 1998 September 2003 to assess influence northeast (NE) southwest (SW) monsoons on copepod assemblages area. A total 110 species were identified. Temora turbinata, Paracalanus aculeatus, Acrocalanus gibber, Parvocalanus crassirostris Oithona rigida comprised 80% that consisted from associated with Kuroshio Branch Current. The effect NE...
Taiwan waters are oceanographically complex, being characterized by different water masses in the East China Sea, South Pacific Ocean and Strait, which form contiguous but distinct ecosystems. These ecosystems interact one with another through complex strong circulations. The present work investigates relatively few studied interactions between local copepod communities heterogeneous hydrodynamical regimes. Gathering data from 53 cruises carried out since June 1998 to October 2004 all around...
The rising demand of ecosystem services, due to the increasing human population in coastal areas, and subsequent need secure healthy sustainable seas constitute a major challenge for marine ecosystems management. In addition, global anthropogenic changes have transformed realm, thereby challenging health services necessary welfare. These opened ecological space opportunistic organisms, such as jellyfish, resulting ecosystem-wide economic implications that threaten services. Here, we used...

Retrieval by different mesh-sized plankton nets is compared, using the abundance and distribution patterns of cyclopoid copepods genus Oithona W. Baird, 1843 as a case study. Mesozooplankton was sampled during spring, summer, autumn 2000-2002 in South China Sea. Plankton samples were collected surface tows (5-0 m) oblique three depth layers (0-50 m, 0-100 0-150 m), with Norpac zooplankton 333 100 mu m mesh size. The oithonid density diversity through about one order magnitude higher than...
The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) causes mass mortalities in the aquaculture of shrimps worldwide. mud shrimp Austinogebia edulis (Ngoc-Ho & Chan, 1992) is an economically important sea food item occurring along west coast Taiwan. While population A. began to decrease with some fluctuations last decade, current study aims discover for such sporadic decline. This explores effects microbial pathogens and innate immunity on populations edulis. Here, we report firstly about WSSV infection...
The nuclear power plants are very important and cheap electric source for Taiwan. However, the Nuclear Power Plant I II (NPP II) located in northern Taiwan where most populations inhabit. Therefore, impact of operation on surrounding environment, particularly waters, has drawn great attention to public Here we reported first analyses a three-year period monitoring copepod assemblages adjacent waters NPP II. vicinity were studied from November 2000 December 2003, included total 13 seasonal...
Predator-induced control of pests depends on the predator’s preference for target pest over naturally co-occurring prey species. We compared larvivorous efficiency three common freshwater predators: mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis; Baird and Girard, 1854), dragonfly naiads (Zyxomma petiolatum; Rambur, 1842) copepods (Mesocyclops aspericornis; Daday, 1906) different instars relative abundances mosquito Anopheles stephensi (Liston, 1901) in presence alternative cladoceran prey, either Moina...
