    Description: Zooplankton plays a notable role in ocean biogeochemical cycles. However, it is often simulated as one generic group and top closure term in ocean biogeochemical models. This study presents the description of three zooplankton functional types (zPFTs, micro‐, meso‐ and macrozooplankton) in the ocean biogeochemical model FESOM‐REcoM. In the presented model, microzooplankton is a fast‐growing herbivore group, mesozooplankton is another major consumer of phytoplankton, and macrozooplankton is a slow‐growing group with a low temperature optimum. Meso‐ and macrozooplankton produce fast‐sinking fecal pellets. With three zPFTs, the annual mean zooplankton biomass increases threefold to 210 Tg C. The new food web structure leads to a 25% increase in net primary production and a 10% decrease in export production globally. Consequently, the export ratio decreases from 17% to 12% in the model. The description of three zPFTs reduces model mismatches with observed dissolved inorganic nitrogen and chlorophyll concentrations in the South Pacific and the Arctic Ocean, respectively. Representation of three zPFTs also strongly affects phytoplankton phenology: Fast nutrient recycling by zooplankton sustains higher chlorophyll concentrations in summer and autumn. Additional zooplankton grazing delays the start of the phytoplankton bloom by 3 weeks and controls the magnitude of the bloom peak in the Southern Ocean. As a result, the system switches from a light‐controlled Sverdrup system to a dilution‐controlled Behrenfeld system. Overall, the results suggest that representation of multiple zPFTs is important to capture underlying processes that may shape the response of ecosystems and ecosystem services to on‐going and future environmental change in model projections.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Zooplankton plays an important role in the ocean food web and biogeochemical cycles. However, it is often represented in very simple forms in mathematical models that are, for example, used to investigate how marine primary productivity will react to climate change. To understand how these models would change when more complicated formulations for zooplankton are used, we present here a new version of the model with three (instead of only one) zooplankton groups. We find that this more complicated representation leads to higher zooplankton biomass, which is closer to observations, and this stimulates growth of phytoplankton since zooplankton also returns nutrients into the system. In addition, zooplankton grazing controls the seasonal cycle of phytoplankton, as we show for one example in the Southern Ocean.
    Description: Key Points: Nutrient recycling by zooplankton stimulates net primary production in the biogeochemical model REcoM‐2. Modeling zooplankton functional types (zPFTs) leads to a switch from a light‐controlled Sverdrup system to a dilution‐controlled Behrenfeld system. Implementing multiple zPFTs improves the modeled zooplankton biomass and zooplankton‐mediated biogeochemical fluxes.

    Description: Copepod samples were taken during the Antarctic expedition PS 79 (ANT XXVIII/2) with RV Polarstern (Cape Town – Cape Town, 3 Dec 2011 – 5 Jan 2012). Copepods were collected at Station 53 (60° 3.22'S, 0° 2.14' E) in the Antarctic Weddell Gyre on 28 December 2011 by vertical bongo net hauls down to 300 m depth. Specimens of C. acutus (210 copepodids CV and 160 females) and of C. propinquus (125 females, no CV stages available) were gently sorted from the catch, maintained alive in filtered seawater at 0°C in a cooling container on board and transported to Germany at 0°C by airplane. Feeding carbon-labelled diatoms to these copepods during 9 days of feeding ,13C elucidated assimilation and turnover rates of copepod total lipids as well as specific fatty acids and alcohols. The 13C incorporation into these compounds was monitored by compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA). The differences in lipid assimilation and turnover clearly show that the copepod species exhibit a high variability and plasticity to adapt their lipid production to their various life phases.

