Male <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/copepods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>copepods</span></a> carefully mechanically and chemically track a receptive female, capture them, and deposit an adhesive spermatophore near the genital opening, all assisted with their specially modified antennae. The "bent" geniculate antenna in Calanoids are usually characteristic for identification. <br><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/zooplankton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zooplankton</span></a></p>

Headlines Africa<p>Africa: Drifting Architects - Plankton, Climate, and the Race to Understand Our Changing Ocean: [UN News] Drifting with the currents, plankton are the ocean's lifeblood - invisible yet essential, regulating the climate and sustaining entire ecosystems. On the French Riviera, scientists are racing to decipher their secrets before the silence of their decline echoes across the planet. <a href="http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TLFKWY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">newsfeed.facilit8.network/TLFK</span><span class="invisible">WY</span></a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Plankton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plankton</span></a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/OceanConservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OceanConservation</span></a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/MarineEcosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarineEcosystem</span></a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/SustainableScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SustainableScience</span></a></p>

It can measure ocean altimetry to a mm, imaging internal waves and small sub eddies (rotating mixing zones). Tiny changes in height happen when water swirls (try it in a sink) with greater height at the edges due to centripetal force. These may be even more important for temperature &amp; nutrient flux, so ultimately <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystem</span></a> productivity &amp; <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/carbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>carbon</span></a> cycling. <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a><br><a href="https://stories.tamu.edu/news/2025/05/27/small-currents-big-impact-satellite-breakthrough-reveals-hidden-ocean-forces/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stories.tamu.edu/news/2025/05/</span><span class="invisible">27/small-currents-big-impact-satellite-breakthrough-reveals-hidden-ocean-forces/</span></a></p>
