| Sumario: | Zooplankton play a central role in marine trophic webs, influencing both biogeochemistry and productivity of the oceans. Changes in their communities are important indicators of overall ecosystem health and global change impacts. With increasing exploitation and pressures on the marine environment, there is a growing need for high-resolution monitoring of marine zooplankton to provide detailed information about seasonal to decadal changes at local, regional, and global scales. This crucial knowledge is gathered mainly through long-term time series, which are key to characterizing and forecasting changes in marine zooplankton assemblages. In this Introduction, and through the articles included in this Themed Article Set, we bring together new insights, issuing from data time series, into zooplankton population dynamics.We also take up the application of such time series to the understanding of global change impacts on marine ecosystems and in providing advice on sustainable management of marine ecosystem resources and services. We highlight the importance of maintaining and supporting long-term marine zooplankton time series as key contributors to the development and advancement of the United Nations’ Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Goal 13-Climate action and Goal 14-Life below water. |
