The 43 pages that link to Plankton, each with the reason it gives.

• Filter feedingRelated: Planktonic organisms make up much of the food captured by aquatic filter feeders.

• ZooplanktonNarrower topic: Zooplankton are the animal and animal-like members of this broader drifting community.

• LarvaNarrower topic: Many aquatic larvae are planktonic, dispersing far from where they hatched.

• Freshwater ecologyRelated: Plankton form a major base of lake and river food webs.

• Suspension feedingNarrower topic: Many suspension feeders obtain food from plankton carried past or through them.

• ForaminiferaNarrower topic: Planktonic foraminifera drift in the water column, unlike many bottom-dwelling species.

• Larval dispersalNarrower topic: Many dispersing larvae spend part or all of their early life as plankton.

• Whale sharkRelated: Plankton forms a major part of the whale shark’s filtered food.

• CrustaceaNarrower topic: Many crustaceans form a substantial part of aquatic plankton.

• Manta rayNarrower topic: Plankton is the main food source gathered by manta ray filter feeding.

• Benthic locomotionCompared with: Planktonic drift contrasts with active travel along an aquatic bottom.

• Peruvian anchovetaNarrower topic: Anchoveta feed chiefly on plankton, linking microscopic production to larger predators.

• Crustacean larvaRelated: Many crustacean larvae enter the plankton before settling or developing further.

• Forage fishRelated: Plankton supplies much of the food forage fish convert into animal biomass.

• Chicxulub impactNarrower topic: Sunlight loss and ocean disruption devastated plankton, weakening food webs worldwide.

• Surface feedingNarrower topic: Plankton can accumulate near the surface and become accessible to feeders.

• AlveolataNarrower topic: Many free-living alveolates are important members of marine and freshwater plankton.

• American shadRelated: Plankton forms a major part of the shad's food supply.

• Atlantic herringNarrower topic: Planktonic animals, especially copepods, are major food for herring.

• ClupeidaeRelated: Plankton supplies much of the food consumed by clupeids.

• RadiolariaRelated: Most radiolarians live as drifting members of marine plankton.

• ZoeaNarrower topic: Zoeae disperse in the water column as members of the plankton.

• NeustonNarrower topic: Many neuston are planktonic, though the term also includes organisms with other lifestyles.

• PondRelated: Drifting plankton form the pond’s microscopic food web and respond quickly to changing conditions.

• OarfishRelated: Planktonic animals make up much of the documented prey of oarfish.

• Megamouth sharkRelated: Plankton, especially krill, provides the megamouth shark’s food.

• MilkfishRelated: Milkfish larvae feed on plankton during their early marine life.

• Pacific sauryRelated: Planktonic animals and other small prey contribute to saury’s diet.

• SalpNarrower topic: Salps feed on plankton and themselves drift as part of plankton communities.

• Basket starNarrower topic: Plankton is a major food source trapped by basket stars' outstretched arms.

• Carl ChunRelated: Chun’s zoological work also included plankton, a major subject of oceanic sampling.

• LeedsichthysRelated: Small drifting organisms are the likely food source behind Leedsichthys's filter-feeding lifestyle.

• Marine lifeBroader topic: Many marine food webs begin with drifting microscopic producers and consumers.

• Anthias anthiasRelated: Small drifting animals form much of the food available to these reef fish.

• Clione limacinaNarrower topic: Clione is a mobile member of planktonic communities in cold seas.

• CoregonusRelated: Plankton is a major food source for many lake-dwelling coregonids.

• Crangon crangonNarrower topic: The shrimp's early larvae drift in the water column as plankton.

• HeterocongrinaeRelated: Garden eels feed on plankton carried past their burrow openings.

• HippoideaRelated: Many mole crabs filter plankton and other suspended particles from incoming surf.

• Ranina raninaRelated: The early larvae disperse through the water column as plankton.

• Sea appleRelated: Planktonic material forms part of the suspended food available to sea apples.

• SpratRelated: Sprats feed largely on plankton, linking microscopic production to larger marine animals.

• TamisiocarididaeRelated: Small planktonic organisms are among the proposed food sources captured by tamisiocaridid filters.
