U.S. GLOBEC: Modeling Biological/Physical Processes Controlling Copepod Abundance in the Georges Bank/Gulf of Maine Region

9634166林奇作为美国GLOBEC西北大西洋野外研究第二阶段计划的一部分，一项模拟工作将调查物理过程如何与种群动态相互作用，以控制乔治斯银行/缅因湾地区主要桡足类物种(Calanus finmarchicus、Pseudocalanus newmani和P.moltoni、Centroages ypicus和Centroages hamatus)的分布。这项研究将提供：1)对中上层生态系统一个中上层组成部分的功能的新见解，2)关于幼鱼捕食场动态的新信息，以及3)关于气候变化对温带大陆架地区物种分布的潜在影响的基本数据。***

9634166 LYNCH As part of the U.S. GLOBEC Northwest Atlantic Field Studies Phase 2 program, a modeling effort will investigate how physical processes interact with population dynamics to control the distributions of dominant copepod species (Calanus finmarchicus, Pseudocalanus newmani and P. moultoni, Centropages typicus, and Centropages hamatus) in the Georges Bank/Gulf of Maine region. The study will provide: 1) new insights into the functioning of a mesopelagic component of a pelagic ecosystem, 2) novel information on the dynamics of the prey field of larval fish, and 3) basic data on the potential effects that climate change can exert on species distributions in temperate shelf areas. ***
