Zooplankton are important component of the Southern Ocean ecosystem yet so little is known about the distribution of most species and how this has changes through time. The project used existing data collect from the Southern Ocean Continuous Plankton Recorder Program (https://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/cpr/index.cfm). CPR data from 2000 to 2016 was extracted from the database and paired with environmental data (SST, SST anomaly, IOD, SAM, mixed layer depth). Hierarchical Models of Species Communities (HMSC) was used to model the zooplankton community to make inferences and predictions on the distribution of species and how they have changed through time.
