New paper by Ella von Weissenberg et al., published in Frontiers in Marine Science. Ella and co-authors show that the large copepod Limnocalanus macrurus has a wide ability to shift its diet depending on prevailing conditions. But hypoxia, elevated seawater temperatures and low quality food due to algae blooms could risk its condition and well-being in the Baltic Sea, being an important food source for Baltic herring and other planktivores.
