The dependence of body weight in copepodite stages of Pseudocalanus spp. on variations of ambient temperature and food concentration by Lidia Dzierzbicka-Głowacka

“…The results presented here indicate that <i>Pseudocalanus</i> sp. from Puget Sound (a species resembling <i>Pseudocalanus minutus</i>) is similar to <i>P. elongatus</i> from the southern North Sea and the English Channel with respect to growth parameters in the studied range of temperatures for excess food. …”

Phytoplankton diversity and community composition along the estuarine gradient of a temperate macrotidal ecosystem: combined morphological and molecular approaches. by Pauline Bazin, Fabien Jouenne, Thomas Friedl, Anne-Flore Deton-Cabanillas, Bertrand Le Roy, Benoît Véron

“…Microscopical and molecular analyses were used to investigate the diversity and spatial community structure of spring phytoplankton all along the estuarine gradient in a macrotidal ecosystem, the Baie des Veys (eastern English Channel). Taxa distribution at high tide in the water column appeared to be mainly driven by the tidal force which superimposed on the natural salinity gradient, resulting in a two-layer flow within the channel. …”

Statistical modeling of the space–time relation between wind and significant wave height by S. Obakrim, S. Obakrim, P. Ailliot, V. Monbet, N. Raillard

“…A transfer function is established between wind fields over the North Atlantic (predictors) and the significant wave height (predictand) at three locations: southwest of the French coast (Gironde), the English Channel, and the Gulf of Maine. The developed method considers both wind seas and swells by including local and global predictors. …”

Regime Shift in an Exploited Fish Community Related to Natural Climate Oscillations. by Arnaud Auber, Morgane Travers-Trolet, Maria Ching Villanueva, Bruno Ernande

“…Based on a 24-year-long time-series of scientific surveys monitoring 55 fish and cephalopods species, we report here a rapid and persistent structural change in the exploited fish community of the eastern English Channel from strong to moderate dominance of small-bodied forage fish species with low temperature preferendum that occurred in the mid-1990s. …”

The peculiar case of Myxicola infundibulum (Polychaeta: Sabellidae): echo from a science 200 years old and description of four new taxa in the Mediterranean Sea by M. Putignano, C. Gravili, A. Giangrande

“…We also examined material present in the collection of one of the authors previously identified as M. infundibulum, comparing Mediterranean material to some from the English Channel, and material from North America. This led to the erection of four taxa new to science from material recently collected along the Italian coasts, and the restoration of Myxicola pacifica Johnson, 1901. …”