    Description: A combined stable isotope and fatty acid trophic biomarker approach was adopted for key zooplankton taxa and higher trophic positions of the northern Humboldt Current System to elucidate the pelagic food-web structure and to better understand trophic interactions. Samples covered an extensive spatial range from 8.5°S to 16°S and a vertical range down to 1,000 m depth. Immediately after each haul, specimens were sorted alive in the lab and apparently live and healthy individuals were stored in vials and deep-frozen at -80°C until further lipid and stable isotope analyses. The comprehensive data set covered over 20 zooplankton taxa and indicated that three biomass-rich crustacean species usually dominated the zooplankton community, i.e., the copepods Calanus chilensis at the surface and Eucalanus inermis in the pronounced oxygen minimum zone and the krill Euphausia mucronata, resulting in an overall low number of major trophic pathways toward anchovies. In addition, the semi-pelagic squat lobster Pleuroncodes monodon appears to play a key role in the benthic-pelagic coupling. By partly feeding on benthic resources and by diel vertical migration, P. monodon provides a unique pathway for returning carbon and energy from the sea floor to the epipelagic layer, increasing the food supply for pelagic fish.

    Description: Males of the four crab species Percnon affine (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), Grapsus albolineatus (Latreille in Milbert, 1812), Orisarma intermedium (Schubart &Ng, 2020), and Geothelphusa albogilva (Shy, Ng & Yu, 1994), were collected in the southern part of Taiwan in May 2007. Individuals were starved for 12 days and midgut glands were dissected before and after the starvation period. Midgut glands were lyophilized and total lipids were extracted with dichloromethane:methanol (2:1 per volume) and an aqueous solution of 0.88% KCl. Extracted lipid mass was determined gravimetrically. Lipid classes were separated and quantified using Thin-Layer Chromatography with an integrated flame ionization detector (MK-5 TLC/FID analyzer, Iatron Laboratories). Lipids were converted to fatty acids methyl esters (FAME) by applying methanol containing 3% concentrated sulfuric acid. FAMEs were quantified by gas chromatography equipped with a DB-FFAP column, a programmable temperature vaporizer injector, and a flame ionization detector. Helium was used as carrier gas. Fatty acids were identified by retention times and by using fish oil standard (Marinol). Data are supplement to: Stumpp et al (2021) Dietary preferences of brachyuran crabs from Taiwan for marine or terrestrial food sources: evidence based on fatty acid trophic markers accepted for publication in Frontiers in Zoology

    Description: Small copepod genera play an important role in marine food webs and biogeochemical fluxes but have been neglected in many studies. Abundance, biomass and carbon consumption rates of small- (〈1 mm prosome length (PL)), medium- (1-1.5 mm PL) and large-sized (〉2 mm PL) copepods along a cross-shelf transect in the southern Benguela upwelling system were determined using rather high taxonomic resolution. Zooplankton samples were collected with a Multinet (Hydrobios Multinet midi, 5 nets with 200 µm meshsize) during the Meteor cruise M153 in February/March 2019. Calanoids contributed on average 55 ± 19% to total copepod abundance and 82 ± 13% to total copepod biomass. Small-sized Oithona spp. (119/114 mg C m-2 d-1) and Clauso-/Paracalanidae (87/263 mg C m-2 d-1) as well as large-sized Calanoides natalis (47/193 mg C m-2 d-1) were the dominant consumers at the most inshore stations. Small and medium-sized copepodite stages of Metridia lucens were also important, especially towards the continental slope. At offshore stations, Para-/Clausocalanidae (17-27 mg C m-2 d-1), Oithona spp. (9-16 mg C m-2 d-1), Pleuromamma spp. (0-16 mg C m-2 d-1), Calanus agulhensis (0-15 mg C m-2 d-1), Acartia spp. (0-12 mg C m-2 d-1), C. natalis (0-10 mg C m-2 d-1) and M. lucens (2-6 mg C m-2 d-1) were dominant consumers. Hence, usually small- and medium-sized copepods dominated total copepod ingestion, emphasizing that inadequate representation of small copepods will lead to significant underestimations and misinterpretations of the functioning of zooplankton communities, and finally to inadequate biogeochemical models.
