The Copepod Page

I've got to be a little selfish and list my project site first.

Distribution of Eurytemora americana (Crustacea, Copepoda) in a temperate, tidally influenced estuary.

Here's a few pages that I've seen at least somewhat worthwhile with respect to copepods. Please let me know of any others out there.

Introductory Stuff

• Copepod diversity from the Natural History Museum in the UK
• SIO Planktonic Invertebrate Collection
• Copepods make it into the marketing side of things within Bio-Sphere, a self-contained ecosystem for the desktop.
• Groundwater Copepods from Italy
• University of Georgia Museum of Natural History
• The Plankton Netfrom the University of Guelph. AN EXELLENT WEB PAGE!!!
• Plankton Home Page - U. Tokyo

Sensory Systems

• Zooplankton Sensory Systems and Sensory Systems of Copepods with links to publications on the subject.
• Sensory Ecology and Physiology of Zooplankton Symposium
• A list of those researching or interested in Zooplankton Sensory Systems

Projects That I Found Interesting

• A page with very interesting results for me, as I am interested in the evasion of Eurytemora spp. from pump systems: MEERC Progress Report with The Plankton-Benthic Ecosystem Experiment (See section II,C,4)
• U.S. GLOBEC: Phytoplankton and Protozoa in the Diets of Copepods on Georges Bank
• Population dynamics of the benthic harpacticoid copepod Tisbe holothuriae as a function of spatial and temporal food variability. By Fredrik Nilsson.
• Estimation of zooplankton and ichthyoplankton growth and condition using nucleic acid probe techniques. By Lawrence Buckley and Peter McNamara.

People Involved With Copepods

• Dr. Susan S. Bell is working with meiobenthic copepods.
• Dr. Bruce C. Coull at the USC Meiofauna Laboratory featuring the Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Copepods.

Organizations

• Monoculus WWW Site The International Copepod Newsletter featuring The 6th International Conference on Copepoda.
• The Crustacean Society with Crustacean and Related Resources on the Internet.
• The Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science took over the Continual Plankton Recorder Survey.
