Shifts in thermal regimes that result in increased local densities of hosts, especially intermediate ones such as planktonic or benthic invertebrates, are also very likely to increase parasite species diversity [19]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Most of the phenotypic characteristics of animals and plants on Earth are related to the force of gravity, while most of the characteristics of the planktonic life in Water are generally indifferent to the pull of gravity. ❋ Unknown (2009)

He has a special interest in planktonic ciliates, especially tintinnids which display an amazing variety of forms. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Increased UV radiation may affect fisheries through changes in planktonic food webs, but these changes are difficult to predict because they involve long-term alterations in species adaptation and community structure. ❋ Unknown (2010)
