Here, we show that the large-scale environmental forcing is reflected in the basin scale trends of the adult population of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus. The species is distributed over the whole Mediterranean basin, and maximal abundances were found in the north-western basin associated to oceanic fronts, and in the Adriatic Sea associated to shallow and semi enclosed waters. The peak of main abundances of C. typicus correlates with the latitudinal temperature gradient and the highest seasonal abundances occurred in spring within the 14–18°C temperature window. Such thermal cline may define the latitudinal geographic region where C. typicus seasonally dominates the >200 μm-sized spring copepod community in the Mediterranean Sea. The approach used here is generally applicable to investigate the large-scale spatial patterns of other planktonic organisms and to identify favourable environmental windows for population development This work is a contribution to the priority program AQUASHIFT (The impact of climate variability on aquatic ecosystems, IFM-GEOMAR, Germany Peer Reviewed 2013-10-11T11:13:36Z 2013-10-11T11:13:36Z 2009-01 2013-10-11T11:13:36Z artículo http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 doi: 10.1007/s10750-008-9524-8 issn: 0018-8158 e-issn: 1573-5117 Hydrobiologia 617(1): 41-53 (2009) http://hdl.handle.net/10261/83951 10.1007/s10750-008-9524-8 en https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-008-9524-8 none Springer
