Zooplankton and the Ocean Carbon Cycle. (2017, background): “POC flux measured over the continental shelf of the western Antarctic Peninsula is dominated by fecal pellets, mostly from large Antarctic krill (Figure 4e), which constitute 67% of the total POC flux in summer compared with 34% in winter, when krill abundance is low (Gleiber et al. 2012).”
Long-term (1993-2013) changes in macrozooplankton off the Western Antarctic Peninsula (2015, background): “, 2009), or to more sporadic export events, due to the ephemeral nature of salp blooms (Gleiber et al., 2012).”
KRILLBASE: a circumpolar database of Antarctic krill and salp numerical densities, 1926–2016 (2016, background): “Both taxa are important in biogeochemical cycling and nutrient export (Pakhomov et al., 2002; Phillips et al., 2009; Gleiber et al., 2012; Schmidt et al., 2016) They have broadly similar size, but have fundamentally different life cycles, habitat preferences, and nutritional composition and thus…”
Carbon fluxes and pelagic ecosystem dynamics near two western Antarctic Peninsula Adélie penguin colonies: an inverse model approach (2013, background): “However, in austral summer, krill are the dominant grazers especially in water influenced by sea ice (Bernard et al. 2012, Steinberg et al. 2012), and krill fecal pellets dominate export flux (Gleiber et al. 2012).”
