Dead or alive? Viability assessment of micro- and mesoplankton (2012, background): “However, mortality, including non-predation mortality, drives the population dynamics of zooplankton, and hence viability is also important for an improved understanding of food webs and fluxes in marine ecosystems (Dubovskaya et al., 2003; Tang et al., 2006).”
Non-consumptive mortality in copepods: occurrence of Calanus spp. carcasses in the Arctic Ocean during winter (2014, background): “However, fracture of the carapace can also result from bacterial infection during the decomposition process although the carapace proved to be relatively resistant to microbial degradation (Tang et al. , 2006).”
Motility of zooplankton: fitness, foraging and predation (2007, background): “…rate is typical for a range of marine copepods, even in the absence of direct predation, that is due solely to parasites and disease (Mauchline, 1998; Tang et al., 2006), and may be deemed a reasonable estimate when behaviour independent predation (e.g. fast swimming cruise predators) is included.”
Simple staining method for differentiating live and dead marine zooplankton in field samples (2009, background): “The first published study to address the possibility of artifact mortality was Tang et al. (2006).”
