Copepodamide Alarm Cues In Marine Plankton

Copepodamides are N-acyl taurine alarm cues produced by copepods. The dataset summarizes research on 41 identified copepodamide compounds and documents responses from 21 marine protist taxa. It was authored by Milad Pourdanandeh and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model harmful algal bloom formation by analyzing copepodamide presence as a predictor variable.
• Study inducible defense mechanisms in phytoplankton using copepodamide response data across 21 protist taxa.
• Investigate marine food web interactions by mapping copepodamide production across different copepod species.
• Benchmark bioreactor yields of natural products by correlating them with copepodamide signaling pathways.

Strengths

• Summarizes research on 41 distinct copepodamide compounds.
• Documents biological responses from 21 marine protist taxa.

Limitations

• Dataset size is only 12.4 KB, indicating limited primary data.
• No column names or sample data are provided, limiting direct analysis.
• Temporal and spatial coverage of the underlying measurements is unspecified.
