Journal of the Week: Journal of Plankton Research

The Journal of Plankton Research publishes papers dealing with both zoo and phytoplankton, in marine, freshwater and brackish environments, that significantly advance the field of plankton research and our understanding of the wider role of plankton in ecosystem dynamics, ecology and evolution.
