Microbial diversity associated with copepods in the North Atlantic subtropical gyre ...
To characterize microscale spatial heterogeneity, microbial community composition of microzooplankton, primarily small copepods, was investigated in comparison to bacterioplankton in surrounding seawater from the oligotrophic open ocean. Zooplankton individuals were collected at or above the deep ch...
