The symposium will host workshops as part of its program. W5 tackles "approaches towards findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) zooplankton trait data as stepping stones to improved functional ecology."

To improve the monitoring of zooplankton populations (and our understanding of the impacts of climate change), we could combine traditional techniques (like nets, plankton recorders) with newer methods such as molecular data, advanced sensors, robotic imagers and satellites.

The review identifies 168 long-term zooplankton monitoring programs, with large gaps in coastal Asia, South America and much of Africa, and 'severely lacking’ in offshore open-ocean locations.
Of all these monitoring programs, only 19% have their data freely available.

In the biological carbon pump, zooplankton:
🦠 graze on phytoplankton near the surface
🔽 shift carbon into the deep ocean
♻️recycle essential resources eg. iron, nitrogen
💩 excrete nutrients that ‘fertilise’ phytoplankton
But how ocean warming will change this is unclear.

Marine zooplankton are important eco-influencers because they:
💥 transfer energy from primary production into the food chain
🐋 feed larger marine animals
🔄 drive global biogeochemical cycles
🎣 provide us with ecosystem services like fishery production and carbon storage.

What do warming oceans mean for marine #zooplankton? A new global review by 22 authors led by @LavyRajah is published in @NatureComms. It highlights important gaps in our knowledge that need to be urgently addressed.
