Ecological Studies of Zooplankton Populations in Gulf StreamRings and the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean

这一基于成就的续约提案将继续 暖心环状浮游动物时空分析 模式并使用纵向和纵向的广泛数据库 北方磷虾类的水平分布 大西洋提供了一个综合的流域范围内的分布 个体物种和它们的群落结构。 这 研究应该提供关于浮游动物的新知识 年轮的物种结构及其随时间的演变 它 还应加强对人口动态的了解 生活在北方的一些冷水和温水物种 大西洋西部。

This Accomplishment Based Renewal Proposal is to continue the analyses of warm-core ring zooplankton spatial and temporal patterns and to use the extensive data base on the vertical and horizontal distribution of euphausiid species in the Northern Atlantic to provide a synthesis of the basin-wide distributions of individual species and their community structure. This research should provide new knowledge about the zooplankton species structure of rings and how it evolves through time. It should also enhance the understanding of the population dynamics of a number of cold and warm-water species living in the North- western Atlantic Ocean.
