| Notes | This paper summarizes the results of over 20 years of observations of zooplankton invasions of Pacific Northwest estuaries, from 2006-2016. “Our results show that some estuaries across the region are invaded by multiple zooplankton species and that the geographic extent of invasion is far greater than previously reported for at least five species of copepods . . . We propose that the geographic distribution of these invaders is strongly constrained by geomorphic characteristics that define the salinity and mixing regimes in these estuaries, reflecting the strong role that physical forces play in structuring estuarine zooplankton communities.” (from the Abstract) This is an open-access publication. |
