Abstract Ocean warming and acidification, decreases in dissolved oxygen concentrations, changes primary production are causing an unprecedented global redistribution of marine life. The identification underlying ecological processes underpinning species turnover, particularly the prevalence increases warm-water or declines cold-water species, has been recently debated context ocean warming. Here, we track mean thermal affinity communities across European seas by calculating Community...
Size-fractionated chlorophyll a (chl a) biomass and primary production rate (>3 pm, 1-3 pm < l pm) picophytoplankton abundance (both prokaryotic eukaryotic) were investigated in Southampton Water (south coast of England), with routine sampling at 2 stations, representative conditions the mid outer estuary.In estuary cycle chl >3 size fraction was characterized by small spring peak more intense summer peak.In maximum occurred spring; phytoplankton this may have been nutrient limited...
Variations in mesozooplankton abundance and community structure response to water quality improvement variations hydro-climatic conditions were studied the inner estuary of Bilbao from 1998 2011. A process recolonization was observed with a marked increase copepod smaller abundances appendicularians, meroplanktonic bivalves gastropods, at expense decrease groups gelatinous predators. Within copepods, an initial phase this occurred through neritic copepods. However, second phase,...

The rapid warming of the wolrd’s oceans during last few decades has affected distributional patterns marine planktonic communities. Here, we analyse links between sea and changes in copepod community composition over 3 (1980−2012). We used zooplankton time-series data which included 79 species copepods collected at sites eastern North Atlantic (Bay Biscay Kattegat Sea) Mediterranean Sea (Gulf Saronikos). First, using β-diversity metrics, analysed temporal time its relation to local...
Slope Water anticyclonic Oceanic eDDIES (SWODDIES) are typical mesoscale features of open-ocean waters the southern Bay Biscay which usually develop in winter by shedding from seasonal poleward current flowing along northern Spanish slope. These eddies have been intensively studied physical perspective. However, their effect on distribution biological properties and functioning pelagic ecosystem has not assessed so far. To this aim, a sea-truth, multidisciplinary comprehensive study SWODDY...
Zooplankton abundance series (1999–2013) from the coastal sites of Bilbao 35 (B35), Urdaibai (U35), Plymouth L4 (L4) and Stonehaven (SH), in Northeast Atlantic were compared to assess differences magnitude seasonal, interannual residual scales variability, patterns seasonal variation relation latitudinal location trophic status. Results showed highest variability at SH consistent with its northernmost location, U35 associated an atypical event identified 2012 Bay Biscay, B35 likely related...
The introduction of NIS to estuaries and coastal embayment is great concern. Commercial ships’ ballast water discharge the northwards progression species due ongoing climate change arise as main factors explaining rising occurrence in Northern Atlantic waters. In this regard, regular monitoring plankton communities paramount be able respond properly potential issue. While invasive copepod Acartia tonsa populations Bilbao Urdaibai (Basque country, Spain), we report here Asian Pseudodiaptomus...

The relationships between chlorophyll a concentration and environmental (climatic associated hydrographical) factors were investigated in the estuary of Urdaibai (Bay Biscay) different salinity zones euhaline region, using time-series for period 1997–2006. Transfer function (TF) models used on quarterly data (3 month mean values) to establish possible time-series. In non-nutrient limited waters with salinities 30 33 PSU, chain effects from North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) was established,...
