项目摘要

Global climate change and associated extreme weather events are increasingly impacting marine communities at all trophic levels and leading to shifts in the timing of life history events. This project is investigating the annual restart of the spring zooplankton community in the Gulf of Alaska in order to determine the timing of species-specific recruitment and growth. Zooplankton are small pelagic animals that are a critical link between microalgae and protozoans and higher levels in the food web including economically important fishes, birds and marine mammals. While their abundances and species composition have been documented over part of the annual cycle between late spring and fall, this project focuses on winter and early spring. The project integrates traditional methods with modern molecular approaches to characterize the diversity, development, feeding and physiology of zooplankton, especially the early developmental stages of copepods (small crustaceans). The goal is to determine which species are there, how many are present and where they are in the water column, and to reveal indicators of their health. Broader impacts include research training for three graduate students and at least four undergraduates in biological oceanography and physiological ecology. Outreach activities are focusing on broadening the public’s understanding of plankton ecology. An illustrated zooplankton guide for the Gulf of Alaska and plankton module for school teachers and students is being produced in collaboration with the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies. Other plans include sponsorship of nature-drawing workshops on zooplankton and the production of an Art & Science traveling exhibit. This project is tracking zooplankton population abundances, species composition and developmental stages through the spring restart in a high-latitude fjord in the northern Gulf of Alaska. While the entire zooplankton community is being characterized, the main focus is on the difficult-to-assess early developmental stages of copepods, which dominate the late spring biomass in the region. Three central hypotheses guide the research: 1) high abundances of copepod nauplii are present before any measurable increases in food in surface waters; 2) species diversity increases between winter and spring, with nauplii from large lipid-rich capital-breeding species appearing first, followed by those from income- and hybrid-strategy species and finally nauplii that emerge from dormant eggs; 3) prior to the appearance of food resources, nauplii from capital-breeding species conserve resources by delaying development and entering a state of dormancy in the second and third naupliar stages. The project entails intensive depth-stratified field sampling to characterize the wild community, in combination with laboratory experiments on nauplii to determine their responsiveness to food. The prey are being characterized by measuring chlorophyll a, dietary and prey community DNA sequencing and flow cytometry to establish diversity and abundances. Size-fractionated zooplankton samples are being analyzed using microscopy and community DNA sequencing to ascertain species diversity, developmental stage distribution and abundances. Feeding activity is being measured using dietary DNA sequencing of nauplii followed by comparisons with the prey field. Dormancy in nauplii is being determined by differential gene expression of target genes (RT-qPCR) and high-throughput sequencing of mRNA of individuals (transcriptomics) and community samples (meta-transcriptomics). Short-term and long-term effects of food availability on dormancy, development and growth are being quantified in laboratory experiments. Broader impacts are focused on training of students in interdisciplinary research and state-of-art techniques, and public outreach to introduce plankton ecology to broader audiences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
全球气候变化和相关的极端天气事件正日益影响所有营养级别的海洋群落,并导致生命史事件发生时间的变化。这个项目正在调查阿拉斯加湾每年春季浮游动物群落的重新启动,以确定特定物种的招募和生长的时间。浮游动物是一种小型的远洋动物,它们是微藻和原生动物之间的关键纽带,也是食物网中更高层次的生物,包括具有重要经济意义的鱼类、鸟类和海洋哺乳动物。虽然它们的丰度和物种组成已经在春末和秋季之间的部分年度周期中被记录下来,但该项目侧重于冬季和早春。该项目将传统方法与现代分子方法相结合,研究浮游动物的多样性、发育、摄食和生理特征,特别是桡足类动物(小型甲壳类动物)的早期发育阶段。目的是确定哪些物种在那里,有多少,它们在水柱中的位置,并揭示它们的健康指标。更广泛的影响包括对三名研究生和至少四名本科生进行生物海洋学和生理生态学的研究培训。外展活动的重点是扩大公众对浮游生物生态学的认识。目前正在与阿拉斯加海岸研究中心合作,为阿拉斯加湾制作一份配有插图的浮游动物指南,并为学校教师和学生制作浮游生物模块。其他计划还包括赞助浮游动物自然绘画工作坊,以及举办艺术与科学巡回展览。该项目在阿拉斯加湾北部的高纬度峡湾跟踪浮游动物种群丰度,物种组成和发育阶段,通过春季重新开始。虽然整个浮游动物群落的特征正在被描述,但主要的重点是难以评估的桡足类动物的早期发育阶段,它们在该地区的晚春生物量中占主导地位。三个中心假设指导了这项研究:1)在地表水中任何可测量的食物增加之前,就存在高丰度的桡足动物;2)物种多样性在冬春季节增加,首先出现的是富含脂质的大型资本繁殖物种的nauplii,其次是收入策略和杂交策略物种的nauplii,最后是休眠卵产生的nauplii;(3)在食物资源出现之前,资本育种物种的幼体在第二和第三幼体阶段通过延迟发育和进入休眠状态来保存资源。该项目需要密集的深度分层实地取样,以确定野生群落的特征,并结合对nauplii的实验室实验,以确定它们对食物的反应。通过测量叶绿素a、饮食和猎物群落DNA测序和流式细胞术来确定猎物的多样性和丰度。利用显微镜和群落DNA测序技术对浮游动物样本进行大小分级分析,以确定物种多样性、发育阶段分布和丰度。摄食活动是通过对nauplii的膳食DNA测序来测量的,然后与猎物进行比较。nauplii的休眠是通过靶基因的差异基因表达(RT-qPCR)和个体(转录组学)和群落样本(元转录组学)的mRNA高通量测序来确定的。食物供应对休眠、发育和生长的短期和长期影响正在实验室实验中量化。更广泛的影响集中在培训学生进行跨学科研究和最新技术,以及向更广泛的受众介绍浮游生物生态学的公共宣传。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
