A new study has revealed that small but mighty zooplankton—including copepods, krill, and salps—are key players in the Southern Ocean's ability to absorb and store carbon.
Zooplankton like copepods aren’t just fish food—they’re carbon-hauling powerhouses. By diving deep into the ocean each winter, they’re secretly stashing 65 million tonnes of carbon far ...
By the middle of the last century, economic forces had shut down many of the Blackstone Valley’s mills. But it wasn’t until passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972 that the river started to ...
They snack on isopods, amphipods, copepods, and bristle worms, all of which they happily swallow whole. Finding Love in the Abyss Scientists think Dumbo octopuses live three to five years.
